Man I had forgotten that ankle breaker, poor kid from Notre Dame must've had his ego shattered into a puzzle set. 😂 Very nice vid, thanks a lot. I kinda wish you'd also showed a bit more of of his defense & puck retrievals cause I've seen a few clips on that from him and I didn't expect to see them as good as they were this soon into his rookie season. Crazy how fast he got into it by the way, you can see Hagens in Boston still trying to figure things out, which is completely normal, in spite of probably having the 2 best linemates in the whole league but Michael took off like a rocket while on a somewhat partially rebuilt team. Truly impressive. I'm betting not more than a couple years from now some GMs will scratch their heads thinking how did we pass on this one ?
Glad you liked the vid my man! You're not the first to tell me to put defensive highlight so 100% I will put some on the next video. You are absolutely right I really think GM will regret passing on him and the Habs got a very good one
@TChockey when I placed that comment I still had a good memory of the thorough highlights from his first 2 or 3 games, plus a couple more shifts from his latestst USHL games in which he was quite proficient defensively. Since then I watched a couple more which raised doubts and then Grant McCagg on the Sick podcast highlighted even more that if the abilities are there, he's actually not doing nearly enough, still has got to implement a lot more of that 2-way compete to his game. But yeah, will be nice to track if there's some progress there in a few months or if he's still mainly focused on growing his impressive offense.
I’m gonna do one but I will probably post it on twitter because Im not sure if the KHL would strike me on here. But if you have twitter max I’ll post one in the coming weeks
he is amazing...cant wait to see him in montreal

amazing video💪🏼
thanks brotha
look like a mix of jack eichel with getzlaf
Great vid. I didn't realize how well he's skating. Do you think he is gonna be a first centre in the league?
Demidov gets all the attention but man this guy is honestly right there in terms of talent. Definitely a better skater than Demidov.
Speaking of Demidov, would you be able to make a mid season KHL highlight pack for him?
Demidov is crazy elite but you’re right he still is special
