Hey, I saw a video on TV talking about WJC canadian teams. At the end they showed a few saves by Andrei Medvedev. I went on Hockey DB and he doesn't have any stats for the seasons after 2002-2003. Does anybody have any news of him? Maybe playing in weaker leagues or something.

Well... Who cares at this point?

He's chosen his way. Great talent belonged to one of the laziest players in the world. Now he plays in night league (non-pofessional one) and as i heard he is happy

Does anyone have any update on how Konstantin Barulin is looking over there?

Any idea of his intentions as far as coming to North America?

P_B

He is simply not good enough for the NHL at this point and time, and would probably require more than one year in the AHL to ever be of any help to the Blues. To put it into perspective, he is currently playing second fiddle to a former AHL starter and part-time NHL backup in Vitaly Kolesnik. That being said, I think a transition to the AHL is best for him - as his development seems to have been slown by not having a starting job this year.

Many thanks, combine81. That link is most helpful.

I am, however, having a little trouble deciphering some of the statistics shown there. Please help me work my way through this, and correct any errors I've made.

Here's a copy of Barulin's stat line as of 9:34 AM Central Time on November 10, 2006:

№ Вратари И Ис Г А О Ш Шп Мин сек Кн "0" Ип В Н П
57 Барулин Константин 12 6 0 0 0 4 15 515 3 1,75 0 5 3 1 1

"Г А О Ш" are Goals, Assists, Points and Penalty Minutes, respectively. Barulin has no goals, no assists, no points, and 4 penalty minutes.

I've figured out that "Мин сек" is Minutes/Seconds, so Barulin has played 515:03. That, divided by 60 minutes, is a base number of 8.58 games played. So I'm assuming that "И" equals Games Played In, which would be 12, and "Ис" equals Games Started, which would be 6.

"Шп" is Goals Against, which is 15. 15/8.58 = 1,75, so "Кн" is the Goals-Against Average. "0" would seem to mean Shutouts, and there's no number in that column at your linked site, so my assumption is that Barulin has no shutouts for Khimik.

"Ип В Н П" are, I'm assuming, Wins, Losses, Ties and Overtime Losses, respectively. If this assumption is correct, Barulin has 5 wins, 3 losses, a tie, and an overtime loss.

While looking for context, I went to www.rushockey.com. The most recent info there shows that Barulin had played three games (129:05), and allowed four goals for a GAA of 1.86 and a save percentage of 92.59. Working back from the save percentage and goals against, I calculated that Barulin had faced 54 shots and stopped 50 of them (50/54 = .9259 ) at that time.

129:05/60 = 2.15. 54/2.15 = 24.186 shots against per 60 minutes played in the three games show on Barulin's rushockey.com stat line.

Assuming that number remained fairly constant, I would expect to see somewhere in Barulin's Cyrillic stat line a number somewhere around 207 (24.186 shots against per 60 minutes played times 8.58), to represent the shots against. I didn't see that, so my assumption is that the Cyrillic stat line does not include a Shots Against or Saves statistic. Is there any place where that information can be obtained?

Thanks for reviewing this, and for any other help you can offer.

Sorry for late reply.
I'm not sure with all И Ип so on Somebody will correct you. But i know that В Н П equal to "Wins, Ties, Losses". So that is one mistake i see in your post.

Wasn't he a draft pick of the Calgary Flames?

What a waste of talent.

 

[JEI]

Any news on Kulemin? What his future outlook in the NHL? Type of player is he?

I always remembered Medvedev as being, shall we say, fat. Now he's fat and happy.

He's been always fat. But it never prevented him from playing well.

Hello Russian hockey fans,

Could anyone give me some input on this kid? I've searched everywhere but can only seem to find old information on this Ducks prospect.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks in advance!

Spent last season in Spartak Moscow but then had to leave the team 'cause there were no team anymore. He didn't find a team in the RSL and is playing for Voskresensk (Vysshaya liga).
This year stats: 26 games, 3g+9a, 36pen.
As for last seasons in Spartak... he couldn't find his game. Was not good in defence and not good in offence anymore (when he was young and came to Spartak school from Dynamo he was a forward). According to what i've seen during last seasons, I really doubt that he has a chance to play in the NHL.
