We see him being a part of the picture for years to come, that has not changed,” said Briere on Thursday. On Wednesday, Rick Tocchet mentioned that it was an organizational decision to scratch Michkov in favor of Jett Luchanko in Game 4 against Carolina. The Flyers were eventually eliminated.
Briere mentioned some of that on Thursday. “It’s not because he was scratched in that last game that it changes everything. The coaches wanted to put the best lineup to give them a chance to win in that last game.
And you know, it’s no secret that it had been tough. Carolina is a skating team and puts a lot of pressure. There wasn’t a lot of room to create.
