RW Matvei Michkov - HC Sochi, KHL (2023, 7th, PHI) Part 4

[FlyguyOX]

They are facing the angry Oilers that certainly don’t want to go 0-4. Will be a tough game for the Flyers

Flyers have the worst schedule to start the year, but for the players and fans.

Its awful.

Even our first home game comes on a Saturday night after we play IN Seattle Thursday night.

Absolutely horrendous schedule to start the season. I can't even be mad at the NHL because supposedly the Flyers requested to start the season with this Western Canada trip. Sucks for the players and Flyers fans (first 4 games all start at 10 PM Eastern).

Stud, going to be a superstar.

Oil don’t play defense, regardless. McDrai might combine for 9 points tonight, but they’ll still give up 4.

Depends who is in net for the flyers. If it's Ersson then I doubt McDavid goes nuts. Never say never, but less likely.

 

[TheKrebsCycle]

He's bound to contribute more at some point, as he's getting moren engaged in the play and comfortable with his teammates. TOI showed Torts isn't afraid of using him and keeping his promises so far.

At some point ? It’s been 2 games , 1 of which he’s got a point lol …

 

[TheKrebsCycle]

Sure but Michov is almost a year older and Bedard was doing that last year this year they aren't close and Michov will always be older.

I think he will be a very good player BTW but not generational like he was looking at the U17s back in the day or whatever tournament that was.

Bedard is an incredible talent but played w absolutely no structure / boat loads of ice time w zero consequence for defensive deficiencies .

 

[jj cale]

Might be his first coming here but it's in dispute.

First of 1000

Not pretty but they all count the same …

 

[FinlandPanther]

Skinner is so bad lmao. But man this kid is going to score ALOT of goals.

 

[antman12]

Not pretty but I suspect a lot more similar greasy goals in his future.

Wonder if he understood the ref when he was announcing it was a good goal. Lol.

We are talkng about Bedard and Michkov and you are bringing up defense....um okay.

 

[HeadLiceHatty]

The most Michkov goal ever is his first goal lol, right place right time off a board bounce, almost like like seen him do this before.

 

[antman12]

LFG

 

[Redpath]

Just scored #2.

[MNRube]

LOL so it begins

 

[HeadLiceHatty]

Gonna need those Michkov haters in here now please? 2 goals in 10 mins, can’t shoot can’t score right? Both signature goals, this is what he does lmaoo

[jj cale]

wowzera.

This kid get;s it done differently eh?

His game is pretty interesting to watch. He;s a winner too..I can see it in his eyes.

 

[WarriorofTime]

Not too shabby for a guy with a bad Hockey IQ.

 

[TheKrebsCycle]

We are talkng about Bedard and Michkov and you are bringing up defense....um okay.

He was bad last year defensively; my point was if Michkov struggles their similarly I don’t see Torts looking past in the same manner ..ie benching or curb minutes / deployment etc. That didn’t happen with Bedard ; kept on trotting him out like a show poney . Bedard is awesome im simply suggesting the situations aren’t super similar.

Michkov w number 2
