And he will ride the pine in the next game likely.

Another shutout? So boring.

I'm excited to get him over here so that Allaire can use his Midas touch.

I had to use Google Translate which wasn't great, but if I read it right, sounds like he's pretty much warming the bench for the entire season, won't be traded to another KHL team, and won't be released from his contract.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

honestly him not playing alot might be better for us, i would have liked him to get 40 starts and most likely he was coming over the pond next year but if he only plays 20 games you can bet he will be in north america next season

The reason he's not going to get more starts is because he'll be in the NHL next year.

Yeah, he is f***ed.

Well the article didn't exactly say that they're sitting Rykov because he's coming over to the NHL next season. They simply said that he was making mistakes which dropped him on the depth chart.

With that said, though, it's certainly implied that they're sitting him because he's coming over next season....

 

[nyr2k2]

I've said a few times this year that it was definitely possible that SKA was not totally happy with Rykov's game and that's why he wasn't playing, IN ADDITION to the contract status and his imminent departure. This article seems to lend credence to that idea. I mean the guy averaged 12:30 past year so it's not like he was a staple in the top four getting big minutes.

SKA, as the article states, is pretty stacked defensively. Rykov definitely should be playing somewhere, though it sounds like he needs to tighten up his game as well.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Starts today against Loko.

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

 

[The Crypto Guy]

2-0 SKA after 2. Shest hasnt given up a goal in 5+ periods. Stopped 16 so far today.

 

[LaffyTaffy]

Igbore Shestborekin strikes again. Two shutouts in a row. 26 saves.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Shest with the back to back shutouts stopping all 26 shots

Played a very good team today as well, Loko who were 6-2 to start the season.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Stats after 4 games:

4-0-0
.961 save % (Tied 1st in KHL)
1.00 GAA (1st in KHL)
2 Shutouts (Tied in 1st in KHL)

*Minimum of 4 games played.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Might as well scrap all of those stats. Bitter Steve Valiquette had a bad time in the KHL, and will set everyone straight that his play is all a fluke.

 

[Tawnos]

I know that the KHL is a development league and therefore has no motivation to develop players they think will come to NA, but doesn't that work both ways? Perhaps more players would stay if they were treated well.

Not that I want Rykov or Shesterkin or Kravtsov to stay over there... but it seems like short-sighted logic.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

The only update that needs to be given is whether or not he is getting the start.

IF he's playing, shutouts should be assumed.

Hey, I have a trademark on Igbore Shestborkin

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Isn't it the job of the coaches to play your best players? Are they really sitting him because he'll play in the NHL next season? So SKA's coach is basically (possibly) throwing games out of petty spite? I understand with Rykov who won't move any needles, but Shestyorkin?

Hellberg is performing as well. It's not as if they have a shit backup goalie.
