RW Matvei Michkov (2023, 7th, PHI) Part 5

[ViD]

Hopefully I don’t jinx it, but I don’t recall any defensive blunders by him that led to goals against recently. I mean he’s +3 for a reason now

I was just looking at his stats cause I have him in my keeper league and he hasn't finished a single game with a minus since he was scratched for those two games a while back. I know +/- isn't the best metric but pretty telling that he's been even or plus in every game since.

Man, I can still hear the screeching from Philly fans when Torts sat Michkov.

Torts was right and it worked. Michkov is playing fantastic and smart hockey. Some warts, sure, but he has acclimated very well and quick.

It's actually primary, not sure why the NHL site says it's secondary. You should watch video.

Exactly. I was confused for a while as to where Brink touched the puck there

 

[Fantomas]

Primary assist, also hit the post on the PP.

Fantilli is invisible. Him over Michkov doesn't look very smart right now.

Sitting at point per game holy hell he really should have gone 1OA

Realistically, any of the 6 picks before Michkov don’t look too great

 

[Kcoyote3]

I was told he's KHL bound by Christmas so this feels wrong.

 

[FinlandPanther]

Every team that passed on this kid is kicking themselves.

Michkov seems to have adjusted to his new country and league. Didn’t take him very long either. Brilliant player.

 

[SomeDude]

To think he hasn't even gotten to feast on the Pens yet. He may put up 15 pts in those 4 games.

Wonder if he would have made the ASG along with TK had it been held this year.

Off topic but are they announcing would be allstar rosters? I would think players have bonuses tied to making that team.

He would make Russia best on best team for sure

Michkov passes this puck ever so slowly so that Frost can skate into it. A medium strength pass will not create that goal. Hockey sense, vision, and accurate passing rolled into one . Impressive stuff.
