Story of this game is Fedotov is establishing himself as an NHL goalie. Being 6'7, it will not be pretty at times. Just playing big will get the job done most times. 2 weeks ago, guy looked destined to go back to the KHL after the season. Now there is at least hope.

Some of the goals he gave up were questionable.

I'm asking a serious question; I do not see anything special. What makes him so great? He seems very slow and gets moved off the puck quite easily. I was expecting Panarin-lite or someone who stick handles like Necas the other night. I'm ready to be enlightened. What am I missing? Please no sarcasm. I have 3 daughters and get enough of that in my daily life...

Hockey sense, hands, vision and execution. Those are his hallmarks. His game is subtle, calculated and effective. He's a chess master, not a flashy show boater.

Like on that GWG... he knew with the puck on the goal line that Ullmark would drop down into the RVH as all Euro/Russian goalies do. And he knew EXACTLY where the hole would be, when it would open up, and he had the precision to put the shot EXACTLY where it needed to go. Looks like a lucky goal but make no mistake... that was all calculated.

Dudes like Lindros and McDavid are easy to appreciate. Michkov is more of a Kucherov or Larionov.

He saw that Ullmark didn't have the fully covered so he put it on net

Exactly why the forsberg comparisons were dumb, he’s not a puck dominant player at all

"Very slow" that is trolling.🧌 Rag fans will say Panarin disappears when the tough gets going.

Really interesting that as soon as Bill left there were bans handed out to those outspoken against the organization.

Not a conspiracy theorist but the Flyers have boot lickers pretty much everywhere.

I do know Herr Kommandant showed up briefly after Bill left. He knows who he is. Napolean complex runs deep with that one. There are a number of people critical of the flyers. I think it was more from the personal attacks back and forth.

Yeah there are plenty left that are not pleased with the Flyers overall. I just think certain posters turned the thread negative every single day. Not sure who but someone did something about it. I for one am pleased with the change.

Banning posters overall is weak and cowardly.

Exactly. And he’s trying to get used to a new culture while playing in the best league in the world. So far he’s done better than I though he would and is better than advertised

And my prediction is bang on.

I had high hopes and michkov is making me sound like the smartes guy in the room

No being negative and saying the team is doom is a cowardly fan and definitely weak minded.

I'm happy that right now it's serious hockey talk where everyone opinions matter and can have healthy conversation, instead of your dumb because you disagree with my opinion type of ppl
