I remember when Kravtsov was our most skilled forward prospect! Boy Kakko and Lafreniere blew that out.

I met Yashin at work one time a couple years ago. He was super tall and lanky.

Can’t believe no one here wished Vitali happy 21st birthday! Stay healthy, score a ton of goals this year and celebrate with an occasional beer when in US afterwards!

Traktor is still down during the first commercial break in the 2nd. Getting extended men advantage. First were able to keep the puck and work 6 on 5, then solid 5 on 4 and at the very end Red Stars take another penalty. Traktor had its chances but no actual result. Their overall PP efficiency for the season is not this good at just over 18%
Kravtsov made a couple of good plays to extend offensive zone possession.

OMG What a goal by Kravtsov to tie!
Down the right side going 1 on 1 against defeseman with a between the legs puck move to go around him and then a backhander over goalie shoulder to roof the puck into the net. Gorgeous!

I’m always a Kravtsov advocate when people critique the goaltending on his goals, but man alive was that bad goaltending. Yikes.
Beautiful move though.

Yeah I know, and when he did he was excoriated. When one of our forwards does it, it's filthy. Just an amusing dichotomy.Well, he has

Here's a bit of a context.
Earlier goal from Sedlak's was exactly the same right side / between the legs move but he took the puck to the front of the net. Then another Traktor's forward did exactly the same move and unsuccessfully tried to score by taking the puck to the middle of paint. What made Kravtsov goal "legit" is that he realized that goalie would try to cheat to the middle of the net and went high over his shoulder.
I'm not criticizing it. It was a great shot, to be able to place the puck like that coming in on the backhand. Smart play, well-executed. Good on him. Getting pucks on net is a good thing. I'm also a fan of surprise shots from tough angles.
I still think it's funny that when our guys do it it's awesome, when our guys allow them they need to be pulled immediately and benched for several games.
