GDT: SKA vs Lokomotiv - October 7, 12:00 PM EST

[Licou]

I don't think he's fireable, if this Wikipedia page is anyhow accurate, lol

Roman Rotenberg - Wikipedia

I know we have many problems over here, but man... reading this wiki page makes you remember what a country Russia is.

And unfortunately, they are not the funny kind of clowns most of the time...

If hope he scores on his lone shift in an act of defiance.

 

[Sasha Orlov]

[MarkJ]

So half a shift. Nice!

 

[Zine]

He’ll get the President and the GM fired not the other way around.

And the building could be empty and the concessions stands could all be shut down because they suck, it doesn’t matter. The bulk of funding comes from sponsorship money not running a profitable hockey team.

lol If it gets that bad, the president of SKA would axe Rotenberg in a heartbeat. The dude is also the president of FC Zenit.

 

[Trembz]

This is a joke. If this continues for a few more games, Hughes will hopefully live up to his word and explore the options. Sure it's good to practice and travel with a pro team, but the kid needs to play and continue to build confidence.

 

[Habano]

He played 7 shifts for 5:17 in the 1st and 1 shift for 14 seconds in the 2nd lol. He's at 5:31 toi so far.

As far as I can see Gazprom owns the team. FC Zenit guy will jump if Gazprom tells him to jump. You can tell me if you think Gazprom would allow Rotenberg to be fired, for example, if he lost too many games?

Does that implicate a cloack n dagger Bobrov infiltration of Russia and a briefcase full of cash?

 

[Hannibal]

I stand by me prediction. I dont know how, but by christmas, Demidov will be in NA.

 

[The Great Weal]

This is so f***ing dumb. We got a bluechip prospect not getting any ice time in the KHL when our NHL team has Joel Armia on the 2nd line.

 

[WentWughes]

This is madness. Get him out of there asap.

By whatever means necessary

Loukanikos tie it up on the 5 on 3

The President of both SKA and Zenit is the Deputy Chairman of Gazprom's Management Committee.....basically deputy CEO.

Yes Rotenberg is gone if SKA completely tanks. But that's unlikely, he has countless money and resources at his disposal. It's a joke.

But there are limits. Recall Rotenberg (and any undue influence by SKA) was thoroughly marginalized and bypassed by all of Russian hockey for the 2022 olympics.

He already said that he's ok to report to Laval if he has too. It seems like a no-brainer to me, unless he can get a trade in the KHL.

KHL account is trolling.
