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

[deejb]

Powerplay merchant

Also, perimeter player. Anyway, it's Edmonton, so doesn't count.

Passing of the torch game. People will remember the day Michkov faced McJ in their first meeting, scored his first two goals, and overshadowed him in his own building.

the game isn't over yet, but edmonton hasn't looked good so far

He was bad last year defensively; my point was if Michkov struggles their similarly I don’t see Torts looking past in the same manner ..ie benching or curb minutes / deployment etc. That didn’t happen with Bedard ; kept on trotting him out like a show poney . Bedard is awesome im simply suggesting the situations aren’t super similar.

Michkov w number 2

No the situations aren't similar at all and this isn't the thread for it either.

Edmonton is struggling rn, they’ll make the playoffs regardless it’s impossible they have too much talent

 

[Turin]

WELL WOULD YOU LOOK AT THAT HE'S GOOD AND HE'S IN NA

THANKS MTL ARIZONA SJ ANAHEIM FROM ALL PENS FANS

Passing the torch implies that you think that Michov is going tob e on a McDavid level this year which simply isn't happening.

Either you misspoke or.....?

I’m joking. Or am I?

 

[WarriorofTime]

I think pavel is making a callback to a comment during a pens flyers series about Giroux.

 

[CristianoRonaldo]

Not too shabby for a guy with a bad Hockey IQ.

The guy who said that must be projecting... You can't watch Michkov and conclude that he has a bad hockey IQ.

I’m convinced you must not know what passing of the torch means. It does NOT mean outplaying McDavid in one period…possibly one game.

It’s been all down hill for Mcdavid since blowing his chance at a cup.

Hail to the new king of the nhl michkov

 

[Michael Farkas]

That second goal is exactly it. A laser at a low angle. All the "he's just an unassuming small slowpoke without much skill" is nonsense. Excellent hands, excellent shot, willing to shoot from anywhere. He's next level because of those traits.

 

[Kshahdoo]

PP Michkov they call him...

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

STUD

 

[Fantomas]

The thread has moved on to the barganing stage of depression after putting so many unrelistic expectations and pressure on this kid. Preseason and Russian hockey are totally different thatn what he is experiencing now.

In his defense, not being able to play against the best of his peers has hurt his development. I sitll think sometime in the AHL would do him so good.

LMAO

Sorry for your loss

 

[wetcoast]

Checks Michkov's height and yes you are joking.......

 

[ViD]

Michkov winning a lot of board battles at 19 is crazy impressive

But your review didn't speak of him in godly terms so the usual suspects will never forget.......

 

[Fantomas]

Just drew a penalty. This guy is already one of the best in the world. It's obvious.

Unreal would of had a hat trick maybe if they didn’t grab him lol

 

[Hockeypete49]

The kid goes into the dirty areas to make a play, he always hustles. He is not slight by any means and will mix it up and draw penalties. Dam good hockey player and only 19!

 

[MNRube]

Agreed. Wish his linemates would defer to him more often. He should have the puck on his stick more often but that will come with time.

 

[ozzie]

Well that's more like it, continue to prove me wrong kid. It's easy to kid and say he's a PP Merchant or it's only the lowly Oilers. Both could be true, but MM has had a very solid game. He will continue to draw penalities with his feet.

Empty net hat trick goal incoming?

Nope no empty net - just an Oilers comeback win. Led by…McDavid with the assists to tie and then win it.
