Can’t imagine losing my father, and then going through a life-changing night like this only 3 months later at his age. Wishing him the best, I’m sure his Father is proud
I've noticed that as well, he was almost crying there. Such a weird, sudden death, feel very sorry for Matvei and hist family, I hope he creates a great future and career with Flyers
3 years in the KHL is honestly not even that bad at all. Let him tear it up and come over when he's 21. Kaprisov was 23 when he came over right? And look at the impact he had when he showed up! Can't wait to see Michkov be a core piece of our future!
At the end of the interview, it is clear that it is very difficult for Matvey to talk about dad...I really want to wish Matvey that his dream really came true!)
Not sure I have ever been more excited about a Flyers player in my life. Wasn't born during the Lindros draft but man does Michkov get me excited as a fan. If he truly wanted the Flyer's to pick him like they say, he may be one of the best to ever put on the sweater. Heck of a night and the future is bright! So stoked!
I like his attitude and with him being so close with his father and the work they did together to get Matvei to where he is today as a young man and hockey player you can’t help yourself but to root for him. Welcome to Philadelphia buddy can’t wait for you to get over here and wear the orange and black. Let’s go Flyers!!!
I like this kids attitude, I can see his termination and how bad he wants to play for the Flyers. I can definitely see him making a change in Philadelphia and taking the Flyers in the right direction.
This is who I wanted the Flyers to get but thought that he would be gone by 4 or 5. To get him at 7 is a steal. Once I heard Danny was open to drafting him I was hopeful. Great 1st pick for Danny!!
I'm learning Russian so I can tell this man that I want him to be a Flyer for life in his native tongue and so he knows at least one dipshit in this fanbase wants him to be here and feel welcome! I'm so happy and excited! Daniel Briere is the most handsome and most talented GM in the NHL
Great that you are learning Russian ! I've learnt some Russian before visiting Russia back in 2019 to watch KHL games. There's a very good channel called "learn Russian while you sleep". I just played it in my ear pods while going for walks or driving. Easy to learn !
this guy from Austria is not worth half a michkov. everyone who was ahead of Philadelphia was afraid to choose him because of politics. sport is very politicized now and it's sad. the era of democracy in the United States has ended.
Really feel for this kid and whatever happened to his father...it looks sketchy. And he died less than 3 months ago. RIP Andrei Michkov. I hope your son is able to make you and your family proud and get that Stanley Cup. I hope Matvei is able to get them out of the situation in Russia safely as soon as he can.
Surprised that this talent was only 7th pick but anyway it was a great draft by Flyers. This Russian kid is full of sincerity, confidence, determination and most importantly his love at first sight for the Flyers.
@@kyleeckert1549 It's obvious at this point that Michkov was only interested to come in the NHL league to play for a big market. I think the choice came down to either MTL, PHI or WSH.
Briere selecting Michkov illustrates that the Flyers are indeed embarking on a "New Era of Orange", as I couldn't see Hextall or especially Holmgren (not to mention ol' cheap-shot 'Clarkie') taking a Russian kid who could be a superstar but is contractually obligated to his KHL team over a grinder like Ryan Leonard who those failed GMs would have looked at as an archetypal Flyer. Don't get me wrong, I am a fan of physical play and became a Flyers fan during the Lindros era, but sometimes you have to take a superstar over a top-nine grinder and this was one of those times, thanks Danny.
@@timmiller8495 wasn't he a top 4 dman for several years and a completely different player and situation than Michkov? it's okay to be happy bud, I promise you
keep the receipts, by the end of his career, he will be the greatest Flyer ever, and own all the goal scoring and points records in our franchise history
@@zachary4652okay relax im very happy he's here but relax he's got a long way to go he could get drafted to the war effort in Russia lets slow down till he actually here
Вашингтон пытался торговать, потому что они знали, что Филадельфия хочет его. Однако они не могли подняться, никто не сдвинется с места и не променяет кирку.
Going to have to wait a little longer than a year man, the struggles next year will be tough but the wait will be worth it. They'll end up with some more high-end draft picks and build a legtimate contender for years. Next years draft is going to be quite deep as well apparently and some big names could potentially be a Flyer. Keep on eye on the following names: Cole Eiserman, Macklin Celebrini, and Berkley Catton in the North America System Another product of Russia and in the same system as Michkov (SKA St. Petersburg) is Ivan Demidov who is in the MHL which is the league for players under 18. He's tallied 50 points in just 38 games, plays RW looks like another incredible offensive talent.
You don’t know hockey and it shows. The flyers are in a rebuild and will be tanking for good picks for the next 3 years till Michkov comes over. Learn some hockey
If their was no stupid war right now, Chicago would of debated him or Bedard their is no doubt in my mind. This guy will set multiple Flyers records. This is the type of guy who wants to be the best and will be motivated to not just start his NHL career, but to be better than the other 6 drafted before him. 😊
I want them to draft Demidov next year, this way the Flyers have two incredible Russian offensive talents on their team. Kid put up 50 points in 38 for St. Petersburg's junior level team.
So happy the Flyers got him. Feel bad that he lost his father so young. He was emotional for a moment there.

18 years old and lose your father totally unexpectedly.
It happened only a couple of months ago so very raw emotions no doubt.
Soooo sad
He is crazy dude ....he will do well in Philly ....it's full of crazy people 😊
Отвечает на вопросы журналистов словно уже зрелый человек, молодец Матвей! Успехов в НХЛ и без травм.

such a nice translator. hi to Flyers fans from Russia, Matvei can become to a big player
3 years in the KHL is honestly not even that bad at all. Let him tear it up and come over when he's 21. Kaprisov was 23 when he came over right? And look at the impact he had when he showed up!

