Matvei Michkov will wear #39 for Philadelphia Flyers | PHLY Sports

everyone that watches the show knows I wear a lot of hats you sure do literally I don’t do that much I wear hats literally every single day different hats and there was an announcement today the National Hockey League and New Era cap the international sports and Lifestyle brand announced a multi-year agreement that Grants New Era rights to produce and distribute globally headwear and apparel for the league and its 32 teams the agreement begins with the 20242 NHL season you’re really about we’re finally getting hats I own I think I have like 24 Phillies hats in my rotation wow I’ve probably bought like two baseball style Flyers hats in the last 10 years I want to buy lots of Flyers hats they all stink and we all know how I feel about the main Prov apparel provider of the NHL now the brand of which I buy all my Philly’s hats we’ll be making flyers hats I’m very excited if you’re a hat person I think you’re excited too but there’s an announcement about gear that’s even bigger than than that for all Flyers fans and flyers tweeted this out a little bit ago they’re going to be opening the store the Wells Fargo Center store is going to be opened it’s usually only opened on game days but they’re going to have some store hours uh today Wednesday and Thursday and it’s because Mish goofier is in y and uh this is is basically confirms that number 39 will be his number when when he arrives here uh the ELC is signed he’ll be playing for the team this year there’s a little okay let’s just wait and see make sure he’s going to be wearing 39 it appears he is he that is the uh that is the number on his jersey in the advertisement and yeah like there’s a tippet shery there there’s a hat when you click the link it’s like we have mov hat we have mitov jerseys we have mitov T-shirts we have pucks with his face we have stickers and it’s all number 39 they know what the people want they’re not they’re opening the store not to sell Owen tippet shery listen I like Owen tippet a lot I might go and get myself a shery of his but this is all about mattv mitkov and uh confirming the number 39 I feel good for all the people who pre-bought all their [ __ ] uh with 39 on it you now are Vindicated that is the number he’s wearing but you would have to assume that at the very least they they asked Mitch’s agent at the Le and said hey is he to keep 39 and got the thumbs up and now it’s all right all the jerse people I’m happy they’re not just like it’s not like the flashiest of numbers it’s not like it’s 93 or something but like now you’re a rookie you get a rookie number I I like it because it’s distinctive and it’s and it’s not a jersey number that necessarily has a player like a very famous player Associated so I dig it I because it’s a number that he can make his own oh Charlie there is one player associated with this number that is from an all-time moment in our time together but uh francei and La once I tweeted out like okay looks like they confirmed number 39 here fransy and La replied with a screenshot from hockey reference of all the number 39 uh in Flyers history oh Tyrell goldber either you’re referring to Nate the Great Nate Pro or you’re refering to Tyrell gold yeah well there’s a couple greats on here Jeff lank uh Phantom’s great Who was the like for the Phantoms just the defenseman that everyone chose to dump on the way we have there’s always a defenseman for the Flyers that we just point out and go he’s our Whipping Boy this is true uh and Jeff flank was that for the Phantoms like the team never lost but somehow we all still hated Jeff flank but when he got called up we uh 39 Mark Al who I’m still not totally convinced is a real person pretty sure he was just computer generated guy who showed up on the Phantoms roster when he got his call up 39 and Tyrell goldor who when I called for his call up uh when we first started the show I’m 2019 so it wasn’t that long ago yeah I guess but I demanded Tyro goldor get his shot and uh gets the call up 10 minutes after we got done recording the show as soon as we finished the show they we had even left the studio yet still there and we get the email saying that Tyro Gorn had been recalled it was the most cuz we spent the entire show saying how dumb of it idea it was while you were saying I don’t care it would be funny care they weren’t Tough Enough they needed to call up anfor an enforcer and they went about and did it and honestly it’s gonna be tough for M mitkov to live up to the day debut of Tyrell goor first shift lays a big hit in the offensive zone Scott laon steals the puck scores a goal I don’t know I I see the funny thing one of the great bill I have completely erased that my memory BS the fact that you remember it it says a lot about I’ve never felt more right like it was just one of those times that like look the impact he had on this game he immediately laid a hit that led to a goal I’m just saying I was right but the number 39 judging by this list it’s very much one he can make his own you know like number 17 is a great number in Flyers history that like I associate with other other dudes exactly there there’s numbers along the way 48 they slap on Frost cuz he’s okay you’re the next Brier and it’s like is he though is though you know and we’re still we’re still having this obviously they’re not going to give out Clark’s number Barber’s because they reti there are numbers that are not retired but still have players have notable players in franchise history associated with the number 39 it can be Mitch kof’s number he can make that his own I saw somebody in the comment section saying that Dominic hasik was 39 that’s funny because like I don’t I don’t remember goalie numbers I I just they all wear the same number well just you know you don’t see them like you don’t see you don’t see the number that often see of yeah like I I know players numbers because that’s how you distinguish players on the ice the goalie if anything I know them like I vividly remember Dominic hosik’s mask yeah because he had the old school mask but I do I don’t did not remember what his number was it just wasn’t important to me there setups are very much what you see like the number like and that’s very much like yeah and that’s kind of one of the things I like about it though is like I associate numbers in the 30s with goalies right 39 33 whatever it might be and that is it’s Unique yeah like he’s he’s a goal scoring Winger who’s going to like try the Michigan twice a week that’s different so I’m I’m appreciative of that uh it’s it’s a little it’s grown on me I was like H I don’t know like I feel like he needs something a little flashier but that’s going to be his style of play and he can make it his own I’m cool with that it’s number 39 for Matthew mitkov if you want to head down to the store check out the Flyers Twitter get your gear man or you know go to PHL locker.com and get your Mad Russian stuff a another another podcast has thrown their hat into the ring and this might be the best one of the bunch uh I promised I would wear this the first day they sent it to me the uh meat and potatoes podcast sent me their version of it’s just fabric pens um I told him I would wear it the first day I had it it’s a large oh thank you that that that’s a stretch literally honestly that’s I showed it to Ava and she was like well I mean if they sent you a large then like that’s flattering it is like I look like a sack of potatoes on the show but they were like okay yeah a large let’s send him that so I can’t wear it but thank you very much the uh meat and potatoes podcast throws their hat into the ring for the best of the mitkov Mania t-shirt [Applause] we all sting like the May

With the announcement that the Wells Fargo Center team store will be opened and selling Michkov jerseys, the Flyers confirmed that the new face of the franchise will indeed be wearing #39, as he did in Russia.

Charlie & Bill look back at previous 39s in team history and talk about Matvei making the number his own.
