GDT: SKA vs Severstal - October 5, 10:00 AM EST

What's his TOI through 2? Probably didn't see anything after the goal against that was the goalie's fault?

 

[Frankenheimer]

Where are people getting real time TOI from? Thanks

 

[McGuires Corndog]

He counts as a U20 forward for the team and Rotenberg has taken the comments about Demidov's usage personally, so this is what we get, unfortunately.

Surely they could add another U20 player via trade that may fit into their plans longer term with a team that may want the offensive jolt and star power Demidov brings?

I usually get it from the SKA site but it seems to be down today. Maybe Rottingbrain's rich father should pay the bills for his son's team lol

 

[Redux91]

Would sure be a looooooot of fun is SKA went on like a 8 game losing streak
C'mon baby

 

[TheYardMachine]

The KHL is a clown league sadly

Would be fun to manage to get him in MTL this year but my hopes are low

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

He's going to destroy our rookie camp next year , Rotenberg is creating a mamba monster.... he's about to take it personally...

If there's one kid I want with a chip on his shoulder from everything I've heard and seen from him...its this one

1000%

He is going to be the talk of all rookie camp + training camp + NHL preseason next season

Easily, it's going to be such much fun having such crazy good noise about one of our kids

That's what's so funny about this situation: it's not like it's 'oh man, we made the wrong puck! He stinks!'
This purely a usage situation
So while it is obviously frustrating
The alternative that he could be a bust is WAAAAAY worse , but he is 'so' not

So we just gotta bide our time sadly

Yessss 4-2, eat shit Roman

 

[Habano]

Nice! SKA down 4-2

 

[Redux91]

Good
Rottenburg loses

If only he had some kind of gifted offensive weapon at his disposal when you're down a goal late in the 3rd!
If only!!!

Get fired loser. Plz lose 10 straight plz plz plzzz come on gods

 

[Licou]

Question for those who follow the KHL closely:

Are there teams that are actually well managed or is it all about political bullshit through and through?

He can only fight with the army he has

They knew Demidov’s icetime would be microscopic. No point giving more fuel to the mob overseas.

 

[1909]

If they don’t play him, why not send him down to the VHL ? Ot do like they have done with Michkov and lend him to another KHL club ? What a waste of talent !

I have a hard time believing Igor Larionov would be treating him this way...

What did he say?

 

[Tyson]

When you are the team's 3rd leading scorer and are getting 4 minutes of ice time, it's no longer about winning, it's about not using players who don't want to play in the KHL beyond their contract. This season will fly by. What I would like to see is SKA not making the playoffs and Demidov tearing up the VHL.

 

[le_sean]

What a giant POS. You’re a KHL coach man, you’re not as important as you think.

 

[WeThreeKings]

What did he say?

That it's not about the name of the player, that Minsk was a good team (they're not) and they couldn't afford to use him much. Just a bunch of fabricated nonsense.

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

Bobrov is on the first plane to St. Petersburg with a briefcase full of cash personally filled by Geoff Molson

Man, this is gonna turn into some big soap opera. Could make a movie!

 

[MTL Dirty Birdy]

If they don’t play him, why not send him down to the VHL ? Ot do like they have done with Michkov and lend him to another KHL club ? What a waste of talent !

Being in his last year I don’t think they’re allowed to loan him out

 

[Skip Bayless]

Send Liam Neeson to bring him back

 

[Walksss]

Well I like to pretend he's in his D+1 in the NCAA where he'd only play once a week anyways, that way I don't get so upset.

Just stay healthy and the year will be over soon enough.

 

[Kobe Armstrong]

I'm using my stop watch

 

[Kobe Armstrong]

I wonder if Falkovsky ever wants to come to the NHL

Would be fun to have Slafkovsky and Falkovsky

Plus he's 6"9 250lbs
