Can’t leave your feet like that in Europe.

Thought it was more the forearm to the face, but either way...

Or in the NHL. That indicates more of the intent, as opposed to saying the high contact was inadvertent. That hit would be a suspension in the NHL, but if his feet stayed on the ice, it would probably just be a 2 minute penalty.

That is a suspension in the NHL depending on his luck when it comes to the Wheel Of Justice.

Also, who did he hit and if the player was hurt or not would come into play there.

I read that as " high stick" at first

 

[Chainshot]

We know he has a bit of a temper, so I wonder if this was retaliation for something earlier.

He's such an interesting inclusion in our prospect pool! Keep it up!

Maybe you can help here, but I'm really surprised that the players names on the jerseys are using Roman spellings rather than Cyrillic. I'm sure the reason why has to do with business/money, but I'm not understanding it.

Any concrete ideas to explain it? Sorry if you've explained it elsewhere.

Could it be the folks doing the jersey lettering?

I doubt it would be so hard to retool upon request. I think some of the video of Poltapov I saw last year had Cyrillic, but that was a different league, IIRC.

I'd think it's more likely fans outside Russia buying the jerseys, but that's not likely to be a huge market either. I'm puzzled.

Kunlan Red Star is based in China, so this is technically an international game which triggers the use of Latin lettering.

In the KHL, each team has all surnames using Roman. Whether it's a Russian team, Belarusian or Chinese. There used to be Finns and Slovaks.

Bump....Anything new on this guy. Russians are always difficult to follow. Stats don't always tell the story like Podkozlin with 2 goals in 35 games in the KHL when drafted as an example.

When is he predicted to come to NA?

His contract in Russia runs through the end of '24-25 so unless he buys his way out of it, he's going to be far.

 

[Ace]

Like I said a long time ago…just forget about this guy until 2025. We’ll see what’s what then.
