A fun tournament it's going to be. Kirill Tankov, Daniil Guschin, Artemii Knyazev, Yegor Gurzanov, Yaroslav Likhachev, Prokhor Poltapov will play. Also some star KHLers like Tolchinskiy and Goldobin.

SPb vs Moscow at 16:40 Moscow time. Tankov, Guschin, Knyazev and more vs Tolchinskiy and Goldobin + some others.

This 3 vs 3 hockey is obviously very different than 5x5 one. One thing I saw, legit KHL stars didn't look that great, and pretty average even by VHL standarts players rocked.

With almost no physical play (it's a friendly tournament after all, and 3x3 never physical even in the NHL), poor structure and a lot of space some players look like stars despite being suckers at 5x5. Very similar to smaller soccer versions vs 11x11 one, I'd say.

I watched some of this today. The setup looks nice and all, however barely any fans in the stands. I really don't like it though it was boring.

I don't understand the obsession with 3x3 that is taking over sports though. Sure for the OT in the NHL it can be exciting but in general I would rather it not becomes a thing.

Due to security reasons the tournament is moved to Minsk.
