Video with a goal for anyone who haven't seen it. And for Paxton Fettel, who should watch his language next time.

Does Zaitsev look like NHL ready? Hope he'll move to NA the next season.

I hope this stops someday. How can ppl hope the best players will go away?

I could never understand why its such wonderful news that a player will be leaving Russia to play 7,000 miles away for some oil man from Calgary. I just don't get it~

 

[russianhockey]

the 1st period was crazy!!! ice hockey on the highest level

 

[ozo]

Terrible defending by Chudinov on the Lyubimov goal.

 

[Dueling Banjos]

Pretty much game over.

 

[Dueling Banjos]

It's alive!

Glad they got it eventhough i root for CSKA.

 

[tohaa]

lol, ref eliminates both Kovalchuk and Dadonov on the backcheck for Radulov's ENG.

 

[Dueling Banjos]

3:0

Time for SKA to check Kings' 14/15 play off games against Sharks.

 

[Chileiceman]

That empty net goal was hilarious. Dadonov and Kovalchuk just run over the referee leaving Zharkov a clear path to the net.

I don't know how referees put up with Kovalchuk. He is the biggest whiner I have ever seen.

Anyways, hopefully it's a sweep.

 

[habsrule4eva3089]

I have not seen a worse sore loser in World Sport then Kovalchuk. He is an embarrassment to the game now. Not only are his skills diminishing yearly but his brain is too.

He needs to see a sports psychologist asap.

One must applaud the job Federov has done with CSKA. They were really bad for a long time, but have made a dramtic climb since he became GM.

 

[Exarz]

CSKA is a beast, that is all.

It's more about Kvartalnov than Fedorov.

 

[Atas2000]

Looking at Lyubimov replacing Da Costa on the top line and becoming a beast - Kvartalnov is a genius. Always seems to make the right move.

 

[Chileiceman]

Is Da Costa hurt? Or is he just scratched?

 

[Atas2000]

Is Da Costa hurt? Or is he just scratched?

Injured, close to returning though according to Kvartalnov a few days ago.

 

[WeAre]

Biggest reason why SKA is 3-0 down against CSKA is Ilya Kovalchuk. Better luck next time SKA. Hundreds million dollars spent over years and nothing but pile of **** in return. Maybe players, coaches, Roman, staff should look at the mirror.

Roman: what do you think about Ilya Kovalchuk now? You said bad thing in media about Steve Moses, Linus Omark etc. How about Kovy?

you kidding me? Fedorov was insisting on keeping Torcietti as a head-coach. He was forced to fire him and hire Kvartalnov by CSKA veterans. So no reason to give him the largest piece of the pie here. Had it been up to him - Torcietti is still the coach and we are fighting for 6-8th spot in the west.

So I see the refs have been told to make sure this series goes more than four games.

 

[loppa*]

So I see the refs have been told to make sure this series goes more than four games.

I'm not watching, but, I think it would be good that it goes to four games regardless. For example, is it nicer to win a series away or at home? Hence, if the series goes to five games, and CSKA wins, then for them that is nice because they would win at home. And, it may help their attendance figures?

I suppose that using this logic, seven game series are the best, but, I hope it will be over in five in this case.

 

[QnebO]

Just tuned in to see the end. How has the game been?

CSKA is too good to lose 4 times in a row, so.. it's kinda pointless most likely. But hopefully ska guys don't consider about quiting, as they ofc shouldn't

 

[malkinfan]

Highlights in English if you haven't seen them yet. May only be available in CAN-USA, I don't know.

 

[Finnpin]

CSKA thought that it's over already and had day off. You can't win in KHL with day offs.
