Matvei Michkov is made for the moment. Wherever this Flyers season ends up, that much is clear. Against the Blackhawks on Saturday, and at a 4-on-3 advantage from a Chicago holding call, the 19-year-old surveyed the situation with the puck from up high before dropping it off to Travis Sanheim at the point. The Chicago skaters' eyes all tracked the puck, and Michkov snuck down toward the net with no one looking. Travis Konecny camped up at the left side of the goal line and Sanheim slid the puck down to him, Sean Couturier hovered over the center of the net mouth to create a pick on the lone defender there, then Konecny threaded a seamless pass to Michkov's stick blade across the crease. Blackhawks goaltender Petr Mzarek was caught, Michkov fired the overtime winner home, and the Wells Fargo Center jumped to its feet as the horn blared and the comeback was made complete. The Flyers won, 3-2, climbing out of a 2-0 hole with the Russian phenom, and the rising star who the organization's grand plan is heavily depending on, putting an exclamation point on the rally. He was the hero again. He's made for this. "There's not many moments you're gonna get," Michkov, via Russian interpreter Slava Kuznetsov, said from the Flyers' locker room postgame. "When you get the moment, you have to be cold-blooded and realize it, finish it." He's made for a place like Philadelphia with a quote like that, too. Just over a week ago in Ottawa, Michkov completed another late Flyers surge when he tucked in the OT winner on a tough-angle shot along the goal line past Senators goaltender Linus Ullmark, sending Philly to a 5-4 win in a show of the rookie's burgeoning skill and willingness to shoot from almost anywhere on the ice. Was either scenario one of the real big-time moments that come late into the season or in the playoffs? No, not yet. But these are the ones that have presented themselves so far, and so far, Michkov has capitalized – hopefully with greater down the line, although everyone on the Flyers knows that they still have a ways to go to get there. "I think he likes being there," head coach John Tortorella said of Michkov in the clutch . "I think he does. I think TK likes that situation. He comes as advertised a little bit." It hasn't all been perfect, of course. Michkov was benched for a stretch at the end of October against the Blues , then was a healthy scratch for a couple of games at the end of a road trip two weeks ago , which was inevitable for a young player on a Tortorella-coached team as it was an unpopular choice among fans. His play away from the puck was always going to be a work in progress. Tortorella has frequently noted that since Michkov joined the team but never outwardly harped on him for it. The rookie is getting there in that regard, and he and Tortorella have found a way to talk and work through it past a steep language barrier . But Michkov's offensive talents are his gift, and the Flyers don't want to disrupt that. They need that, and they want to let him take off with it. "That's why it's nice that we have him now, right?" Tortorella said. "We knew it was going to be a little bit of a gong show as far as away from the puck – expected. We're going to slowly try to teach him that, but without getting in the way of what you're talking about, allowing him to play. "So as we're building, this is a good year that we can have these games to teach but not be overbearing with it, to allow him to experience some success. He's going to help our power play, he's going to help us in those types of situations, and it's something we need." For years to come. Having put the game-winner away, Michkov left the ice Saturday with seven goals and 16 points, which stood as second on the Flyers in scoring behind Konecny (11 goals, 25 points) and first among the NHL's 2024-25 rookie class. He also left outpacing Chicago's second-year star Connor Bedard (3 goals, 15 points), who was taken six spots ahead of Michkov at first overall in the draft two years ago, and with the two likely to go back and forth for years to come. "I hope it's only the beginning," Michkov said. "I think he'll try to get it back," he added with a smile. "I have to be ready for it." But he's made for this.

AP Top 25: Alabama, Mississippi out of top 10 and Miami, SMU are in; Oregon remains unanimous No. 1

No. 22 Xavier aims to keep its perfect record intact Monday night in Fort Myers, Fla., when it takes on South Carolina in the Fort Myers Tip-Off. The Musketeers (5-0) are coming off an 80-55 victory on Wednesday over Siena, while the Gamecocks (3-2) beat Mercer on Thursday 84-72. Against Mercer, South Carolina sank a season-best 12 3-pointers -- tied for the fourth-most in a single game under third-year coach Lamont Paris. Jamarii Thomas, a senior transfer from Norfolk State, had 19 points and swished 4 of 5 shots from behind the arc. "Thomas got some good, clean looks," Paris said. "It was good to see those guys make their shots. Hopefully it gets those guys going in the right direction." On the season, the Gamecocks are making 7.8 3-pointers per game and shooting 32.5 percent from deep. Senior guard Jacobi Wright makes a team-best 1.8 3-pointers per game and shoots 37.5 percent from behind the arc. At 13.0 ppg, he is second on the team behind Collin Murray-Boyles (15.8). Xavier is allowing eight makes from deep per game and is letting opponents shoot 38.5 percent from behind the arc, which ranks 337th in the country. And despite an undefeated record so far for the Musketeers, third-year coach Sean Miller is worried about his players developing bad habits. "We have a virus that everybody is looking at the stat sheet, trying to get as many points as they possibly can," Miller said after the win over Siena. "They want to win, but they really want to win and score. We need a couple of guys that are willing to rebound, defend, make the extra pass, play at a high level defensively and understand what makes a team great." Marcus Foster did a decent job of doing a little bit of everything for Xavier against Siena, piling up 12 points, five rebounds, five assists and a steal. It was the first double-digit scoring outing for Foster -- a grad transfer from Furman -- in a Xavier uniform. Since 2008, Xavier is 25-11 against teams from the Southeastern Conference, but it hasn't played South Carolina in that stretch. --Field Level Media

