Luckily yesterday the Minsk and Severstal games were separated by about half an hour so I could switch to the other during an intermission. Missed the ending of Alexander Suvorov's game (Severstal) because I was leaving for work. No points for him yesterday. Creative player. The PP brought out his skillset, looked really dangerous. Tries a lot of high risk plays. He can make them but it's definitely something he'll have to refine. Had a few bad turnovers. On the ice for 2 goals against and one was directly caused by a turnover from him in his own zone. The fact that he could make some of the plays he made in the KHL at 20 is really impressive though. Seems like he'll have to improve picking and choosing the appropriate time to make the smart, safe play over the high danger one. That should come with age and experience though.
The Dinamo Minsk game with Vadim Moroz was a strange one. Minsk finished with 35 penalty minutes, so large portions of the game was them just penalty killing. Not a ton of ice time for their leading scorers like Spooner and Merkley. Moroz only played 10 minutes. Not a whole lot to take away from a game like that. The offensive skills are absolutely there but I was actually a bit surprised by his overall game in those few shifts. He showed a complete game, came back deep in his own zone to support the Dmen. Made a few plays I was impressed by. It's unfortunate the role that he plays at the moment. He only averages 11 minutes a game, some nights they play him 18 minutes a game, some nights he plays 10. Hopefully they increase his role.
Thats the biggest difference between Suvorov and Moroz. One plays 16 minutes a night whereas the other only plays 11 minutes a game. Definitely sold on both of them, would love to get em in the middle rounds
