GDT: Game 7 - SKA vs Torpedo - September 21 10am EST

[CaptnNemo]

Makes a great shot..hits the post..creates premium chances on the ice which nobody can bury...hits like a truck...draws 2 penalties and all this with limited time because of that moron...

Yet he's the best player on ice both teams included.

Get him the f over here ASAP!

 

[sukimono]

Maxime Létourneauov ?

Cool. 4-3. We can at least get an empty netter maybe

 

[Redux91]

4-3 SKA

gotta say i love making Rottenburg sweat man

 

[Next Best Thing]

All I know is Kuznetsov cost him 2 points. Man that non-pass really irks me, how did you not see a wide open wingman 2 ft from in front of you? Selfish pos.

Aaaaand 4-3, a one goal game lol

Now I want to see a tie just because.

 

[sukimono]

Coach saw Demidov was on the ice and blew the whistle himself

 

[KevSkillz4]

Rottenburg is the perfect fit to Kloten team, dumpfire coach with dumpfire team. Even if SKA looks dumpfire aswell because of Drugsznetsov.

 

[Redux91]

hurry up and winnnn i gotta peeeeeee

 

[Habs]

Is it law that Russian last names end in 'OV' ?

 

[Redux91]

Lol now I have to question ol Igor's choice of pulling the goalie with 3 mins left...

... in a 4-3 game lol...

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

pretty crazy ending to the game lol

 

[Redux91]

Ska goalie exhausted lmao

 

[HomaridII]

Is it law that Russian last names end in 'OV' ?

Yes OV and EV are possessive endings.

It means belonging to, same as female names ending in OVA for the most part. So Ivanov means belonging to Ivan, so whomever last name is Ivanov, his father's name is likely Ivan.

Same as if you see a Russian with a last name ending in ski, it means they have noble ancestry.

 

[Habano]

Rottingbrain has such a punchable face

 

[Kennerback]

Demidov: TOI: 11:29. 3 SOG. 3 Hits (most on team).

I liked the move it's so modern compared to most Russian coaches.

 

[CaptnNemo]

Yeah he looks just like California's governor..an other punchable face!

 

[sukimono]

Yes!!!!!

 

[KevSkillz4]

Thanks god we don't drafted Rottenburg instead of Demidov.

 

[WeThreeKings]

Crazy how many impact offensive plays he made with less than 12 minutes on the ice.

INteresting , thanks. All the 'ski' I know are Ukranian

I think he's fine with the amount he's playing. PP included. He could get more but I don't think it will affect his development.

On a side note, you can see Rothenberg puts some element of meritocracy in who he puts out on the ice, but there's a lot of deference to veterans whether they are playing well or not. Much more so than you would expect in say an NHL or AHL team.

 

[Rapala]

For sure. The way he's been playing you just know he'd get his minutes.

I wish he was playing for Igor who would play him because he is special and would actually enjoy seeing more.

Yes and still could have finished with 1g 1a at the end of the night.

They are f***ing with the player's psyche.
When you are making moves that every professional team in a better league wouldn't make what does that say?
Teams in the NHL would be feeding him more rope the way he is playing not less.

Rotenberg sure seems to be playing with your psyche.

I think Demidov is fine and having to step up his game regularly to get his icetime is not going to hurt his development, on the contrary.
