Spittin' Chiclets Podcast Stir Things Up With Rumours About Matvei Michkov

Paul Bissonnette and Ryan Whitney were quick to jump to conclusions about the 18-year-old first round draft pick, after speculation and loose rumours were spread. Apparently Michkov has had relationships and locker room problems with coaches, players, etc. which is nor confirmed or denied officially, ultimately becoming hearsay.

What the boys did on the Spittin' Chiclets podcast is completely unacceptable, they just immediately crapped all over an 18-year-old who isn't even fully developed yet and doesn't even speak proper English.

No matter what the kid has done or hasn't done, he is young. It is expected of him to take some bumps on and off the ice from time to time, he's only 18-years-old. Still growing and his attitude will change/get better over time.

The boys on the podcast claim that coaches and players have basically said Michkov is a pain to work with and that he is a «cancer» in the locker room. Paul Bissonette brought up a profound rumour that Michkov supposedly kicked one of his teammates as well. Now, these are all speculation and just rumours, but awfully harsh accusations especially with no real proof to back them up.

If you really look into the behind the scenes with Matvei Michkov on draft day you can see just how heartfelt and caring he is. He wanted to be a Philadelphia Flyer and he should bring some of that hard nose hockey back into Philly. Becoming a superstar who doesn't take crap from anyone.
