"Hockey bro's still make put he's dominating the KHL" - NHL fans react to Michkov being dropped from SKA lineup again

The NHL world was buzzing with excitement as SKA St. Petersburg prepared to take the ice once more against HC Lada Togliatti. The absence of one young star who had caught the imaginations of fans all across the world took center stage on this particular occasion, rather than the thrill of the game.

Arpon Basu, Senior columnist on the Canadiens for @TheAthleticNHL, brought this situation to the forefront with a single tweet:

"Demidov in the lineup for SKA today. Michkov is not."

Instantly, NHL fans from all corners of the internet began to react to this revelation, sharing their thoughts on the exclusion of the highly touted Russian prospect, Matvei Michkov.

One fan, clearly disheartened by the news, took to Twitter to express his frustration, stating,

"And the hockey bro's still make put he's dominating the KHL."

Another fan chimed in,

"Will you annually tweet out SKA lineups for both players? Or just flyers prospects? Or 2024 prospects?"

One Twitter user took a more pragmatic approach saying,

"Michkov not listed in KHL database."

However, not all fans were sympathetic to the Michkov saga. One fan urged Basu to move on from the topic, exclaiming,

"Stop obsessing over two guys who will NEVER be a part of the Habs organization.... move on with your lives!! FFS."

Michkov's absence from the SKA St. Petersburg lineup remains a mystery. Although, one thing is clear – NHL fans will continue to keep a close eye on this promising young talent, eagerly awaiting the next chapter in his hockey journey.
