Prospect Info: #69(nice)OA - Hurricanes select LHD Alexander Nikishin (Spartak - KHL)

[DaveG]

Yep, tested positive for Rogaine at one of the preliminary camps for the Olympics

Apparently one of the ingredients is considered a making agent for PEDs

 

[GoldiFox]

Nikishin is back to playing today for Spartak. Good news.

Wasn't it Propecia? Wouldn't want to sully the good name of Rogaine.

Primary assist so far through 1.5 periods.

edit: Changed to a goal for Nikishin

I mean on one hand, the guy had some serious flow so can't blame him for wanting to keep it. But on the other hand, does someone with hair like this actually need to use Rogaine? I mean REALLY need to use it?

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

In this picture, the entire back of his head is bald.

Outscoring Jarvis already....

[tarheelhockey]

We should keep this guy on contract just for the occasional minor league hit gifs.

[Stickpucker]

We need a guy like this to patrol the blue line and light up all the soft forwards in todays game trying to get into the ozone.

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

Nikiskin plays like I used to play NHL video games. Take big forwards and defenders and tunnel vision on providing the hits. Defense / positioning did not matter.

RIP Aho, Necas, and TT.

Oh, you meant from other teams. NVM

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

RIP Aho, Necas, and TT.

Oh, you meant from other teams. NVM

"But coach! It's so much easier to hit the guys with the Canes jerseys on, they're never expecting it!"

"No, only the other team."

"Nikishin smash?"

"No, no Nikishin smash, come back to the bench for now and we will try again later."

It's stupid to go into ozone when you're getting lighted up. Ozone accelerates combustion.

"No, only the other team."

"Nikishin smash?"

"No, no Nikishin smash, come back to the bench for now and we will try again later."

"Smash everything."

[MinJaBen]

He seems a lot like Zadorov.

 

[NotOpie]

Bang goes the Boom

 

[Caser]

Sounds like the IIHF won't allow Nikishin to play at the WJC due to his cardiac issues.
