ive seen him play like twice. I thought this guy damn good. He has speed, and skill. Potential 2nd liner.
Jag68Vlady27 said:Afinogenov may not be faster without the puck, but he's probably faster than Koltsov with it. And there really are two types of fast in hockey...with and without the puck. That's what made Pavel Bure so incredible: His speed with the puck. That's what makes Ilya Kovalchuk so incredible. That's what will lift Pens fans out of their seats about Sidney Crosby.
I doubt Koltsov could match Sidney's speed if he had to also control a puck.
Again, I'm not knocking Koltsov...but there are different measures of hockey speed in my view.
