RW Matvei Michkov (2023, 7th, PHI) Part 4

[MNRube]

Keep him at wing and let him just focus on creating offense. He’s special

 

[FlyguyOX]

They have him at PP2 apparently. Classic KHL.

 

[barriers]

 

[Kcoyote3]

Not going to lie, Michkov is a star in the making.

 

[HeadLiceHatty]

Every time he touches the puck its just like holy shit lol, something happens, this is the most talented player the Flyers have drafted since Lindros.

 

[Guadana]

hes not doing fancy individual stuff, just playing really good hockey, using his teammates, slowing things down.

He just intimidated them in the locker room.

Every time he touches the puck its just like holy sht lol, something happens

All euro talents have left khl, it`s a weak competition to play against, bad development environment. Let's not overestimate the potential burning of disappointed haters. At least we'll try.

 

[26Mats]

I'm a Habs fan. But I'm now a Flyers fan also. Rooting for this kid and the team that develops him.

 

[tnfrs]

He just intimidated them in the locker room.

he is a pretty big gorilla isnt he

Yeah, I'm going to need this in English brother, I don't understand what you're saying

 

[Guadana]

he is a pretty big gorilla isnt he

Small bulky gorilla.

 

[Redpath]

Did he play center and take faceoffs the whole game? Or was the lineup adjusted mid-game?

 

[Kshahdoo]

He played 2C in the game.

 

[HeadLiceHatty]

Kid has incredible puck skills and hockey sense, I wouldn't be shocked if he ends up a centre.

SKA coach says playing center has been Michkov's dream, and he looks very good so far so they will keep using him as a center.

 

[Fantomas]

Russian player: "playing center is my dream"

Russian coaches: "no, no, to wing you go, need more wing"

 

[Dirtyf1ghter]

Since Malkin, except Kuznetsov, no high-level Russian center among the 1987 generations until 2005. Aberrant.

 

[Guadana]

So only evil Rotenberg is trying to play talented prospect as center.

The Swedish posters really overrate their impact on the overall quality of the KHL, lol. It's always been primarily a Russian league, with the next group of best players being Canadian. Swedes account for 3.2 % of games played historically and 5.7 % of games played before the invasion. The league did not fall apart because Lucas Wallmark is not there. The KHL is not in its peak form but it has not been for a while, outside of a small blip for the 2018 Olympics. The Finns (Jokerit in particular) are a bigger loss, but those players didn't go to the SHL. Even Swedes don't play much in the SHL. They all bolt for North America as quickly as possible and they're also scattered throughout various European leagues. Many of the best Swedish Euro Pros are in Switzerland now because they can make more money than in Sweden. There are so many Swedish guys in the AHL hoping to just a call up and they tend to stick around until running up against the veteran player limit.

Lots of Swedish posters that have way too high of an opinion of their domestic league. It's all besides the point anyway, the best league won't determine how good of a player Michkov becomes. He's a young and developing player that looks extremely promising every time he steps on the ice.

Since Malkin, except Kuznetsov, no high-level Russian center among the 1987 generations until 2005. Aberrant.

Yes, it'll be an issue if there is a best on best competition and Russia is included because even their best centers are not good at faceoffs.

You might want to check the scorers of several last years, TOP 100 and Top 50 and Top 30 are all dominated by foreign players

As for SHL, it is the best league in Europe when it comes to an average player. Best teams are still in KHL, due to the nature of that league, where there is little parity

Ps last two olympics are irrelevant

Khusnutdinov

No.

Err... you may want to rephrase that...

You're clueless, in 2021-22 before the "exodus" 5 of the top 10 scorers were Russian, 1 was Canadian (they didn't leave, numbers increased), 1 was Kazakh (they didn't leave), 1 was Finnish, 1 was Czech.. the highest any Swede finished in scoring was 39th.

You've already been embarrassed and unable to refute with your "best average" comment earlier, so need to go back at it again, but repeating it won't suddenly make it true.

 

[Garl]

So, did Michkov dominate the game?

Where have I said anything about Top 10? I said Top 30, Top 50 and Top 100.

Now, just because you post smth about "embarrasment" doesn't make it true.
Position is clear, KHL is oversized with 20 russian teams. SHL has just 14. That is the main but not the only reason why what I have said about average players true.
A very good example of that is the roster comparsion between Leksand and Vityaz. A very good example of my point.

 

[Garl]

Ahahaha, he played at center LMAO Rotenberg))

Hopefuly it was a one time experiment, but the post game comments from Rotenberg should make flyers fans worry
