It was a good, difficult initial shot, goalie lost track of rebound because of the difficulty, and Kravtsov picked up the rebound before the defender could clear it. That was a nice hard work goal.
Following up your shot for a rebound goal is never a bad goal IMO. Tracking the play and and not drifting behind the net.

I always hear the "That's not a goal in the NHL" argument and then think of the endless parade of embarrassing goals we see each year in the NHL
Did I miss the memo on NHL goalies being allowed to teleport?
false. I have seen this type of goal happen every few games in the NHL and not talking about NHL 21

Hi folks, nice to see Vitaly back in business again. Thank you for the Clip and the comparison to last season.
He obviously had a tough time adjusting to North America to begin with but it looks like it hasn’t affected his growth.
Hopefully he continues on this trajectory and is able to be successful when he’s back with your Team next year, after he’s done with Traktor.
Would be great to see him break out.
(That’s Kappo on the right).
So much potential with your prospects.
Cheers
edit: sorry for misspelling Kappo

Was that Kravtsov on the rebound or the guy that took a shot? Initially I didn't think anyone got the rebound and the shot was what went in. How often do you see a shot hit a goalies shoulder and go in the net like that?

Kravtsov shot, goalie saved it, puck bounces over him, Kravtsov tracks the puck through a crowd and then taps it in. That's a really nice goal considering the effort that goes into it.

Do we have to nitpick everything here? Actually don't answer that.

There should be a comma after actually.

It was a good play by Kravtsov and awful defense and goaltending. The vast majority of the time in the NHL that play is completely forgettable and he would have just been rubbed out on the boards on the left side. Instead number 88 goes up to him and...spins away?
How are we possibly debating that goal?
He makes a great stutter-step move around the defenseman, pulls a sleek toe-drag and goes straight to the net to follow up on his own rebound.
That sequence is a perfect demonstration of his bag of tricks.

You stay in the play, and get the puck on goal, and good things happen --- even if sometimes it's good fortune rather than amazing skill.
That's how you want your young players to play, instead of giving up on the play.
Perfectly fine with me.

Someone on Twitter responded "I can't believe he was just coasting past the crease"
Makes me want to respond to them, "Yes, as oppossed to wandering around the neutral zone aimlessly."

I think it's also a pointless argument. Lots of the goals scored in Canadian juniors won't happen in the NHL yet people drool over kids dipsy doodling all over the ice.
The important thing is that he does well in the context of where he's playing. He can't do anything else right now...it's not like he should just not shoot the puck because "well I just walked that guy but a NHL defenseman might stop me there so I should go back and try something else instead"
It will always be a transition to the NHL no matter where a prospect or player is coming from, even the AHL. The only important thing right now is that Kravtsov plays well and succeeds where he is currently at. When he comes back to the NHL he will have to adjust to the different style of game but the confidence and skills he practices in the KHL will help make that transition easier.

The KHL is the second best league in the world. This isn't the ECHL. If he's walking professional KHLers he will be walking SOME NHLers.

If they can fit him under the cap, sure. But I doubt they can, early on due to the performance bonuses
