Player Discussion: Kirill Marchenko thread

[Caser]

Bob was from Siberia too. Maybe we need more Siberians. Any Siberian coaches available?

Not only Bob, but of course Tarasov too, as well as Nikita Nikitin and the legendary Alexander Svitov (apparently he can be also the coaching candidate you are looking for).

The "Russian" thing didn't go well on twitter, maybe indeed they should better try "Siberian" lol.

You'd think it wouldn't be that hard to mentally separate people who are Russian from the Russian govt or its actions.

Seems like a lot of “respectful” comments came from Latvians who weren’t too kind to their own Elvis very recently.

It gets easier the further away from Russia you live. To their neighbors (which some in the comments are from) the difference is not much for obvious reasons.

Trans-Siberian line is the obvious choice, and nobody would hate it except some confused conservatives

Haha you can't make that zoo bit up, that's hilarious!

Lol all the zoo jokers are going to have to eat their words. It turns out it's a big draw!

Such a great fit between the team and Kirill. He's become our most responsible young player and we also appreciate his fun personality.

They love animals eh? With a new long-term contract with nice signing bonus they could buy land somewhere in Central Ohio and have a farm there?
