If you haven't seen this already, it's certainly worth a watch. While the rumors continue to circulate that Matvei Michkov is not on the same page with some of his Philadelphia Flyers teammates and even his head coach, the team denies that there's any friction and that he's happy there and isn't going anywhere.

This viral video evidence making the rounds gives us potentially more of the other side of the story. Veteran Flyers forward and team leader Travis Konecny got into it with Michkov on the bench the other night, going at each other in a verbal exchange that was caught on camera. And what you can clearly see, even if you're only an amateur lip-reader, near the end of the animated exchange, is Konecny calling the young Russian forward a "f-----g lunatic."

Konecny incident just the latest for Michkov 

This all came right in the heat of the 'Michkov wants out of Philly' rumors that started up this week, amid another chaotic moment for Michkov with another teammate, Nick Seeler.

GM Danny Briere wrote off the Michkov/Seeler incident this way:

“They’re competitive guys. Matvei is one of the most competitive people and players we’ve had here in a while,” Briere said. “When you’re not winning, yeah, there are some rifts here and there. I’ve been through it in my career many, many times."

But as the Konecny incident gets more airplay, the questions surrounding Michkov's place in the Flyers' room continue to percolate. The Russian's former agent dropped a bombshell commentary on Thursday about Michkov's desire to get out of Philly.  

To be fair, there has also been a report out there about Konecny, and the team's unhappiness with him. Anthony Di Marco of Daily Faceoff doubled down on his report this week.
