Prospect Info: April 2: Alexei Kolosov has joined AHL Phantoms (Goalie, 2021 draft pick); played April 13

[Don Nachbaur 26]

I had a dream that kolosov was an absolute barn burner, won the starting job and got 40 wins and a 2.04 GAA along with a .934 save percentage, and laughed and joked around with the media about his rocky start with the flyers while accepting his trophy at the end of the year, telling everyone how instrumental torts was helping with his smooth transition to the NHL.

This board will explode if that happened

He didn't choose to isolate himself.

They brought him over for a month, stuck him in a hotel room, gave him no interpreter so he could to someone, then plaued him no f***ing games. How wanted is a guy going to feel?

Imagine going to Russia for a month and just going to practice where you can't communicate with anyone. Then going to your hotel room where you just sit there watching Russian TV. Then on top of it, you don't even get to play a game.

Why the hell would you want to go back?

He asked to be put in a hotel as he didn't want any roommates. Seems he didnt want to assimilate.

How fun would dinners and extrac. be if you couldn't talk to anyone or understand a thing being said?

So simple to have an interpreter hired to "hold his hand" and play him a few games. Doesn't that seem like the bare minimum any team would do?

Yes it does.

Kind of hoping the kid gets the game tonight against the Islanders.
