What are the majority of kids doing at 18/19-years-old?
You still have your whole life ahead of you.
But there are a group of teens right now in the NHL who aren’t interested in waiting around.
Every time Matvei Michkov touches the puck, he’s looking to make something special happen.
Something that almost everybody else in the world would think “what the hell is this kid thinking?”
until it ends up working out and the puck is in the back of the net.
On Saturday, he’ll go up against 19-year-old Connor Bedard for the first time as NHL opponents.
It’s set up to be this generation’s Ovechkin vs Crosby.
Bedard is still a superstar, but he’s surrounded by shit.
The only other 18-year-old to score a game winner in overtime this decade?
Connor Bedard last season.
These kids just don’t give a shit.
Igor Shesterkin said it best–these kids should be in school right now.
These kids are barely old enough to be driving themselves home after their games.
I’m pretty sure Macklin Celebrini just got his drivers license like a month ago.
But they’re already taking over the NHL right now.
The kids are alright.
