As previously stated , he’s their second best guy in xGF/60 and was third best in scoring. Unless, his teammates are sabotaging him, there is no way he’s the reason they played worse
he doesn't play defense and soft as butter. also the flyers is a crappy close-knit hardworking group, michkov is like an unicorn among them that's why a bit of anymosity from them is understandable and that's another reason they have another gear when michkov is scratched

That's nice and all but without players as MM the said crappy close-knit hardworking group will never succeed. Coach/management should be smart enough to figure out how to mix the supposedly (haven't checked advanced stats) shitty-defensively MM w the what some people seem to praise as second coming of Broad Street Bullies, judging from some comments.

You can see how talented he is by watching but he has a lot of areas he needs to work on.

His defensive game is awful and he forces a lot of low chance plays that lead to turnovers.

I’m surprised Torts didn’t healthy scratch him earlier.

Michkov > Bedard
At this point I wouldn't make that claim as I've only seen Michkov play in the KHL and Bedard in the NHL so lets wait a year or three for that...at this stage just enjoy how talented and skilled they are and hope their respective teams can build some semblance of talent and skill around them to better showcase them...cheers

Multipoint game, primary op assist, ev strength breakaway goal hmm. Celebrini mostly invisible so far, should he go to the minors too? I like Celebrini btw, I think he’s ultra talented, just f***ing around with the idiots in this thread that I have blocked 🤣😂
Coming from the guy who think Hutson should go to the minors hein....:sarcasm:

Keep the thread about Michkov. I’m flattered you follow me around in threads and remember me, pretty neat.

Poehling made an unreal stetch pass on the breakaway goal though .
I think most NHL players can make that pass, wasn’t that insane lol, but a good pass for sure

I didn’t say it was insane but it was a good pass . Thought it was worth mentioning as you’d made light of his linemates.

Ryan Poehling is a 4th line center maybe an 3rd line tweener and Richard isn’t in the NHL on any decent roster, I’m confused what you mean.
I just mean it was a nice pass . That is all . You’d intimated that his line mates are terrible . Maybe they are but in this instance it was a well executed play . He’s succeeding despite his deployment; I understand your general point perfectly
