today on this flyers v penguins game day i'm thinking about how my dad used to have a subscription to men's health magazine but when sidney crosby got on the cover he cancelled it and hasn't talked about it since
also for that translator post -- it's quite obvious to me that the flyers organization, especially danny, is trying to shield matvei heavily from the media in sort of a way that some rookies have never gotten so maybe that factors into why an "official" translator has never been hired for him (or any of the russians for that matter) as it gives the media and fans yet another reason to bother him
the flyers’ unwillingness to hire michkov a translator/interpreter is starting to irrationally piss me off like they don’t care about that kid at all but expect him to deliver every night
hey so, might just be me, but if you cannot figure out a way to effectively communicate with your players you’re a bad coach! you’re actually not coaching at all because they don’t know what you’re saying! you have one job and you’re failing! why aren’t you advocating for your players??
the tags on the reblogs of this post are fucking wildddd. the handling of michkov's interpreter in the beginning of the season was a little suspect. why are we relying on egor zamula who is a player on the team to translate for mich for media interviews? if z is playing poorly, why are we continuing to keep him in the lineup for the sole reason of being mich's "professional best friend"? flyers started using slava kuznetsov to help translate instead, which only brought on more ire from fans and supporters, including me. slava is a skating skills coach for the flyers. why not get a professionally trained interpreter when the flyers have the whole might of comcast spectator's money bag backing them? when you look at mlb which require each baseball team to have at least one spanish interpreter hired, it seemed odd, cheap, and disrespectful. i'm still not 100% sure why a professional interpreter has not been hired, but seeing michy on several interviews with slava, it seems like he is comfortable with him. maybe it's just that. maybe he's just more comfortable. maybe the flyers are trying to shield him also from the media before they attack him like like they have with other 'superstar' rookies of the past. that kinda thing is interesting to speculate on.
it is nice to look at source material though, instead of one isolated quote by a flyers beat.
(most filler words removed) Journalist: "I think it was Konecny, after the game yesterday, said that between periods, you know, your message was that game could go either way - at that point it was kind of a sloppy first period. First shift, coming out of the second, you see Michkov kind of, it seemed like, you know he made that play at the side of the net and - and you guys just started rolling from there. Is that - do you feel like he's someone that takes that message to heart and he's the kind of guy that wants to go out and make a play and get things turned around?" Torts: "I don't think he understands a word I'm saying in between periods. Yeah." Journalist: "Yeah, okay." Torts: "We - [laughs, journalist laughs] - we - I don't. We - we have - when I speak, Daryl Williams goes to him and gives him, you know, the bullet points I guess of what we're saying. With more time - he takes his time with him. Yeah, he just pulls him aside. It's - it's - he's actually - he's actually getting a lot better. He really is. Tipp [Owen Tippett] does, you know - Tipp's on his line and I use Tipp quite a bit during the game - like I'll have two lines up, you know, like last night, if Cates is on the fly - if Larkin doesn't come, I have Frosty's line [of Tippett and Michkov]. Mich can't - he doesn't understand that and this is going on in the game, and I hit Tipp, and Tipp will let him know - he'll let him know when to change, kind of like that, so that's what you have to do but he's getting much better. But to answer your question, I thought the movement with or without the puck in the second period was one of our best periods offensively."
this is during the first 1 min 20 sec of this 10 min presser here. i would just be 100% sure the source material is consulted before spreading the assumption everywhere that torts is an ineffective communicator. after jamey baskow's quote, torts thoroughly explains how his assistant coach is helping mich understand everything and how his linemate is helping him during the game as well, which i think is a fairly reasonable and expected thing for any non-english speaking player to have linemates they trust to help them throughout the game.
thank you.
ok i did say it was interesting to speculate what mich wants out of his interpreter and how much flyers and himself might be hiding from the media. before the red wings game on dec. 13, 2024, same day as the torts presser actually, he had a new interview with nbc sports philadelphia reporter ashlyn sullivan and he said this:
Ashlyn: "And Matvei, I see you all the time on the bench talking to teammates, in the locker room, you can really tell you're trying to connect with them. How are you working on the English language?" Mich (through Slava): "English is better right now." Mich (through Slava): "Only locker room. He will not - he don't want to demonstrate it in front of camera."
that implies to me that he knows way more english than any outsiders think or know and he just doesn't want to show all his cards yet (exhibit a is him yapping constantly to his teammates on the ice and on the bench and exhibit b is him constantly chirping opposing team players enough that he provokes them into fighting him). so i would think that he is in full control here with what he wants and does not want and his teammates absolutely have his back.
thanks for listening to my ted talk.
