“And habs fans in denial” 😭😭😭

[@lissapelletier6721]

Oh ya! I got a cousin from Montreal who says michkov will be a bust!, just because he wasn't drafted by the Habs 🤣🤣🤣,,,,can't wait to torchur him in the coming year 🧡🖤

[@mrbone009]

Philly needs him

[@christopherbird7086]

He'll probably be their captain at some point. 🤟He was a steal at 7

[@mr.fraitz3241]

Nice video man. Keep them up.

Hey! Quick question, do you know if Michkov and Gridin know each other? I don't think they've ever played together, but I was wondering if maybe they've trained together or something. I believe Gridin would be a great pick for PHI!

[@MedvedProspekt34]

I don't know for sure but it is highly unlikely as they grew up pretty far from each other. I am a huge fan of Gridin though so it would be awesome to watch those two play together. Gridin's playmaking and Michkov's shot would be a lethal combo.

Hi Medved, how do you explain the loans for two consecutives years and the release then? Also, in a spittin chicklet podcast, an ex Michkov teammate said very bad things about him as a teammate. Dont wanna use conspiracy but there is certainly smoke, I think time will tell, good job as usual.

[@MedvedProspekt34]

I think a lot of the old school Russian hockey mentality (especially SKA leadership) really values seniority and earning your spot. While a lot of people including myself believe that he has done more than he should have to in order to crack the lineup, he has still not been given a real chance. Rotenberg prefers to run his team based on those principles which have hurt his team. I'm not sure why he acts that way but he at least gave guys like Michkov and Khustnudinov the opportunity to get real minutes in Sochi rather than waste their talents sitting in the press box. Which interview are you talking about? I'm not sure I've seen it and i'm curious to hear what he said.

@@MedvedProspekt34 Marat did got some good ice time with the SKA, but Michkov never. Episode 451 6th july 2023, start around 33th minutes, and those guys are plugged.

[@tonybleau6219]

​@@genestdaniel9882 BS. His coaches and teammates love him in Russia.

[@tonybleau6219]

​​@@MedvedProspekt34 The reports came from Martin Lemay, a bullshitting sports columnist that works for Montreal media. There's no credence to his claims whatsoever.

[@MedvedProspekt34]

It is strange that Rotenberg gave Marat ice time in 2022-23 but not this season. Not sure what to make of that really. I had never seen that chiclets segment before. Hopefully it's exaggerated and there are no problems when he comes to philly.

[@Kshahdoo67]

One thing you forgot to mention, though. Rotenberg didn't invite Michkov to U25 Team Russia this season, and Michkov 100% wanted to play for it. And of course both will never admit, that there is bad blood between them.

[@MedvedProspekt34]

Fair point. There’s definitely something strange going on between them. Matvei is clearly good enough to play for SKA and if Rotenberg can’t see that, then he is a terrible manager. I just don’t think he is attempting to sabotage his career like many claim. Even if he doesn’t come early I don’t believe that he will be blocked from leaving at the end of his deal. At the end of the day I have no clue and could be wrong but just about every top player that has been drafted has come to the NHL much quicker than people claim.

[@qwe5279]

@@MedvedProspekt34do not even try to understand rotenberg. This whole situation with him being manager is an absolute joke

[@lpdoogles5485]

Sochi is were his father died, it literaly gives him anxiety and depression, thats the reason he dosen’t want to be sent down there

F the Michigan

[@unchainedabomination7228]

I completely forgot about this guy

[@jamiemckendry8035]

The Michigan goal is dumb...

S K A not ska. Ska is an annoying music genre.

[@Kshahdoo67]

Nah, it's exactly how people call the team in Russia. Not S K A, but Ska.
