G Sergei Ivanov - HC Sochi, KHL (2022, 138th, CBJ)

Very exciting prospect to follow from afar. It is interesting though how his KHL team is so bad but all of their goalies have good to great numbers

Had a dang good year for his age.

Loaned to Sochi for the next season. If I understood correctly, before that he extended with SKA until the end of 2025/26.

 

[Kshahdoo]

68 saves on 69 shots in a preseason game vs SKA...

Bet he's gonna be the better goalie than Askarov.

Also didn't allow a single goal against Russian U?? team for the 28 minutes he played in first game of the tournament.

What did Ivanov say there? I saw a comment from HC Zubov saying they decided to not keep him in net for shootout because he hurt himself in the game.

He said usual things for a goalie: "Making saves is my job, the team helped me a lot, I'm gonna rest a bit and start preparing for next games".

Literally the only negative thing I have heard about Ivanov is that he's short. His numbers are consistently fantastic. I hope he can keep it up and becomes the starter in Columbus one day.

He's 184 cm and Shesterkin is 185 cm...

Apparently that's too short to make it in the NHL. Or so I've been told.

Yeah, and Saros is 179... Him and Igor apparently shouldn't be in the NHL but they still somehow play in the league and don't look that bad.

As a CBJ fan, him flying under the radar, developing and excelling in the KHL for a few years is fine by me.

Yeah, it looks like he's going to be 1G for Sochi, not bad for a 20 year old kid. On the other hand the second guy is Zavragin who is even younger, and compared to him Ivanov is a KHL veteran.

 

[tunnelvision]

Stopped 35/36 shots in the game and denied 9/10 shootout attempts in a 2-1 win vs Spartak.

Solid start to the season.

Yeah, Spartak's fans cried they couldn't score like half a dozen 100% chances. I'm pretty sure partly because of Ivanov.
