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

[RayMartyniukTotems]

No, I just watch closer than you do and think for myself instead of conforming to consensus like a sheep


If I may think as a free individual instead of being a sheep, consider this breakaway attempt by Michkov. This is a regular occurrence for him, this is just the most recent example I can remember

1) telegraphs the shot, no deception
2) shot velocity is poor / release is not that quick
3) shoots right into the glove lol

When they play MIchkov on his Natural side RWing he'll be fine...one or two of Brink,Foester,Tippett have to go to LWing or trademart,Konecny is their Star right now so he's safe

Foerster was benched in yesterday's game and it looks like tonight it will be Brink that won't play

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

They should trade him while he still has value

Just like Montreal Canadiens should've traded Maurice Rocket Richard after he came back from his broken ankle...you don't trade Stars or budding Stars

Foerster was benched in yesterday's game and it looks like tonight it will be Brink that won't play

Someone has to go and for Foester they will get a decent return I think

Not sure about that, they can't score to save their lives and Foerster can at least snipe every now and then.

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

Arizona isn't going to regret not wasting a draft pick on a kid that wouldnt answer their phone calls.

At the time Arizona was a Shit-Show and now that they're in Utah they at least have the potential to be a good/great franchise..Arizona has/had been Shit for too too long

Not sure about that, they can't score to save their lives and Foerster can at least snipe every now and then.

Then its going to be Tippett and little Brink

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

Is there any concern with Bedard shooting after his injury ? He’s got 2 goals in his last 21 games, that’s a very low number for a sniper like him

He's gotten a bit predictable in my viewings, with a lot of shots coming from the outside on 1v2 rushes.

Hard to beat NHL goalies like that, even with Bedard's wicked wrister.

 

[EdmFlyersfan]

Flyers are miserable to watch right now. Every player handles Michkov’s passes like a grenade

Most of the forwards right now can't even accept a decent hard pass, the puck is always fumbling off their stick...it's like they are in Pee-wee.

 

[Andy Dufresne]

the top dog already.

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.

How did the meeting go for Ovechkin with his idol?

1-0 Ovie, rematch is tonight

 

[TheKrebsCycle]

Michkov hits the score sheet once again .

Michkov hits the score sheet once again .

Nice primary on the PP. Delayed from the center point and drew two Caps away from Konecny. Looked off the whole time to keep everyone guessing. Can only imagine what he'll be doing to these PK'ers when he's in his prime.

Or has better finishers

1g, 1a tonight

Wait but I heard he sucks lmaoo. The teenager strikes again.

 

[TheKrebsCycle]

Ppg now

 

[Kcoyote3]

Yeah this kid won't last here. He looked terrible in his first game. I can see why he didnt go top five. I f***ing knew he was getting overrated because he's Russian . Again production in the KHL/MHL means nothing .

lol wrong in like 2 weeks tops

11 days. Nailed it.

 

[Fantomas]

Bedard's 1 goal in 7 games obviously insurmountable for Michkov. He'll never be that good!

 

[ViD]

starting from the second period it’s been his best game this season, dominating performance

Look at the Demidov board Lmaoo, he’s generational, I would bet every dollar I own he’s not even close to ppg in the NHL next year, Michkov is literally different. And I do think Demidov is a first line player during his prime. I really can’t wait for the Bedard / Michkov war when both have top tier teams, if it happens.

Love Demidov who will be a star but some Habs fans drooling because of a game against Kunlun. Very silly people.

I honestly love Demidov’s game too. I think he shoulda went 2 most likely, it’s wild how a certain fanbase makes prospects you like nearly unlikable.

No one said this.

Self awareness off the charts here

An obvious exaggeration, but scroll back a couple hundred pages you’ll find some real treats.
