Russia does alright in wjc action and is one of the worlds powerhouses at the tourney so how can the mHL be bad when they have such level of players and the vhl is a step up from that so even if the mhl is slightly lower then the chl then the vhl with adult men must be better then the chl.The two players who came into the lineup yesterday in Podkolzin's place, one is the leading goal scorer of the team (scored 2 yesterday) and the other is a 24 year old NHL player. It was an ugly game, I watched it all last night (lots of Canucks Flavour though: Granlund, Larsen vs Vey).
It would be rare for a 19 year old, non superstar, not to be limited when bringing in these two.
SKA has used 32 forwards this season. Vasili Podkolzin has played in more games than all but 4 of them. People need to chill. I'd rather him against better competition and to challenge him to work to actually maintain a spot in the lineup. The VHL is bad. Russian junior is bad.
The vhl is better then the chl and is not terrible so please enough of that stupid narrative please.
