That's the most aggravating thing I've read this week.
It's only Monday, give it a chance.

He never coached Buchnevich. That was Rangers legend Sergei Zubov.
Znarok is a lot like AV though. Very "old-school" mentality to coaching. Loves his grinders, goes with veterans over good younger players. He has "his players", and if you aren't part of that group of players, you probably won't play or in the case of the Russian National Team, won't be called in.
well WTF is the point of that, if you're going to waste your asset instead of using it, there's no point in preventing an NHL team from taking them. Might as well get 100% of whatever you canA lot of Russian coaches and execs like to hide young talent on lower lines in hopes that they won't come to North America and play in the NHL. It's been a practice for years since players started defecting.
They hide them when they're 18, 19, 20. Younger. Then when they get a longer commitment the guys get more of a chance. Once they've given that initial commitment and settled into the league, then it is harder for the NHL teams to pluck them out. I don't see it happening as much as it used to though. There's too much scouting, and the players know what's up.well WTF is the point of that, if you're going to waste your asset instead of using it, there's no point in preventing an NHL team from taking them.

Shest not playing again in game 3. He needs to rip up his contract and come over next season. What a ****ing waste.
Didn't he need to give notice like months and months ago if he were to terminate the contract? I'm sure it would have leaked if true.
Pretty sure Rangers can step in and buyout the contract.
SKA up 3-0 in series.
Our defenseman, Yegor , also got the least amount of ice time among the EIGHT defesenmen who played.
Love this coach.
Hmm interesting. Did this change or has it always been this way?They cannot. A player has to buy out their own contract.

I’m sure there are rules in place but it also makes me wonder why Rangers can’t just offer to cover him the money in his signing bonus?
Well, his team is an absolute juggernaut. You could cut half the roster and they'd still easily make the playoffs. It's kind of like a "just stay out of the way" thing. I don't personally see much to be upset about with Shesterkin and Rykov, but the coach isn't infallible and I can understand why others are upset.Sounds like he's doing a great job. Coached the team to a strong regular season and now they are on the cusp of a playoff sweep. Hard to argue with that.

Lol, yeah such a shitty coach.. coaching his way to a 3-0 series lead. What an idiot that coach is.SKA up 3-0 in series.

Really interesting twitter thread here by a respected Russian hockey writer on how the KHL this season (and SKA specifically) has been one massive Putin propaganda tool. Sucks that Shestyorkin and Rykov are in the middle of this, the league is a joke.
That's nuts if true.
I've seen Russian posters say that Malamud isn't a very reliable source, but he certainly puts together a solid argument here.
