and nichushkin goes to U18 WC
I mean what is better for the development of this kid. Playing against other kids in a youth tournament or playing the finals of the second strongest ice hockey league for men? I think the answer is pretty easy.
the seventh game will be on 19 may. and after the finals what form do you think he will be in?That doesn't start until the 18th, couldn't he still play in the finals?
Traktor are completely deserved in the Gagarin Cup finals!!! Ak Bars had a 3-1 lead which was completely lucky already after Traktor threw away several big leads in game #4 and then they played three miserable games in a row!
I never had the feeling after the 3-1 lead for Ak Bars in this series that they really wanted to win it. Traktor just looked more motivated!

it doesnt matter what he says, tractor must release him.nichushkin said after the game, that he is looking forward to the finals
tell it our federationI mean it's u18, Canada is not bringing their best, who cares, let some other kid fight for fame.
I was wrong, congrats to Traktor and go Traktor! Kazan', time to rebuild.

Rebuild what? There are at least 2-3 years more in the core. No need to rebuild, just to scout the market better(the latter signings are all busts) and develop the young players. We need a better D-man that Zakharchuk and a copule of young D-men.

Morozov, Zaripov dependance is hindering the development of others. Plus many talented players that Kazan' has grabbed from less fortunate team$ are being utilized wrong, which stumbled their development and activated regression.

Morozov and Zaripov take exactly 2 roster spots. What are you talking about? And Zaripov is still one of the best LW in the KHL. Morozov is getting older gradually, but his experience is still winning us games.
Who is being utilized wrong? That's absolute nonsense.
I don't think this series was won due to higher class by Traktor or better tactics. IMHO Traktor players just wanted it more! After their 3-1 lead Ak Bars more or less only did the necessary in the other three games but never impressed me.
Had Ak Bars taken this series it would have been the usual "play bad, still win" mentality of them.
Why dont they ask the player first? Im sure its a choice to participate in a tournament isn't it?
I mean, even if he wasnt in the GC playoffs, and was golfing on vacation somewhere, he could hypothetically still deny the invitation.
But either way I think the president of Traktor and KHL management should protest this. Sochi and WC is one thing, maybe even U20, but this is nonesense
both are now free agents, is that right?
i read somewhere that cska wants 2 sing them both...

there are gonna be some big shots from our goverment at the tournament. our federetion simply wants to cover its own ass whatever it takesTeens usually take U18 tournaments as experience, skill build, and exposure to scouts for draft.
Nichushkin will get nothing from this tournament. Furthermore the team cant be that bad that they need to uproot the best possible player against everyone's will to have a chance at gold.