Он может выкупить свой контракт уже через 1,5 года и приехать в НХЛ ❤
@@kucherovpanarin6933 Oh that's cool, I didn't know about this! If that happens then that would be amazing
He will be a megastar
He wants to come over ASAP

At the end of the interview, it is clear that it is very difficult for Matvey to talk about dad...I really want to wish Matvey that his dream really came true!)
I like him. Seems confident, but not cocky. Cant wait to see him in the orange and black in 3 years (or less)
He looks very cocky but if hes good it doesnt matter
This kid is going to do Big things for Philadelphia. Something's tells me he will be in Philadelphia sooner then 3 years
5:35 It's amazing how his confidence trumps language barriers, you can tell by his body language and delivery how sure he was in his statement.
Not sure I have ever been more excited about a Flyers player in my life. Wasn't born during the Lindros draft but man does Michkov get me excited as a fan. If he truly wanted the Flyer's to pick him like they say, he may be one of the best to ever put on the sweater. Heck of a night and the future is bright! So stoked!
I was born during the lindros draft and he was drafted by Quebec and refused to go there...putting politics ahead of hockey
This is the closest thing the Flyers have had since Lindros. I was there for all of that and he still remains one of my favorite Flyers ever!
I think he’s gonna be the best flyer ever. He’s unbelievable.
It's exciting to speculate and think about how this kid's talents will really help the Philadelphia Flyers in a few years! 🔸️7️⃣🔸️ #LetsGoFlyers

Great pick philly

His father is dead, man. Look at his emotions that he is trying to cover

I think some teams weren't convinced he would come to play for them.
That’s what I was thinking when Arizona picked that defenseman
@@kyleeckert1549 It's obvious at this point that Michkov was only interested to come in the NHL league to play for a big market. I think the choice came down to either MTL, PHI or WSH.
So looking forward to the day when Matvei comes to Philadelphia to help us bring the cup back your going to love it here its a great place to play
I think he will do well in Philadelphia ...He is crazy in the head as most Flyers fans ......😊

Fast forward 6 months later (halfway through the season) and the excitement is even higher.
Shoutout to Danny B for bringing him to us QUICKLY
Superstar. I’ve been starving for this
Welcome man !!!
As a habs fan, I'm rooting for this kid. Seems like a good kid
красавчик Матвей! Удачи тебе!
Удачи Матвей!!
Kid is going to be so good, I'm jealous of the Flyers.
never felt that sad as a montreal canadiens fan
Gonna be a lot of sorry organizations letting a future HOFer drop to the 7th pick.
keep the receipts, by the end of his career, he will be the greatest Flyer ever, and own all the goal scoring and points records in our franchise history
@@zachary4652okay relax im very happy he's here but relax he's got a long way to go he could get drafted to the war effort in Russia lets slow down till he actually here
Take a pill
"when I come here, we will win." I like that mindset very much.
As someone from Montreal, I'm so pissed habs didn't pick him as 5th overall. Really pissed.
19,600 rabid Flyers fans chanting "MICHKOV ... MICHKOV ... MICHKOV" .... my god it cannot come soon enough.
Почему вам нравится флайерс? Потому что оранжевый - это мой любимый цвет ❤
One question on the ice how would he be able to communicate with the rest of the team and the refs like you can’t have a translator on the ice so
J'y crois pas encore.
Let's go mattygoals
I’m glad that Matvei is joining the Flyers. Hopefully, he will join them as soon as possible.
A few years flies by these days it seems. Teams are gonna be kicking themselves when this kid hits that ice.
He's Got A Translator
In 10 or so years there's a chance this could really pay off.
10 years are you dumb. It’ll pay off in 3 when he comes over
Красавчик!!
this dude is gonna be a stud. Such a fail by MTL not to take him.
Ive never been so excited for a draft pick. I hope we can get rid of that khl contract and bring him over pronto
why we're rebuilding now...
@@corneliuswalker3319 and nhl experience hurts because.....
Philly might try to buy him out of contract and a lot more money
@@seawolfe683 you seriously think putting a rookie on a shitty team is good for their development? Gtfo
TABARNAK
Gotta get this kid out of Russia before Putin gets a hold of him
Congrats to the Flyers on the steal of the draft. Was hoping my Sharks would take him, he's going to be insane when he comes to the NHL.
The new jersey looks so FIRE!! From one of the ugliest jerseys in the league to one of the hottest
В России все в шоке, так как думали, что его заберёт Вашингтон. Кажется, они тоже не ожидали этого и выдали свитер без фамилии 8 пику.
Вашингтон пытался торговать, потому что они знали, что Филадельфия хочет его. Однако они не могли подняться, никто не сдвинется с места и не променяет кирку.
i’m so fired up, but wanna run through a brick wall.
ofc because most of us are too broke and cant afford to play... go figure
so sad on what happened around his dad.
Russia gives the hockey world this young, brave, talented player. All the best to Michkov&the team. Keep up going to the dream!
179cm, 80kg. To whom it may concern. Told by the man himself.

Good news... he has 3 years to learn English.
But will he be forced back to Russia to serve his military service? We lost that one goaltender last year .
No
@@broadstbullies9342 thing is, if he goes back to Russia or a Country with Russian as an ally ,he might not come back.
Fedetov will finish his one year of service in July, he will then be released and should be able to join the Flyers in camp.

It wont be next season, they are in a rebuild and they will probably get things rolling within the next couple to few years
