GDT: Game 4 - SKA vs Traktor - Thurs Sept 12 12:30 EST

[Matthew McConaughay]

He doesn't stay very long on the ice,

 

[overlords]

Damn I feel bad for Grits...

he get injured? or is he playing with #17? I only just tuned in.

 

[morhilane]

A french Canadian is the coach of the Traktor ?

Groulx was one of the coach Habs apparently appoached to coach the Rocket after Houle left. Not sure if he had the deal with Traktor already or he took it after he failed to get the Rocket job.

 

[Rapala]

No he's forced to play with Kuznetsov and won't get to touch the puck like he's been used to.

 

[bonneaug]

First time watching KHL... It's so slow & bad

Flag girls are cool tho

Was a pretty good AHL coach for tampa

Yeah the games are total slogs , I'm suprised russians don't just watch NHL , are they even allowed

 

[Ieatsht4brkfst]

the guy cant even make a 2 foot pass to demidov going behind the net, this is LOL bad

What's crazy to me is just how approximative things are

4 out 5 passes are just pucks sent "in the general area" of where their teammates are.. Just so messy

 

[overlords]

I can't get enough of these terrifying ref microphones

To make things worse SKA are a terrible team IMO.
It reminds me of the Habs a couple of seasons ago when we couldn't execute two consecutive passes.

 

[montreal]

I think SKA has an NHL size ice.

The KHL switched to NHL size rinks a few years back

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

Yo this Russian Nirvana cover goes so hard

Yeah that entire space between the first row of seats and the glass to make room for them Slays me.

Yeah it’s Benoit Groulx that used to coach TB AHL team

 

[overlords]

good shift by demi there. Might just be my own bias but I feel like he's less keen to pass today.

I had to look up who #21 was after that sweet cross ice back hand pass. Is this Nikishin's first game back from an injury?

I believe so since he was wearing the C , unless he and Kutz alternate it

 

[Rapala]

The fact they gave Kuz the C right off the bat, of all people, should've set some alarm bells.

They've stripped him of it apparently.

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

Scoring chance created by demi nice entry nice dish to the slot

 

[overlords]

sick pass by demi just now, his linemate shanks it

 

[KevSkillz4]

It's time to negociating a transfer in NHL.

 

[Canadienna]

It's time to negociating a transfer in NHL.

I'd love it, but I have to think this is what Hughes/Gorton expected.

Maybe he gets demidemoted to the VHL, or maybe he just slowly gains some ice time over the year.

Either way it seems like that ship has sailed until his season is done.

 

[G0bias]

Feels like Demidov playing with Anderson and Gallagher out there. That was a cheeky pass

They were a top 3 teams in the KHL last year...

Feels like Demidov playing with Anderson and Gallagher out there

He is on the 4th line.

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

Lol @ this pp

HOLY SMOKES DID HE SAVE THAT

 

[overlords]

save of the year


(and it's not even the year yet)
