- Do you remember how many KHL shutouts you have this season?
- Four, probably.
- Speak about today's match.
- It was a good game, the guys tried hard. The first period wasn't great, but we scored in the second stanza and managed to win.
- Are you tired of winning?
- You never get tired of winning.
- It seems that SKA's players don't feel the pressure of the winning streak?
- Yes we're not bothered about it. We prepare for each separate match and try to win.
- Spartak had a couple of 1 on 1 opportunities. Did SKA lose concentration?
- Maybe.
- The morning skate took place very early.
- I went to sleep after that, I only woke up before the game.
- You are playing more often than Mikko Koskinen at the moment.
- He was ill for a while, so he couldn't travel for the away trip. Now we are playing half of the matches each.
- Has Mikko took offence to the fact that you play a lot?
- We need to look at the statistics to see how many games we have played.
- Five home games are coming up.
- It's always nice to play at the Ice Palace, I hope that we will continue winning games.
- Which opponent was the toughest for you?
- It was difficult against Avangard Omsk in the first period.
- SKA have beaten Spartak by a combined score of 9:0 in these two games.
- Spartak have a good team, but they didn't take advantage of their opportunities. Had they scored, it would have been more difficult for us.
- Before the match, did you speak to Alexander Dergachyov?
- Yes, he tried to put pressure on me at the red line, but he's so tall I actually couldn't hear him.
We'd better identify who Shestyorkin's eventual successor would be so we can bump a thread about him when we inevitably throw Igor under the bus.
Sorokin was/is considered one of the best goaltending prospects in the world, so yes, it's a testament to how good he is.So I saw that Ilya Sorokin posted similar numbers even younger. Is that a testament to how good Sorokin is or does that say more about the numbers being not as impressive as they seem?
Never use GAA to evaluate a goalie, GAA is a team stat. All your other points are good though
Even if they both on the same team over a reasonably large sample?
I think GAA is useful when used in conjunction with SV%. On it's own it doesn't tell much. Although you could make the same argument for SV% to some degree.Even if they both on the same team over a reasonably large sample?
Shestyorkin, Sorokin and Samsonov are arguably the 3 top ranked goalie prospects in the world if you count Saros as graduated right now. I don't really think #4 is particularily close either.
Good time for goalies whose name starts with an "S".
Different era, different nations, different leagues, different teams. Very hard to compare. Plus, very few watch both the SHL/SEL and the KHL.
I still don't like GAA, SV% is much better, really wish we had access to shot location data in KHL, would be cool.
I do. But I live in Europe. I actually went to the Frolunda game today. Saw Andersson play.
How did Dahlin react when you asked him how he'll feel about joining the Rangers next season?
He told me some guy called Bettman called him to focus on living in western Pennsylvania.
