Why did ESPN and Emily Kaplan think it was appropriate to ask Matthew Wood during his interview after just getting drafted by the home crowd Predators, “What’s something we don’t know about Connor Bedard?”….this kid’s been waiting for this moment for his whole life and you ask him about Bedard? Come on now
Kaplan was awful at asking questions to draft picks. I get it’s tough, but do some research beforehand. Think she made Will Smith sing the Fresh Prince song. Anybody could’ve done better than she did. Good at her job, but damn was she brutal with the interviews.
Michkov has met with the flyers twice and on both occasions was really happy with the flyers wanting to draft him. He had a real good time in vorhees apparently.
For being a hockey podcast, I literally saw no content for the Stanley cup final. I'm sure if the leafs or avs were in it there wouldve been one every gameday
@@alessandroscuderi7300 the only risk is the Russian bit, but watching him on draft day I think he was more into it than anyone, plus he seemed to know a good bit of English which is always good for Russian players
As a Habs fan, I am actually happier now that I learned a little bit on Reinbacher. He's going to be a special big boy on the back end. Just hope we don't do another Sergachev with this kid.
People don’t realize that kaprizov stayed in the k for 3 years. Now carry’s the wild. Imagine Mitchkov if he does stay in Russia than comes over when the flyers get better.
Everybody knows Kaprizov stayed in KHL after being drafted but you got the years wrong. He stayed FIVE years in KHL after being drafted which is a legit concern with Michkov. He could resign there like Kaprizov did and take even longer.
@@alessandroscuderi7300It is a concern but he’s translator said he wants to come over and play at the highest level. If I was a Flyers fan I would have like a 10% of worry about him not coming over.
@@ryanwasiak7050 Oh I know. I was just pointing out what the guy said about Kaprizov was wrong. Michkov has also said Flyers were the team he really wanted to get drafted by and plans to come over very soon. So its looking great for Flyers.
Wow so much North American homer vibes. Seem to have no respect for how rare it is to do what Carlsson has done in Swedish hockey! He will be a star! Not surprised if he’s a multiple 100p player in 10 years.
There were certain teams Michkov wasn't interested in playing for so I can't blame the teams that didn't take him for that reason. Montreal had discussions with him but it was obvious him and his agent wanted Philly from what we heard come out in the media a few days prior to the draft.
My explanation of Arizona's draft is that the talked to all of the North American players and they all didn't want to play there. The Yaroslavl guys were the best players that didn't shudder when asked their reaction to being drafted by the Coyotes.
None of you are scouts or have even watched most of these guys play, why would you crap on these organizations and these teenagers when you don’t know a thing about these kids other than what you’ve seen in the media?
Sure Fantili is great, but Carlsson is playing in the 3 best leauge in the world. Carlsson also outperformed Fantili at both the WJC and the WC, anaheim made the correct choice.
Also with the Reinbacher Habs question thing kinda weird that would ask a kid from Austria that, hope they didn't ask it to any potential German prospects as well lmao
"Experts" were saying Gretzky was too slight to make it in the NHL. He was 6 feet but slim. Jagr was not that fast but was said a to be really good once over the blue line, same with Selanne as I recall. So Jagr went 5 (with Canucks taking Nedved instead) and the Finish Flash going at 10 because they did not have blinding speed. I look at the draft with Steve Larmer and Luc Robitaille in mind. Not that big, not that fast, no big shot but hockey IQ yes. Larmer was an All-Star and I think won the Calder and Luc inducted into the HOF
I'm very happy with the Leafs picking Easton Cowan, he was on fire during the Playoffs and I always loved watching him play, it's even better that I live in his hometown and have met his family before~
‘Bout the Yotes: it wouldn’t surprise me if the first question they ask prospects is ‘will you play for our organization?’ Second, they drafted Russians, who, they have indefinite first contract signing rights for. Much like Michkov, who said he wouldn’t play for them, both of these guys can develop in the KHL until a new building is ready for the team and then bring them over. It’s a safer pick than Cooley who needs to sign by August 2026 or he becomes a UFA.
Is there a reason you don't post the audio version of the podcast anymore? The last episode on Spotify is from October 2022 and is predicting playoff teams
It’s very debatable that he was the “best player” I think Fantilli as the better player but I also had Carlsson as the 3rd best player in the draft. They are very close but I think Fantilli’s shot and his physicality puts him over Carlsson
Conspiracy theory here. Price wants to be remembered on RU-vid and did it on purpose. Yes I know he will be remembered for great goaltending but now in retirement he can sit back and have a laugh as this is replayed over and over. Way to go Carey
Look at Hockey Prospect rankings and Simashev was much higher in fact Pronman had him as the top defensive prospect. And also had But really high as well.
@@seanpierce2943 I’m not even a Coyotes fan I’m a Hawks fan and I recognize that there is bias against at the very least Russians but also largely European players playing in Europe. Mostly because they look at the ice size and don’t see as much tape. I don’t blame them I just resort to listening to the guys who have more tape on the guys I don’t see as much from
what seems to have been forgotten here is that Michkov is under a KHL contract, which means he is literally unable to play for another team in another league.
im sorry I DIED LAUGHING WHEN PRICE FORGOT THE NAME, I DIED XXXXDDDDDD. But hey give price credit at least he remembered the FIRST part of the name compared to bobby clarke who forgot the entire name XXXXXDDDD
I didn't know this video came out. I'm subbed and everything. Like, I just want to see bardown stuff, but it doesn't pop up. I really think bardown needs a separate channel from TSN.
CBJ fan. because Adam was in the post . click bait for us . we feel awesome we got him . cant believe he went 3 thought he would go 2 . also Babs is definitely under the microscope .the front office is already in damage control. because we where all complaining including me . before he was ever hired. he says he is a new man . i am going to give him a chance because Rick Nash gives his approval
But yall gets to lose 3 years of him and watch he gets hurt or pop his acl over there damn that's so mess up anything can happen to him but yall crazy asf to take a guy that u have to wait after his 3 years is up and may have a bad injury before he gets there sad
@@MathiasEggimann I bet he comes over in a year or two. Him being present at the draft period and also saying he wants to come over soon, tells me he'll be over here sooner rather than later
Let’s just say it Cowan is definitely a reach. It is what it is he could develop into a good player but there was a ton of players who performed a lot better not only in the playoffs but over the course of the season to.
