Crosby? Orr? Howe? Ovechkin ?This.
There has only been 4 "generational prospects" so far as far as i'm concerned.
Gretzky
Lemieux
Lindros
McDavid

I'm not sensitive just because you think so. I think your takes are laughable, that's just all. You don't think Ovie is generational and therefor I won't mind anything you call me. But if I would be sensitive, what are you? The one who doesn't have the balls to answer another individual and then cry about it here? You call me sensitive and I call you what then? Stupid and a narcissist? If Ovie isn't generational then you aren't a human being. We can just create our own subjective lies as much as we all want. You seem to be the master of that.Yikes, someone's sensitive.
I have a higher bar for than you. I don't consider Ovechkin, Malkin, or Jagr to be "generational" players. As others have pointed out, its a highly subjective term, so I am not sure why you are so offended.
Going back to 40 years, there have been 4 forwards I consider generational:
Gretzky
Lemieux
Crosby
McDavid
Ovechkin doesn't make that list for me.
Well then either you're simply not watching or you don't comprehend what you're watching.Or maybe some people equate elite hands and other offensive traits with IQ?
I don't think that Michov has bad hockey IQ but I haven't seen elite IQ there so we will agree to disagree there.
Where there is no disagreement is that Michkov is going to be a PP monster.
I promise you, your definition of generational isn't normal.This.

Why? Because they make your statement look dumb?These kind of "stats" are useless.
What Reality are you living in?We’ve had the word “generational” rammed down our throats for 2 years by Russian fanboys and Habs haters. Reality has set in. You love to see it.
Bedard DEFINITELY had better linemates last year.This right here is the exact problem. No he's fuking not the 'top dog' already. Anytime someone points out basic neutral facts in this thread, or the last Michkov threads, they're labeled a 'hater'. I f***ing love Michkov, but no he's not the top dog (yet), and yes 2 of the players his khl stats compared mostly closely with were nhl busts.
I love watching this kid play, and he is the closest to being the next Kucherov, based on his game, not his nationality. He has to prove it. Shitting on a linemate who scored 55 goals in the last 2 years is not actually helping your case.
EDIT: Not you, that other guy who keeps shitting on Tippett, and pretending Bedard had better linemates last year.
I feel like he's best with Frost and Foersterhe looked more in tune on a line with couturier/konecny.....keep him away from Tippett, their games do not mesh.
+/- only means something when it's relative to the team. Flyers are a collective -14, Michkov was on the ice for 3 ENG already.-9 after 7 games... Still there are 4 players on the Flyers who are -10.
Wrong, he was on ice for 3 empty net goalsOnly -1 from that. Just look at 5v5 +/-.
The reality where he’s a good young player, but clearly not generational. Take the time to comprehend what you’re reading before replying next time.What Reality are you living in?
Michkov has had an excellent start
You should do this every time you state Michkov doesn't gave elite IQEvery time someone uses the term "generational", their computer should dump a bowl of piping hot gravy in their lap...
So...I have to dump the gravy...? Are you thinking out the logistics here, sir?You should do this every time you state Michkov doesn't gave elite IQ

-6 on a -14 team is pretty good.

“Am I a joke to you ?”Imagine passing on this guy for Reinbacher and whoever the hell it was Arizona drafted.

Fair enoughHe's actually -9 at Even Strength.
The Flyers have been outscored 10 to 1 with Michkov on the ice at even strength, and they are outscored 16 to 7 with him on the bench.
That will get better, so not a reflection on my expectations for Michkov. I'm just correcting you to say that it is in fact horrible and not pretty good.
Yes two more ENG against from last night. The Flyers also scored a 6 on 5 goal so Michkov (and that same group of teammates) are -2 with an empty net.
Yes, I want you to self harm until you learn.So...I have to dump the gravy...? Are you thinking out the logistics here, sir?
Bedard DEFINITELY had better linemates last year.
