Sign to eliteprospects, they at least used to have a sound clip with the correct pronounciation for every player.

I wonder if anyone has told him yet what the other meaning of Koochie is?

Yes we need him to know it's what you say when tickling a baby. That's the other meaning you're talking about, right?

I was thinking the other kooching that is more similar to himself: the one all sorts of guys are trying to score on.

One semester of it in college for me. The spelling rules kicked my ass hard so I wussed out and went to French. I can still read Russian but holy crap my vocab is limited. Hello, goodbye, please, thank you, library, university, etc.

Kid gives me some Ned vibes in sometimes making things look a bit harder than it seems they should at times. I'm sure some of that is his youth and the path he's been on these past few years. Kudos to him for what he's accomplished in a short time so far and for sticking up for himself tonight.

 

[bleedgreen]

I like him so far but haven’t seen amazing play yet. He’s got momentum more than brilliance right now, which is great for us but doesn’t have me convinced the future is now.

That's the perfect way to sum up how I feel as well. Kinda why I've pumped the breaks on wanting to see him unless absolutely necessary. If he can keep getting results, that's great. The team playing this way in front of him certainly doesn't hurt.

Hhhm….I thought he was brilliant in NY versus Rangers ( but I get your point ).

At 4-2 he made the big saves needed too.

I think that's really just nerves, as I never noticed it watching him in the KHL, and I watched a ton of him there. Ned's style is wild. Pyotr's isn't.

Can't tell you how much I love seeing this kid succeed. Been following his career closely since we drafted him. Never imagined he'd be in the position after the rough start to the KHL season he had and his struggles to get consistent playing time in the previous couple years. So happy for him. Still definitely hope we get Freddie and Raanta back ASAP (LaFontaine as our next man up scares me), but also confident in Pyotr if we need to keep relying on him.

Small sample sizes and the team has played well in front of him; most of his goals against have been on the PK. At his best in the KHL and AHL he has looked like a Vasi/Shestyorkin/Sorokin caliber goalie. But yeah definitely fair to still temper expectations on him. I'm not 100% but pretty damn close that he'll be our long term goaltending solution within a couple years.

Kid is fearless. He’s making a believer out of me in real time.

Kochetkov has a quickness to him that is more reminiscent of Ned than either Andersen or Raanta. But I feel like he combines better fundamental positional play with that quickness than Ned does, and Kochetkov also seems to be defaulting to the conservative play right now either as an inherent style or because he's so new to the NHL.

There was one puck a few feet outside the crease last night off a rebound. It stuck out to me because I could see Ned diving out of goal to cover it last year, while Kochetkov let the D sweep it away.
