The Philadelphia Flyers might be playing a game on Tuesday but all anyone can talk about is the potential crisis regarding head coach Rick Tocchet and winger Matvei Michkov. So much so that general manager Danny Briere had to come and clear the air publicly.
As the rumors started to swirl that there is potentially a massive conflict between Michkov and Tocchet bubbling up to the surface, and just about everyone had their take on how the Flyers should handle the situation, the team acted quickly enough to potentially calm the waters.

Before the game started as the Flyers hosted the Washington Capitals on Tuesday night, Briere met with the media to try and make it clear that everything is fine behind the scenes and the young star winger and head coach aren’t butting heads as much as everyone wants to think.
