[kovazub94]

The ****, was he NKVD or something?

NKVD? Kravtsov Dad is not 100 years old.

Seriously, it has more to do with military technology industry than secret services.

I know, it was a joke.

 

[kovazub94]

I just wasn’t sure if you know from NKVD, KGB, FSB...

Do you get invited to the family reunions now?

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Do you get invited to the family reunions now?

Hahaha. Maybe in a few years

he was the bad guy in goldeneye

As a kid I was always confused how Jeroen Krabbe, a Dutch actor, always played Russian bad guys in movies.

Edit: Never mind. He was the bad guy in The Living Daylights

Was he the main bad guy in the fugitive? I forget his name, Dr. something.

 

[Machinehead]

Is he really that tall?

 

[NYRKING30]

AK is going to be best man at this point somewhere down the road.

At the wedding they will want to go for realism. So they will provide him with a closet so he can take pics of everyone covertly.

Kravtsov is in Phuket at the moment enjoying a well-deserved vacation. This means he won't play for Russia this month

You mean he's not in the gym bulking up?

Sigh, I guess he doesn't take a NHL career very serious.

I learned how to swim in Phuket when I was 10 In all your travels I hope you’ve been to Thailand! my favorite travel destination in the world, I’ve gone there 3 times

The furthest east I've been is Turkey. I hope to go to Japan in September for the Rugby world cup

Kravtsov is already in NY. He just posted a story on his IG of him throwing a ball around to a dog in NY.

I got this photo yesterday. Leaving behind his dad in Vladivostok. A sad day for his dad but great to have him in NY!

 

[EpicDing]

Probably trying to get an early start with Prentiss and get used to the city. Good shit.

 

[HockeyBasedNYC]

I feel like with getting Kakko on board, Kravstov will be taking a little bit of a back seat as far as first impressions and pressure to perform. I think thats a very good thing.

I also think having Kakko a line up from him helps bury Kravstov against lesser D pairings, which is also good.

I've watched Kravstov's games but not a ton of them. He has the ability to surprise the NHL and I think if he's given the right guidance and assimilates well to NY and his teammates we might see something special from him in year one.

I actually think Kakko and Kravstov can both learn from each other. Their games have some small similarities. Cant wait for prospect & training camp. Its going to be awfully exciting to see these two in Ranger blue.

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

I reeceived my KHL All Star jersey today finally. After weeks of waiting and the jersey traveling from Moscow to Yekaterinburg to Helsinki to Dublin and now finally settling down in Vienna!

I’m more of a Koh Samui guy myself.

Yeah, that is major. Instead you get a positive effect with these guys pushing for the spotlight, instead of being burdened by the pressure.

BTW, I am sure the US has good intel into most aspects of Russia, but I doubt just about anyone that ever was in the army would be denied entrance to the US. Must have had some kind of advanced position. Spetsnaz?

I am intrigued, can’t you ask A-Kreider? Doesn’t seem that unlikely that he was in Afghanistan either. Probably has a few cuts in the stock of his AK74.
