Nice, glad to see Kasutin getting cut. I didn't know Malkin played last game.

Anybody saw the Sw-Rus game??

 

[CSKA]

Parchin o yeeeeeeeeeees ! I saw him a couple of times this year and he looked bad IMO ! To small , def to small. He can fly but thats it.

 

[CSKA]

So Malkin will wear number 17 this year ? or hes own number 71 ? Anybody knows ?

Parshin isn't small if you meant his height. He has small frame and his weight is too low. That's it. When and if he will gain it he will be superb player but right now, yes. He can't handle physical pressure. Btw - he was OK when I've seen him.

Ketov over Parshin? Is ok what you said kaizer, but............

Ketov over Parshin? Is ok what you said kaizer, but............

I understand. Ketov looks like a "lost kid" in this roster. He was selected over Bumagin ( ), Krysanov and Trukhno and now over Parshin and Shytikov

what happened to Istomin?

 

[Form and Substance]

Parshin is 5'8 or 5'9, isn't that small? Unless he grew a couple of inches.

I'm no expert on the Russian team, but from what little I've seen of the goalies, Varlamov looked like the best of the three goalies battling it out. Is Khudobin the perceived starter?

 

[VanNistelrooy]

Do Emelin will be the best Russian defensemen this year ?

I love seeing those two Sens Prospects producing. Lyamin and Zubov
