@FogborneHeir I don’t think you have much kinship with anyone

[John Smith @JohnSmithet7rm]

I’m confused as to how that has anything to do with whether players like him. Mike Babcock coached Canada for years and multiple former players think he’s one of the worst people alive.

[Anthony Di Marco @ADiMarco25]

Most players like to play for Rick Tocchet, yes.

There's a reason why he was an assitant coach for Team Canada in back to back international, best on best tournaments.

[John Smith @JohnSmithet7rm]

@Anth_Chatburn Well, since team results are what matters, they took the best team in the league to overtime and Michkov set up the game tying goal. I’d say if they had played like that they would almost certainly be much higher in the standings. Was it a coincidence MM got top line minutes?

@davielfc2 Is there anything you guys won’t fall for

[John Smith @JohnSmithet7rm]

@OneTradeClsr2aM @slowweeknd Also if that little peahead of yours worked, you’d immediately notice that the Preston purdy your ai claims is unaffiliated is 15 years younger than the guy who was arrested. You dumb fuck.

[John Smith @JohnSmithet7rm]

@OneTradeClsr2aM @slowweeknd Right, so instead of putting 1 and 1 together and coming to the reasonable conclusion that the trans hating skinhead looking guy might be right wing, you ask an ai bot that would have 0 actual information on the subject, which obviously states it doesn’t know. Good enough for you

@OneTradeClsr2aM @slowweeknd Using grok over common sense is hilariously on brand

[John Smith @JohnSmithet7rm]

@OneTradeClsr2aM @slowweeknd He’s a right winger you dumb fuck

[John Smith @JohnSmithet7rm]

@AmericanIpa8 @phillyguy223 @Anth_Chatburn Well no, actually, Michkov is one of the few players on the team who is out there when our net is empty regularly.

[John Smith @JohnSmithet7rm]

@JimIkeHW Just educating your dumb ass

[John Smith @JohnSmithet7rm]

@between2pipes I’m a bit confused as to how getting into a private argument with a player on the bench is the same thing as making a public statement about them. Perhaps you can explain that

[John Smith @JohnSmithet7rm]

What’s funny about this is that Michkov has literally never said anything bad about anyone publicly. It’s entirely the opposite. He smiles and acts professional while his teammates and coach make asses of themselves.

[between2Pipes @between2pipes]

Canucks fans “JT Miller destroyed the locker room and the organization”..

Also Canucks fans.. “trade anything to get Michkov!!!”

This kid called out his coach publicly and screams at his teammates on the bench.. remind you of anyone?

[John Smith @JohnSmithet7rm]

@between2pipes @ThomasD30630662 And he did this when?

[John Smith @JohnSmithet7rm]

@JimIkeHW Well the actual reason he fell off, to the point where people questioned if he would even go in the first round, was because this little thing called a war broke out during his draft year and it was largely believed he wouldn’t be coming to America for years if at all.

[John Smith @JohnSmithet7rm]

What’s funny is that if you google this totally real “quote” from one of the top hockey reporters in the business, the only result is this dogshit article. This is what we call libel, kids.

[John Smith @JohnSmithet7rm]

Reading this article I immediately clocked a massive lie. The interview subject falsely claims that elliotte Friedman stated teams couldn’t interview Michkov in 2023 because he was “so arrogant and egotistical”. This is made up.

[John Smith @JohnSmithet7rm]

As a result he could not leave the country freely and was kept on a very short leash despite openly wanting to go to North America. His participation in the pre-draft process was therefore minimal.

[Daily Faceoff @DailyFaceoff]

Matvei Michkov’s ego playing a bigger role in drama than some might think https://t.co/2NKFtXW65l

[John Smith @JohnSmithet7rm]

The actual reason teams had trouble meeting with him is because he was landlocked in Russia. A country that had largely barred entry due to the war that they started less than a year prior, and Michkov was under contract to stay there for the next several years.
