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

[Joe McGrath]

Looks like it could be a knee injury

If that’s the play - I’m surprised his knee is located that close to his balls.

Everything hangs lower in Russia

 

[HisIceness]

Believe me I hope he's okay and recovers fast but I'm kinda ready for his SKA days to be over. If this means he doesn't suit up for them again and risk even more injury while playing 25 minutes a night, then I'm all for that

Both sites that have that data want me to subscribe to access it. I do not care enough about this argument to do so

I’ll save ya the bucks. One has played 2nd pairing all year long, the other guy on the 3rd pair. Guy on the 2nd pair has seen the tougher competition and has had more defensive zone starts over the guy playing 3rd pair all year.

The zone starts aren't as big of a difference as you'd expect. I posted that on the last page. Ghost starts 59.7% of his shifts in the offensive zone, Orlov starts 55.6% of his shifts in the offensive zone

Maybe it was his wee knee

In addition, there was supposed to be Matrix starting Will Smith, Lord of the Rings starting Nic Cage/Shaun Connery and Shrek starting Chris Farley

Forgot to mention this. I believe Will Smith turned down Matrix for Wild Wild West

That is so f%*ing stupid! Screw you for almost making me do a spit take with my Mtn Dew!

 

[Nikishin al Gaib]

Alright so this was his reaction after the shift where he got hurt -



He was placed on the IR today

I wish I could take credit for it but this is quite possibly one of the greatest things ever broadcast on tv

The solid 20 seconds of hearing nothing but cackling in the background just makes it so much funnier

For sure that part and the attempted recovery is almost funnier than the joke itself

He changed from white jersey to blue?
