You was wrong, your team was wrong. It’s okay to admit mistakes, especially when they are so huge.Lmao that’s great coming from you. I’ve got nothing to cope for. My team didn’t take Michkov, and I didn’t want them to take him before the draft. Can’t speak for all Habs fans, but that’s the reality for me. The fanboys really took offense to that for some reason. Whether that’s right or wrong remains to be seen, but he’s looking like pretty much exactly what I expected, and why I didn’t want him, i.e., a good offensive winger with some serious flaws and deficiencies in his game. Keep revelling in those powerplay points though.

He’s among the biggest blind Hab followers on the site . Double and tripling down

MM now a plus four this game. Is this his first game with Coutorier and Koneckny? That line is fantastic!

How many goals and points would he have to score this season for Kent Hughes and Jeff Gorton to be forced to resign in shame?
I don't even see who everyone's responding to, why give them a platform, let em type to themselves, their opinion is clueless trash out of complete desperation.

M-M-M-Matvei and the Jett
Yep. Torts hates logic, so he decided to try the captain at 4LW, a position I don't think he's ever played, before considering having him center Michkov.
MM very much the straw that stirred the drink today, even when he was ending up with tertiary assists because of additional tips and things like that. Hell of a game for everyone, but a lot of that doesn't happen without Matvei.

It’s been a blender . He’s looked good w Frost too , problem being he’s weak on draws . Konecny is a really underrated player. Main guy that isn’t meshing w him is Tippet . The hockey iq difference is astounding

Tomorrow is the big game. I will be glued to my TV.
What are the chances RDS and TSN decide it wouldn't be a good look to air the Habs funeral game tomorrow?

Oh yeah, without a doubt, wouldn't of been shocking if he had 5-6 points this game, just a couple extra tips made it not so, he was making the plays that setup most of what happened. Konecny had a hell of a game too.

Looks like Michkov also repaired his plus minus with +4 tonight

Man, those 2 points really don't tell the whole story of Michkov's game, he basically started nearly all of the Flyers attacks that ended up with goals.
Not to overhype the kid, but he looked better than Kaprizov today (the same Kaprizov who is leading the league in points rn). If this line with Couturier and Konecny is half as good as this game teases, we're going to see some fireworks.

You seem mistaken. I never liked the Reinbacher pick either; hated it the moment it was announced. That has nothing to do with my opinions on Michkov, so I’m not sure what you’re trying to prove.
If/when it happens, we can have the “generational” conversation about Michkov, like I said.
I feel sorry for Michkov because Philly is a dead team. Their prospect pool really sucks. it's not SJ or Anaheim or even Chicago. They need at least top 3 pick in the next couple of years, ideally win the lottery in 2026
Lol, we’re 9 games in; we’ll see. It may well have been a mistake (passing on Michkov). Obviously I’ve been wrong before, not a big deal. But my point is that my opinions and views on him have nothing to do with the Habs passing on him, like the fanboys in here keep trying to suggest. Like I said, I do think the Reinbacher pick was a mistake, and have since it was made.
Remind what would your pick have been then? If it's not Michkov and not Reinbacher.
Honestly it’s the first game that I see players some what adapting to his IQ. Other games he seemed to be processing at pace that they weren’t used to
He's going to say Leonard....
I can sense our friend is starting to see the light

He’s only 19. If he’s as good as all of us think, they’ll be able to trade for or sign or maybe draft a few stars to play with him, and provide the needed support to make sure it’s not only him.
They could’ve made it easier, but the hardest part is acquiring the best talents in the world. Every team in the league wants them, and very few exist. Much easier to acquire the less good players.

Wasn’t Washington the same when they drafted Ovie, they had Syomin, then drafted Backstrom, Green etc
Wanted Leonard, primarily. Would that have been a mistake? Maybe, but it’s too early to say. The rationale was/is that the Habs have a ton of small scoring wingers in the system already. Leonard is a strong, fast two-way winger with elite offensive skill who plays a hard-nosed game and thrives in the dirty areas, down low and along the boards, and crashes the net. All shit that Michkov does not, and will likely never bring to the table.
I’m sure after this Draft and the next we will be singing a different tune about Philly’s prospect pool
