Matvei Michkov has adjusted to the Flyers better than anybody could have expected. Of course, he is still adapting to North America and their culture, but he is adapted well on ice.
Michkov has done it, he’s done it. He is now part of the 60 point club (24g,36a). What a rookie season it has been for the young upcoming Superstar, and it’s a rare one.
A young 20-year-old in Michkov has become the ninth rookie in Flyers history to register 60+ points in a season. The last was Mikael Renberg in 1993-94 (82 Points).
The patience with Michkov has paud off, and it’s really fueling his overall success on the ice. Michkov doesn’t have to be afraid to make a mistake, It’s just easier to adapt to the game knowing this. Is there stuff to work on? Sure, there always is, and Michkov will continue to work on his craft. But, it’s just nice knowing that he doesn’t have to play mistake free hockey, especially since he’s trying to make a play, more often than not.
Now let’s see if he can get to be part of the 25 goal club.
Alex Bump
Alex Bump is a damn good hockey player. He was all over the ice once again, in the National Championship game. Bump and Western Michigan University won the National Championship game over Boston University 6-2.
Bump will sign his ELC with the Flyers Monday I believe.
Devin Kaplan, a Flyers Prospect, from Boston University registered an assist in the loss.
Denver Barkey
Denver Barkey, I mean what more can one say!!!! He is the second leading scorer in the OHL Playoffs in just six games played.
Just another clutch game with 1g,3a in a Playoff game against the Erie Otters. He now has 19 points in six games played in the OHL Playoffs.
He’s now averaging 3.16 Points Per Game. These are rare, but very good numbers for the young Flyers Prospect.
The Reading Royals
The Royals did it, they did it. They are going to the playoffs. Jason Binkley in his first full season for the Royals has guided the team to a Kelly Cup Playoff berth.
Yvan Mongo came back from injury, and it sparked the club. He missed most of the season, 57 games to be exact with an injury. His return fueled the Royals, who seemed to be down in the dumps before his arrival to the club.
Binkley is a good coach, and he held his team together through it all. This Royals team has become a special bunch.

In the past 2 years ( counting playoffs ) Denver Barkey has an amazing 230 pts in 138 games ( 75g 155a ).
Go Flyers!!
