RW Matvei Michkov (2023, 7th, PHI) Part 6

[Rebels57]

No that was the draft before - The one they selected Reinbacher with

Ahhh ok. Thanks.

 

[Rebels57]

Kind of funny that after his 1st month his weirdo detractors were calling him a Powerplay merchant.

He finished with 18 ES goals and 28 ES Assists, so just 17 of his 63 points came on the PP.

Compare that with Celebrini who had 22 of his 63 points on the PP and Hutson with 26 of his 66 points on the PP.

Michkov finished as the rookie leader in ES points with 46.

End of season stats:

Bedard: 23+44=67 points in 82 games
Michkov: 26+37=63 points in 80 games
Fantilli: 31+23=54 points in 82 games
Carlsson: 20+25=45 points in 76 games
Smith: 18+27=45 points in 74 games

I have the same beanie, LFG Matvei. Next year will be a breakout year for him on a serious note, kid has that dawg in him.

 

[Nabrules]

This kid is going to be a top 10 player in the league during his prime, and as a Flyers fan, I absolutely can't believe he's ours.

I get why some casuals don't think he's as good as people say. Not the biggest, or fastest, doesn't have the dynamic playstyle of a Demidov but I genuinely believe he has the best offensive IQ and vision since Crosby. Always a step or 2 ahead of everyone, including his teammates.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Not a Flyers fan, but this is must watch for me as a Michkov fan.

That's the kind of excitement he generates. I love how blunt his answers are and his desire to improve he showcased in those answers. Sounds like the Flyers next captain once he can speak English.

[The Last Red]

Supposedly the Flyers were trying to trade Gauthier to Montreal for their pick to select Demidov. Montreal was smart to pass.

No, they tried to do that at the ‘23 draft for the Habs 5OA pick that year. Nothing to do with Demidov.

 

[Star Platinum]

Even if he's being diplomatic here, it shows great maturity to answer these questions as he did.

 

[JRichard]

No, they tried to do that at the ‘23 draft for the Habs 5OA pick that year. Nothing to do with Demidov.

True and in here Habs fans were claiming « sources » had Philly trading 7th, Gauthier and Foerster to land Michkov at 5. Ended up for free at 7. Was hell on Earth in here in Habs forum. Great read.

Next day Habs PR made sure narrative shifted to MM not wanting to play in Mtl.

 

[FlyguyOX]

Stop Matvei!! Hfboards have their narratives they don’t want to let go of!!

Nice comment by Michkov, Habs fans will surely love this video lol. It is crazy how they coulda had this guy

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

He’s not going to win it because of Torts. Didn’t play enough, minutes per game and games and PP minutes.

Celebrini and Hutson had less restrictions. They’re all great players, but I think when all is said and done and Torts isn’t his coach every season that he’ll be the best player of the three.

Why would Habs fans like that video? Guy needs to speak english! lol

Glad we have Demidov instead!

He's not gonna win it because of Lane Hutson.

Becuase he said something nice about Hutson, weird comment. Michkov will still end up the superior player. Demidov is fine though.

I think Michkov will end up the most one-dimensional player out of all the Calder candidates. But the Flyers need someone who can provide offense as the rest of the team is an offensive desert.

Didnt they score a whopping 7 less goals than your team?

That's a good point. Flyers need to learn to play some defense. Which is why Torts was trying to make Michkov a complete player.... and failed.

He does have significant growth in the area, as most young guys do. Torts was obviously trying to get kids to buy into that, my point just had more to do with the offensive dessert comment. They were no juggernaut but probably scored more than some people realize

To me, an offensive dessert is a pumpkin pie. That's not a dessert.
