Prospect Info: Round 1, 7th overall: Matvei Michkov, RW, SKA St. Petersburg (KHL)

[Magua]

Cutter would have shot the second he got the puck above the circles, walking into open space is for limp wristed soy boys.

I know you're half-joking, but I have zero doubt he would've shot it the moment Michkov faked it and drove in deeper.

This is the difference between an elite shooter and an elite scorer. Michkov shoots the exact moment he sees the goalie drop down. He knew the look he wanted.

Gretzky scored a ton by baiting goalies into reacting and then attacking whatever opened up.

I am indeed saying he is going to be a better goalscorer than Gretzky.

Duh, but will he be as good as Cutter?

Everything was open for Gretzky. Those trash cans finally learned their knees bent halfway through his career

 

[Embiid]

So Michkov wears no 39..who on the Flyers has worn those digits besides Dave Fenyves..lol

Gretzky enjoyed getting goalies to drop into butterfly so he could pick the upper part of the net.

Butterfly style saves existed for decades. Pad tech just didn't allow it to be a nonstop constant thing, and butterfly comes with weaknesses of its own.

Anything that had to do with goal scoring pre-1980 doesn't count. Dudes could slide the pick into the net from behind the blue line

Dudes could score while taking a shower after the game was over

I'm talking about hockey not Wilt Chamberlain

 

[scumpup]

cant believe hockey used to be a big man slapping a frozen cow turd with a big stick and people said it was better than Morgan Frost being the most adorable cutiepatootie this side of the schuylkill river

 

[Tripod]

I think someone is having a stroke

Or intoxicated

Michkov scored on Kolosov

 

[Kermit the Prog]

I've watched more Michkov highlights since he was drafted than total minutes watching Flyers games over the past three years.

 

[Philly Fanatik]

Kolosov is a clone of Carter Hart but quicker!
He’s has a chance to be the Flyers future.
Playing a great game today.

Oh God. Michkov and Kolosov are gonna come over and save John's job next year aren't they? Hockey Jesus help us

No,no…nobody is saving Torts job!
Just stated that Kolosov played a great game today and he’s quicker than Hart…SIMPLE!

I know I was just using hyperbole as a joke. They would have to come over and play other worldly for that to happen

 

[Striiker]

I don’t know if this comparison has been made yet but he reminds me of Michael Parks but with a different skillset.

I see Michkov as an Anthony Beauvillier clone, personally.

I agree that Frost is as good as Michkov

 

[Alex K]

May I play this comparison game too? Torts is a clown of Vigneault. Pardon me if I misspelled Vigneault.
