[Mgkibbles]

I like hockey prospects that struggle with girls, they tend to have better wrists.

First of all, he's a good hockey player and captain of his team.

oh those silly ruskies, they have given him the wrong letter.

 

[Lisenok]

He has a "C" in front, what's wrong?
"K" on the left shoulder means "Key player".

 

[Spongolium*]

, well played sir.

 

[Krishna]

That hair.

 

[DrinkFightFlyers]

That hair.

Yes! We have the Russian Bieber!!!

 

[mercury]

That hair.

He looks like the frontman for a Britpop band. He could do a cover of "Valerie" and bring the house down.

 

[Jumping]

She's knock kneed.

Late in a Spartak power play, Vasiliev retreated to his own zone and gathered a loose puck, facing the side boards from about two feet away. With Vasiliev in a vulnerable position, an Atlant player cross-checked him in the back and sent the 19-year-old defensemen awkwardly crashing into the boards.

Vasiliev was immediately in a lot of pain. At first, it looked like his wrist had gotten pinned under his weight, and he held his wrist close to his body as he skated up the tunnel after getting up off the ice. However, according to what his coach said in the postgame press-conference, the player sustained a shoulder injury. He was taken to a nearby hospital for X-rays and did not return to the game.

make that another big shoulder injury for him. it also mentions somewhere in there that he wants a 3 year stint in the khl before coming over here. either way its great that val has the set to play in the khl already but maybe he isnt physically mature enough yet despite his frame. hope its not as bad as it could be.

its a tough task eating heavy defensive minutes in the khl and for a kid who just turned 19 a few months ago its huge. he obviously has the talent but if hes getting crunched in the first game of the season what good is that to anyone.

Yeah it's a shame..hopefully these injuries don't add too many miles on him so soon. He kind of sounds like a Dmitri Yushkevich type player at least from the physical standpoint. However, Yushkevich had some decent offense to him with his shot if I remember correctly.

Meltzer tweeted he had played 8-9 minutes through the first two periods of that game. He's playing in the KHL at a young age, which is definitely good, but he's not logging big minutes. Not yet at least. Here's a link to the injury, occurring around 3:25.

Bumping this thread. How has he been in the WJC? Today's game was the first I was able to see, I honestly didn't even know he was playing until he was 'slashed' by Lindholm and he 'dove'. I was too busy watching Hagg

If this guy was a sleeper, that would be HUGE.

Dorm. I can't think of a working scenario where someone has a bunk in a studio.

He hasn't been a huge factor for Russia's blueline, he's rotated between the third pairing and being the 7th defenseman. He scored their only goal in a 4-1 loss to Finland in group play.
