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

[MNRube]

He's tried that play a lot of times without it working. Happened to work this time. Not a big fan of this player, he has a few tricks and knows where to go, but the skill and dynamic ability are not there to be a star that some think he can be. Not sure if he ever gets there. He's been getting points but he's not getting them in a way that translates into sustained success.

^^ someone call the medical board and report doctor benton, he’s drunk again.

How the heck Tippett gets away with everything? The guy is completely useless given the ice time he gets

Its Torts. He's the most well known "plays favorites" coach in the league.

yeah if only every prospect came in 6'3 230 pounds

Ovechkin is 6'1, maybe 6'1'5 at best.

Listed at 6 3 ; that would be quite the exaggeration. Not saying you’re wrong but Ovi is a big man .

I'm starting to see why Matvei fanbois are so sensitive. Poor guy is criticized for a play on which he scored. I guarantee you he saw an opening. That's what special players do.

You can't only look at the results to evaluate whether a play was good or bad. You can make a bad play and get rewarded, and you can make a great play and get punished for it.

You can believe what you want, but in 3on3, I don't think that that's a good play. It's great that it worked out, but when you play the percentages long-term, taking low% shots and giving away possession in 3on3 is not a play with a positive expectation.

Also, not a single player can aim their shots accurately enough to consistently take advantage of such openings, whether they see them or not. Of course, you'll see all the highlights where they worked, but you won't see the highlights where they hit the goalie's crest or missed the net instead.

What was the quote. The more I shoot the luckier I get ? And from quite a well regarded hockey player. More needless derision from some who are quite horrified by the prospect of seeing a talented kid doing so well already confounding their expectations. Expectations not made with any logic but antipathy & phobias thrown in.

This is correct , both those guys are 191 cm, exactly same height

PS At this point BMann and the head lice problem guy will deny that water is wet if I will say it LOL

Malkin looks taller but it all depends how they are standing. OV could be slouching over or something

Kuznetsov is 6'2.

Kuznetsov is 6'2.

Orlov is 5'11
Kuznetsov is listed at 186 cm. (6'1) in wiki, and it looks correct judging by this photo