On Thursday, Fox News host and pundit Tomi Lahren floated the idea that the failed nomination of Matt Gaetz for attorney general was really an “Art of the Deal” plan orchestrated by Donald Trump. Gaetz announced that he was withdrawing his name for consideration as a series of stories about his alleged sexual misconduct began to emerge. But during an appearance on Fox’s “The Story,” Lahren saw a victory for Trump. “I think this whole thing was very strategic and in my estimation it has the ‘Art of the Deal’ written all over it,” Lahren told host Martha MacCallum. “Obviously, Matt Gaetz was a very controversial pick, some would say maybe the most controversial pick that Trump could of selected. So now whoever he picks as his second choice, they'll probably receive a little bit less scrutiny, they won't have as much heat on them.” x YouTube Video Lahren further argued that Trump’s other nominees would also have less “heat” and that Gaetz’s departure “kind of gave cover for some of the other controversial picks.” MacCallum then asked Lahren if she thought Gaetz himself was a part of the storyline she was forwarding. “This is all just my theory and my speculation, but I wouldn't put it past him. I think that this is a very strategic team,” she concluded. The nomination and withdrawal is an early black eye and political loss for Trump and the first since his election win. Trump gave up on Gaetz , according to reporting from The Bulwark, and called Gaetz to tell him he simply didn’t have the votes to confirm him. Lahren’s attempt to spin victory from a clear defeat is symptomatic of the role that Fox News and its stable of hosts and pundits play in the right-wing media world. Prominent leaders like Trump can never fail in this version of how the world works, but are master manipulators who control events—even when things go poorly for them. It is the sort of tortured logic that led Fox News figures to promote election conspiracies after Trump lost to President Joe Biden in 2020 and it cost the network nearly $800 million . Unfortunately, millions of conservative viewers rely on Fox News’ version of events to guide them and inform them, and it leads to a crisis of misinformation that ends up in votes for figures like Trump. Campaign ActionIndia and Kuwait to deepen ties, explore strategic energy partnershipDays after a Dollar General location abruptly closed its glass doors on Lafayette Street, the neighborhood store became a flashpoint for disagreements on crime and policing still lingering between Metro Council colleagues. Tensions escalated when several councilmembers decided to publicly add their two cents. Councilmember Terry Vo, whose District 17 includes the Lafayette store, initially told NewsChannel 5 that the closure would worsen the area’s insufficient access to food and goods, a crisis Vo referred to as “resource apartheid.” While wealthy Wedgewood-Houston sits less than a mile away, the Dollar General is nestled between MDHA-managed J.C. Napier and Tony Sudekum Apartments. The area endures a high concentration of gun violence and reported violent crime. Councilmember Courtney Johnston — a second-term member whose District 26 begins in Berry Hill and runs to the southern edge of Davidson County, and who recently lost a Republican primary bid to U.S. Rep. Andy Ogles — flamed Vo for her comments with a widely shared Facebook post. “It’s rich for one of the most anti police and public safety council members to rant about ‘food apartheid’ when she refuses to support measures that could ensure a safe environment for businesses to operate,” reads Johnston’s post in part. The direct words about business in another member’s district violated unspoken etiquette often observed between district councilmembers. It also elevated the conversation to be about more than just one store. A recently shuttered Dollar General location on Lafayette Street “It really has nothing to do with the Dollar General closing at all — it was about the hypocrisy of the councilmember of that district to publicly shame the business for closing,” Johnston tells the Scene . “We have good Democrats that do good work on council. But we also have activists who are not loyal to their constituents but to their own ideology.” Contested Chamber Sinks Police/Fusus Contract Split Metro Council rejects video integration technology by one vote despite plea from mayor While Dollar General has not publicly stated why it closed the Lafayette store, Johnston pinned it on high crime, a problem she blames on colleagues’ lack of support for police. The debate follows the council’s narrow recent rejection of Fusus , a video integration tool used by police, which Johnston supported and Vo opposed. Soon after Johnston’s post, District 30 Councilmember Sandra Sepulveda pushed back on her neighboring councilmember’s analysis. In between posts about holiday movies, Sepulveda penned her own statement. “DG’s cameras did not work," Sepulveda wrote in part. "I hear they have quite a bit of money. They could have installed new ones. Public safety is more than just one thing. CM Vo and her community have been pushing hard for a grocery store for a long time. This comes down to more than just public safety but [Johnston is] not really trying to understand.” The multi-post thread invited vicious, personal backlash from several X accounts, including at least one call for a candidate to run for Sepulveda’s seat in the next election. Sepulveda is term-limited. She declined the Scene 's request for comment. Vo tells the Scene she was at a conference for much of the week and chose to stay out of the fray on social media. "I have consistently advocated for comprehensive public safety solutions that address root causes like poverty, inequities and a lack of access to essential resources," Vo tells the Scene in a statement. "My commitment remains to serve all residents of District 17 with integrity and a focus on equity, safety and progress." Johnston’s Facebook post prompted a direct appeal from Vice Mayor Angie Henderson requesting that Johnston consider editing her wording. Johnston declined. "I encourage councilmembers not to make their frustrations over certain votes accusatory or personal," Henderson tells the Scene . "It is important as elected officials that we bring our most collegial and constructive selves to the floor of the council chamber as well as to online platforms." The Metro Council reconvenes for a regularly scheduled meeting on Dec. 17.
