Ooof. Sorry. I saw that discussion but didn't really pay attention it was you arguing with Atas. I actually considered just re-posting (what I now understand was) your reply as an answer but didn't have time to checkCome on, you have read my discuission with Atas, you should get the joke))
Berdin starting for SKA with Hellberg backing up. Not sure where Askarov is.
Unless someone comes in for Broissot it will be tough this year.Berdin has been playing very well, hopefully he can earn a serious look with the Jets for a backup role.
Per Gillian Kemmerer, apparently has a lower body injury.Anyone know why it looks like kravtsov didnt play for traktor yesterday?
He is not playing well at all. The quarantine forced SKA's hand, so he was getting more opportunities than he would normally get given his shaky play.Berdin has been playing very well, hopefully he can earn a serious look with the Jets for a backup role.
It's all about size here. He is probably the next best prospect after Askarov(by a margin, but still) in this class. He wasn't drafted because he is under 6'1''. 6'1'' is what every goalie in the draft was at least except for one canadian kid. Instead two 6'8'' guys were drafted who will probably never reach the level. Right now he is not Sorokin caliber, but he very well might be CSKA's starter of the future in a couple of years.I missed that CSKA extended the contract with 19-year-old goalkeeper Vsevolod Skotnikov until 2024. Is this the next Sorokin?
you probably right, Shevchenko bashed him yesterday in his showHe is not playing well at all. The quarantine forced SKA's hand, so he was getting more opportunities he would normally get given his shaky play.
SKA, CSKA - (Central) Army Sports' Club;Not sure if the right thread, but i’m curious.

SKA, CSKA - (Central) Army Sports' Club;
Ak Bars, Barys - Snow Leopard;
Jokerit - Jester;
Neftekhimik - Petroleum Chemist;
Severstal - North Steel;
Vityaz - Knight.
Spartak, Sibir, Traktor, Torpedo, Salavat Yulaev, Metallurg, Lokomotiv, Dinamo, Sochi, Avangard, Amur, Avtomobilist - don't really require translation, names of people/locations/international words.
Pretty much it. Most names come from the Soviet sports' system where sports clubs belonged to/were administered by worker unions of factories/institutions with a rather obvious indication to a certain profession or factory.

Dynamo was founded in 1923 as the KGB's predecessor's GPU NKVD and also became the police's team. Therefore it spread quickly across the country. There is apolice station in every town. The iconic "D" logo was made 1926 by one of it's first football players. The name though is a curious case. It was proposed by one of the early members Nedoley-Goncharenko, a GPU officer, who was himself a former employee of the Moscow "Dynamo" electric motors factory, that carried the name since 1913.
Yes, hence the factory/company nameWord Dynamo (Dinamo in croatian) has it roots in greek language, greek word "Dynamis" means force/power/strenght.
He got tradedWhen Yakupov left SKA why didn’t he go to Neftekhimik instead of Amur?
