I joke about Tankov and hey it's basically the AHL of the KHL but it really is nice to see the guy back at it after such a scary injury last season.

Also that was a pretty sweet goal.

I’ve learned body weight doesn’t really matter that much in hockey. And muscle mass doesn’t correlate with on-ice ability or longevity (Bjorkqvist, Kessel). And 18-19 year olds don’t need to do sloppy summer bulks.

Hockey isn’t football.

that's true. I should have said strength, which usually correlates with weight. and yager needs to add some.

The season is underway for the Pens' Russian prospects. Murashov with a bit of a rough start with .872% in 3 games in the MHL. Ilyin has 2 points in 3 games in the KHL. Tankov has 4 points in 4 games in the VHL.

Not that the KHL makes any sense, but wouldn’t you think Murashov would get bumped up to the K after last year, or does his parent team have the Russian equivalent to a Belfour/Hasek tandem in front of him?

Not Belfour/Hasek, more like Chiodo/Aubin.

I expected him to move up to the VHL, like where Tankov is. His KHL team has 2 veteran goalies signed through this season, he only got a game last year because both were out I think.

I don't know though, maybe they don't have a VHL affiliate? Or maybe they're swamped with goalies.

I mispoke or misread, their more-or-less starting goalie is only 23 and signed through 24-25.

 

[Jacob]

Ilyin with a PP assist today. He's by far the leading point-getter of all Russians drafted in this past draft, which includes several 1st rounders, and in fact the only one with a KHL goal.

 

[Randy Butternubs]

Murashov actually had a 0.800 sv% after the first two games, so he's improving. I started to watch his third game but then Dynamo kept taking penalties and I never saw him even face a shot attempt.

 

[WickedWrister]

Severstal Cherepovets has a better powerplay than we do. #99. Nice to see he has a decent sense for pressure and isn't a spaz with the puck.

I know Ilyin has been projected by most as a third liner type but his offensive instincts have been very impressive in what admittedly little I've seen.

Some very intelligent and smart people were comparing him to Coyotes first rounder Danill But.

Actually no

@Big Friggin Dummy was actually being a big smarty genius and immediately recognized Ilyns great potential.

It was me and not some random prospect-obsessed guy on twitter. This is correct.

I'm extremely disappointed in your planning.

We've actually got nothing to do now til our dinner reservation at 6. So perhaps I'll actually get to watch a small bit.

Foster a better skater than anticipated

2-0. Hard to fault Blomqvist on that one. Total pressure by the Bruins and a tap in back door.

2-1. Great individual effort by #47 Sam Houde. Drove hard to the net, puck found him for a rebound a moment later and he cashed in. Assist from Corey Andonovski.
