It's a pity hockey isn't about goaltending alone. Somebody needs to tell this all the FHR officials who claim to be building a system of youth development, that currently produces no centers or defencemen.
Vorobiev is still an idiot, even after admitting his mistake. He wasted time on a uselss game of musical chairs with Kaprizov and Barabanov. A blunder obvious even to me at home and he is a pro who was hired to coach one of the top hockey teams in the world. Now his "new" lines have a whopping one game left to find chemistry before the QF.
And I still don't get why Khafizullin is quarterbacking the 2PP and not Orlov. I know Khafilzullin is having a tournament of his life for his standards, but he ist still miles and acres behind Orlov.

no way - great defensive guy, but he was no way near Fetisov and Kasatonov's prime.

I was responding to a post about goalies. Your post, however, is outside of scope of the topic.

My guess is for the same reason Orlov rarely plays with Ovechkin on Caps PP. He has the wrong hand. To make a pass to Ovi he needs to turn his body first. Its a waste of precious time.

Handedness is BS, especially if you play one D-man on the PP who is alone at the blue line. So it depends from where at the blue line he would feed the LW. It changes the system, but with the personel Vorobiev has he could also easily have more than just 2PP units cut in stone.

They concern me, They are a talented, big and fast skating team. They have a solid chance of 3 peating.
he was good and he played on a great team. Hard to compare him, but I think Fetisov at prime was leagues above him, may be can be compared to Kasatonov.
You had it right the first time. Konstantinov was a wonderful defensive defenseman, great character and toughness, totally fearless. But at his best, he never came close to Fetisov's offensive genius. Great skater, stickhandler, passer, and a shot that could disassemble the boards on impact. He was the quarterback of arguably the greatest offensive unit in the history of the game, and more than that, he was the leader and heart and soul of the team. It does not detract from Konstantinov to properly represent Fetisov.
