In misery of redwings of suckage for a long time
Michkov is like if a Russian Stephen Hawking had a baby with a cheetah on an ice floe. He's like if Steph Curry were born in Siberia.

Funny shit. What do you think, how many points did all Sochi forwards but Michkov, Tyanulin and Khusnutdinov score in the last 5 games? The correct answer is zero...

Another point today. Primary assist.
Since he started scoring again on Halloween, Sochi as a team has 11 goals in 7 games. He has 7 points in the time frame.

Net-front tip to start the scoring 4 minutes into the game.

This is his 3rd game in a row trying one of these.
Coach is clearly letting him go at it. Michkov will finish one soon.
This kid is something special. Legit something special. I can't remember the last time the Flyers had someone like this.
He's so special that I'm so f***ing afraid that Torts and co will ruin him.

And now he just got a powerplay assist.
I'm kindly asking for one more point today, I won't get greedier than that.

I will
This game has a nasty edge to it. A blindside hit, a fight, some scuffles. Just what this league needs.

Sochi's coach always let's him do it and has since last season. The reason he doesn't attempt it every game is most opposing teams have actively tried to prevent it. Every KHL team is fully aware how automatic Michkov is at this. His highlight reels are littered with him doing this at every single level. KHL teams take the threat of him scoring a Michigan goal seriously. If NHL teams do not take him scoring the Michigan seriously he will score multiple of them when he comes over. I am not sure there has been a player as automatic at pulling off Michigans as Michkov. I personally think he should give aiming low a try. Maybe far side post low or even try to whip off the ice and take a bounce shot. Really take advantage of the unique skill you know? Get creative with it. Once it is on the blade everyone expects top near side corner. Some people call it the "lacrosse goal" maybe add dash more lacrosse in there and mix it up if possible

I couldn't agree more. Part of making the save is for the goalie to cheat a bit and instinctively block the top corner.
Go low and put it in the goalie's pads. Either it is a goal, or worst case scenario there will be a loose puck in the crease with the goalie recovering.

theres a video of michkov practicing michigans on a goalie and as soon as the goalie moves to cover the far post he does a quick cut back and comes back out the open side where the net is wide open and the goalies still looking for him on the other side lol

I had the same physiological reaction to this as Jim Jackson has had to any big hit by Hagg or Risto
I think he'll try various tricks as he gets more comfortable in the league. This is from MHL 2022, final series
Game 2
Game 6, also cup-winner
The crazy thing about this stat, is his number should go up, and he should have a lot more games, since he doesn't turn 20 for a year.

"In the KHL, there's lots of looping and swinging, and speed. I already know a couple of things that we're going to have to work on with Michkov to get him ready to play the North American style of game" - Armstrong

Riley Armstrong — Flyers Director of Player Development.
Not related to Doug. Brother of Colby though. And with 2 NHL games to his name, he can impart a lot of knowledge to Michkov about playing slow and in straight lines.

I think he's so skilled that he might be immune.
