HF Habs: Out of Town Thread: 2024-2025 season

[the valiant effort]

Bedard is going to eat the WJC for din din

 

[LaP]

Kulich just scored his 2nd goal in 11 games. 2 pts in 11 games. On pace for 13 pts this year....

Where's the Kulich crowd at?

Why do people have to bring this every weeks? The guy is 20 years old for god sake the takes some posters have around here are crazy. Maybe wait for him to be 23 and then you can bark all you want.

 

[LaP]

It's probably remastered. They can do a lot of really impressive stuff with AI enhancing now.

It definitely is. Here's how it looks while not remastered

 

[Draft]

It’s not about the direct comparison — but rather how well Michkov hit the ground (ice) running.

Slaf played against adults in Finland, did well in the Olys and held his own against men in the Worlds and yet he struggled big time in the NHL as a rookie. So given all the VALID excuses put forth to contextual Slafkovsky’s rookie season, I find it remarkable how well Michkov has managed to keep up. He might win the Calder.

In fact, he’s out producing Slafkovsky this season.

Pretty impressive.

Ah yes, ReHabs with weird, biased takes about Slafkovsky. The sun will rise again tomorrow.

 

[LaP]

Michkov was always a better prospect than Slafkovsky at every age they've been alive not sure why anybody would be suprised that he's better than Slaf going forward in their careers. They are different players though so I'm not sure I like the comparison , I also take Michkov over Nemec or Cooley or Wright so there's that

Why are we even comparing the two? They were not drafted the same f***ing year. Slafkovsky is one of the 3 best players in his draft for now with Cooley and Mintyukov. They are very close from each other and right now hard to know which one will end up being the best, I guess you could add Hutson to the mix but sample size is too small imo.

This board at time is insufferable. The takes people have over 18-22 years old players are simply crazy. It's not like it's just one bad take every 40 games it's daily like i feel some posters would be happy if Slafkovsky would bust. They certainly try very hard to bring him down. Reading this board it'S like all our prospects are terrible and they will all bust no exception. Even Hutson i feel people are not as high as they should be he's a special prospect.

Over half his games were played in a not-NHL sized rink.

Sigh, more wortless drivel based on expectations of facts aligned with your own bias, but not the actual facts. If you were interested in facts, you would've also verified if the MHL also did this transition, seeing how the KHL his its parent league. And lo and behold the MHL also made the transition, which is just logical. But you're not looking for logic nor facts here. Michkov has played many games on NHL sized rinks since he was 16.

He's not adapting to NHL rink size. Full stop.

He’s a rookie who doesn’t speak English (Torts remarked on this recently). He’s adapting to a new culture, new league, etc.

That’s my point. Not sure why you’re so hung up on MHL rink sizes. It was one bit of my comment that was of minor relevance — what’s funny is you won’t stop, Sochi was built for the Olympics it was IIHF sized — overall the comment is obvious: he’s adapted very very well.

What’s your point ?

My point is simply to refute that lame argument you used TWICE. You can pretend it's minor, yet you repeated it, so you must've thought it had significant relevance. It doesn't. Take the L and move on.

It's not that I won't stop. The problem is you can't accept that it's wrong, where I need to reply to correct your cpunter arguments that don't hold water.

Instead of owning up to it, you counter argue even though you've loss that argument. That's you, not me.

His home arena was IIHF sized — you didn’t know this when you made your comment but you you know this now… and you’re still persisting. Not sure why?

Best two players along with Hutson.

 

[Redux91]

Michkov OT winner, guess Torts trusts him more now

16 in 19

Adapting to new ice, new language, etc. on pace for 69pts in his rookie season. Slafkovsky was on pace for 20.

Lmao there he is
Gotta bring up your Slafkovsky scar of course
I can understand people bitching about Reinbacher when it comes to Michkov, sure

But this?
There is 0 surprise lol
Everyone knows who you are.
You should change your name to ReFlyers honestly
Do us all a favor.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

I watched the game, he looked really good. He was constantly generating offence and creating chances for the Flyers.

A rookie that’s producing and looks dominant right off the gate. We could have used one of those.

We do, Hutson.

You're seriously just a troll, because you have no idea that Michkov scored on a PP. You don't give a crap about the kid, and you definitely didn't watch the game. Trust the kid on a PP in OT? Give me a f***ing break.


You just want to stir shit up.

 

[waitin425]

We missed hard on Michkov. Oozes superstar. We will be lucky if Demi produces like Michkov is.

If Rein busts, this management needs to really analyze how that happened. Tons of people were on the Michkov train for a reason. It was obvious to a lot of people, but for some reason not our guys. I'll let it all play out....but it really makes me question Hugo. I am/was high on them...but the polish is off missing that pick.

Trusting a rookie to play in OT — yes. What part of it is wrong?

You just want to stir shit up.

Being gaslight for three straight years while every excuse in the book is yanked out to excuse Slafkovsky’s initial performances and the Michkov non-pick does cause an honest person to want to set the record straight: the excuses for both Slafkovsky and the non-pick were exaggerated to deflect criticism.

It’s hopeless with most Habs fans, sadly.

 

[vokiel]

Andersson with the shootout winner in Calgary. Nice to see the Flames, in da mix!

Well, for those that can't let the michkov saga go, you gotta come up with new ways to gaslight the Habs crowd.

There will be 15 more years of this to look forward to.

You can either let it trigger you or just scroll down and find something else in the thread that you want to talk about.

What's funny around here is if Mitchkov was still in Russia and Reinebacher being a pts per game with the Habs nobody would let go of that ''saga'' and that would be allright.

It's a messages board where we are suppose to be able to give our opinion on the team we cheer for good or bad, i'm not sayin rehabs or anybody else do it the right way but we have to admitt that taking Reinbacher instead of Michkov doesn't look good right now

I mean, the same person who posted hundreds of post vomiting uncalled for vitriol about an 18 year who he never saw play now wants to defend a 20 year old because Habs fans are being meanies. It's hypocrisy and the typical disingenuous posts we've come to know from him.

 

[red devil]

Drouin is on hatty watch as he both goals for the Avalanche

 

[the valiant effort]

Mackinnon still skating 214mph at the end of a shift. Just a preposterous beast

 

[The Great Weal]

Drouin is on hatty watch as he both goals for the Avalanche

Former Habs killing it on the Avs while former Avs laying an egg with the Habs

If we are going to talk about every single time a team ends up picking a guy who turns out not to have the best hockey career out of the guys available, there will be a list longer than than the moves that Chris Jericho did better than Dean malenko.

Ultimately, I'm focused on the habs making as many draft picks as possible count so that they become key peices to building a cup contending team. In that respect, I am concerned about reinbacher especially with the latest injury setback.

But as far as michkov goes, I'm not stopping anyone from posting their opinion. I'm basically saying that it's beating a dead horse in that there isn't any new constructive thoughts being offered, and it's going to continue for a long time, because he looks like he's going to be good player for that long.

 

[HuGort]

So, one thing I've never heard of being backed by a guy I wouldn't trust

They can have Jiricek. I've had enough of trying to catch lightning in a bottle. Very rarely does it work out. If we trading our draft picks want established players. Know more what you are getting

I respectfully disagree. The amount of dogshit posts from people here calling Michkov a heavily flawed player that will suck defensively, has horrible compete, is a terrible teammate...etc makes me believe that it's warranted to bring up when he dunks on them. Guy could score 82 points in his rookie season and those same people would still be in denial.
