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

[TheKrebsCycle]

Not reading that wall of broken English. Anything less than being full on in the Michkov-generational-circlejerk on here and you’re labeled a hater. Ridiculous.

Not everyone’s first language is English . Making light of this is pretty low brow; even for you. Why are you in here if you’re only breeding negativity ?

 

[dendazen]

Not to the degree that Leonard does, no. Like I said, MTL already has players that play the same style as Michkov in the system, and none like Leonard. That was the point.


Should probably delete this post; it’s against site rules.

There is no single player at MTL who plays like Michkov, wtf are you talking about? Not even close.

 

[FlyguyOX]

I wonder when he hits a rookie wall. Being over PPG on this specific team so far in the season is beyond impressive

Michkov is exactly the elite skill the Habs need. Imagine him with Suzuki and Caufield. Caufield would likely score 50 with Michkov feeding him.

Did I say “exactly the same as Michkov”? No, I did not. I said “similar to” and “same style”, meaning small scoring wingers, of which MTL has plenty in the system. And keep in mind, I was describing my rationale at the time of the draft there. The fact that none of them are as good as Michkov is another matter entirely. Again, we’re 8 games into Michkov’s career; we’ll see what happens.

Who on MTL or in their system plays even remotely like Leonard? And don’t even say Slafkovsky lmao they play very different styles.

To be fair to him western hockey media and scouts downplayed his IQ quite a bit. Honestly the western hockey world downplayed the kid in general

 

[Garbageyuk]

lol the irony here . Project much ? I’ve said plenty positive about Demidov and Hutson . Savard is really the only Hab that has received “ hate “ and his derision predated his employment on the Habs …. So swing and a miss again .

Lmao, since the season started. That’s called backpedaling, and it’s embarrassing. I saw all your posts over the summer, as did everyone else.

 

[Garbageyuk]

I don’t understand the contrarian takes against michkov. It’s been like 30 years since we’ve had a potential bonafide superstar on this team, just let us have this lol

The absolute disrespect to Giroux lmao. The G man deserves better

Suzuki and Caufield doesn’t need a Michkov. They need a Slafkovski. A Dach and a Laine would benefit from a Michkov but then again would probably be a better with Demidov

 

[SlobKnox]

Suzuki and Caufield doesn’t need a Michkov. They need a Slafkovski. A Dach and a Laine would benefit from a Michkov but then again would probably be a better with Demidov

Every single one of them would be better with Michkov

 

[Frank Drebin]

Just own it boys
Habs brass tried to be the smartest in the room 2 years in a row
Thought they had legitimate reasons to pass on mm but apparently no
Not the first draft fk up we’ve seen won’t be the last

Habs are instantly a competitive team with Michkov.

 

[Sombastate]

Guy is just damn good at hockey and its fun to watch

 

[MNRube]

Utterly delusional. Michkov will be more impactful than all of those guys.

Saying a prospect is better than another one for logical reasons is hardly hate mongering . I like Demidov a lot just prefer Michkov. But it sure ruffled many feathers at the perceived slight . Embarrassing how ? Everything I’ve said has been backed up by his performance to date. If anyone should be embarrassed it’s Habs fan and there wild goose chases to discredit him .,,to desperately save face in the eye of a collosal miss. What point of contention did I backpedal on ?

 

[bennysflyers16]

I never could have dreamed he would be this good already, it’s insane how good he is.

 

[SlobKnox]

G was most definitely a star player not a super star player

 

[Sombastate]

After what we've had to sit through for the better part of a decade, this feels deserved

 

[Hockeypete49]

Danny would definitely keep Michkov

Not even a question. I haven't been this excited about a player since 88 came here. This kid's vision and hockey IQ are off the charts. I was pulling for the Flyers to draft Leonard. Not anymore.

 

[Yasuo]

Slaf-Suzuki-Caufield/ Demidov-Dach-Michkov and Laine 3rd line with pp time. You dont pass up on a talent like Michkov. Now thats it has already happenned lets just hope Reinbacher reach his ceilling. But no need to act like the team will be better without a potential 100+ points player like Michkov its ridiculous.

To be fair noone dreamed he’d drop that far but the contract / Russian factor seemingly played a huge role

 

[Vinh]

He's getting a feel for that wrister through traffic from the middle. Scored vs. the Caps on a similar look (albeit on the PP). Sneaky weapon.

He, Konecny and Couturier were cooking today. Interesting mix of skill sets.

 

[Jamaican Patty]

Wow, I never realized how small Michkov is. Dude looks tiny af on the ice.

 

[PDX Flyer]

It was meant as a jab towards the handful of bitter Habs fan who pollute this thread. And to illustrate how good Michkov is relative to other recent high draft picks. Purely a hypothetical

Sorry didn’t catch on to that. I normally don’t veer onto the main boards. I’m just glad the Flyers finally have something h special and hope they don’t mess it up!

Don’t feed the trolls on the one beacon of hope that we have!

Thank you . Respect .

He’s nearly 200 pounds ( 192 I believe ) ; try again
