On Monday night, the Flyers were visiting the Vancouver Canucks and as they kept on pushing to try and actually take advantage of playing against the worst team in the NHL, Matvei Michkov and Nick Seeler had an on-ice miscommunication issue that eventually led to the 21-year-old winger getting into a in reaction to something Seeler said. There is a whole lot of speculation circling around about what exactly caused this giant argument that was eventually seen on the NBC Sports Philadelphia broadcast and then spread like wildfire online. But the main thing is that it happened and now their dirty laundry has been tossed violently around for everyone to see. Because of this Flyers general manager Danny Briere was asked about the situation in Vancouver and he really tried to calm the waters. Danny Briere downplays the severity of the Michkov-Seeler spat Briere was attending the annual fall general manager meetings in Toronto following Hockey Hall of Fame Weekend and considering he was in the center of the hockey universe as his young star player looked like he wanted to bite the head off of his depth defenseman, he had to get a quote out. The Athletic’s Pierre LeBrun spoke with Briere about the incident and he could relate to it. “I’ve been part of situations like that a number of times during my playing career,” . “I’m not surprised. Especially when the team hasn’t won as much as we’d hoped to start the season, there’s naturally some frustration from that side of things. The players are frustrated. There’s no doubt about that. We see some situations, but in this case, it got caught on TV. “But listen, I lived it many times as a player. For me, it’s totally natural.” It doesn’t surprise us, either, that during Briere’s 17-year NHL career that there have been some serious spats between teammates and maybe he was even involved at times. But as he mentions, instead of behind closed doors or in the locker room after the game, the frustration was visible for the whole hockey world to see. All of their business was flashed on a million screens instead of voiced in a more private setting so that they can then get back on the ice with more concentration and not get busy yelling at each other in between whistles. There is no disputing that Michkov himself is fiery and competitive player, that is why he has been so successful at times, but when the team overall is doing so poorly that it is now affecting the general morale of the group, the frustration is getting poured out in other ways, as Briere said. The Flyers are performing well below expectations and are not feeling good about the whole thing. Briere spoke with LeBrun before the nightmare report from ESPN’s Kevin Weekes was released about And according to multiple reports, the Flyers were unaware of the player’s desire to leave, and this But clearly, Briere knew that his players, and especially Michkov, have been frustrated about the results and the team piling up losses left and right. Where things go from here is a complete mystery. The Flyers are most likely still trying to process what exactly set Michkov to take the monumental step and speak with his agent about a trade out of Philadelphia. Briere is on his way to re-join the Flyers on their road trip, and could be there by the time you’re reading this. Him and the rest of the front office might have a restless night as they try to navigate the situation that they are currently in and how they move forward. There are possibly and not have him and his agent try to pry themselves out from the Flyers, but that’s also to be determined. Maybe there is some other drastic move that can be made as soon as the Flyers return from their road trip. All we have now is that Briere is trying to downplay the Michkov-Seeler argument and that was before that event might have set off something catastrophic. The Flyers are visiting the Edmonton Oilers on Wednesday night as they try to close out their road trip on a somewhat positive note. That won’t happen. Connor McDavid is going to rip them to shreds. But now, everything will be about Michkov and this informal trade request and how this on-ice altercation that the entire hockey world saw could have very well been the tipping point.
