[Mrb1p]

That d was so bad

 

[Mrb1p]

That d was so bad

Gotta give credit to Kravtsov. Look at the move he pulled on that pinching winger, thats amazing, it's not solely on bad play, he was going for the 50/50 puck battle but Kravtsov swooped in way too fast and way too slick. The second D should've been way more aggresive but he still looked bad because Vitaly has some amazing tools.

An NHLer would have splattered him at the blueline.

It feels like he does everything in slow motion (that's a positive, not a knock).

Oh man cuz that move was so smooth haha.

There are plenty of poor defensemen in the league and sometimes good defensemen make poor plays. That argument is silly.

Why the hate? It was a dirty move and I’m sure he only did that because it was the KHL. Every prospect has dirty dangles in their respective league that wouldn’t work at the NHL level and they adapt/know not to try that in the NHL

No hate. I just think in the NHL, that guy goes for the hit and VK could have been smoked. He is a great prospect and was one f the guys I was hoping Philly got at #14.

NYR got a good one,

The argument reminds me of when people say "XYZ player won't score on an NHL goalie like that". If you add the word consistently that would be correct, but even the best of the best goalies give up bad goals. You can't bank on the guy making a living off scoring weak goals but that doesn't mean that they don't happen in the NHL. Plus you could still see Kravtsov's skill on that play. Finally, If we take away all of the goals scored in lower leagues that won't work in the NHL there will be few left.

An NHL'er would've not made such an ill-advised pass to him.

Very valid point.

Remember when people said this stuff about Sergachev? Like, all the time.

Lo and behold, he's actually good.

Kravstov trying his best to make Traktor score goals.

Kravstov trying his best to make Traktor score goals.

Lmao his team sucks. Impressive that he is already such an impact player in the KHL at 18.

 

[MitchMurphy]

Looks like he's going to be a good one for the Rangers.

 

[Lays]

Wish SKA trades Rykov to Traktor so they actually get a Dman who can move the puck. Traktor f-ing blows, Kravtsov is their most dynamic/lethal offensive threat. He’s a threat on every shift and can make plays happen out of no where. Doubt he’s going to put up a ton of points on Traktor like Tolvanen did last year

 

[Atas2000]

Coaching change is imminent. The team just bombs.

 

[Irishguy42]

He's been an offensive force once again.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

He's been an offensive force once again.

 

[Irishguy42]

Thanks, not sure what happened with my c&p job there.

Kravtsov and Panarin are going to be quiet a combo for the Rangers.

I see what you did there.
