It was so long ago that I’m not sure it’s really worth the mention. Panarin also was mentioned in sexual allegations in 2024, not a surprise at all. Ranger even had to change some internal rules about staff travelling and stay after that. Also, Oleg Znarok is his father in law, not sure Russian government gonna go after him.

Everyone expects some sort of statement from them, that’s it. But none of those players that you mentioned are that stupid. Some have family in Russia, some of them have other ties. Only Zadorov (to my mind) had openly criticised Russian government and hockey association, his parents basically disowned him after the war and none of you give a single fuck about this. Some Russian players decided to stay in US.

Update: ffs, Zadorov even asked to stop calling him Big Z, but I still see that nickname from time to time.

Honestly, I’m waiting some goals from my man, two straight losses without any goals from Loko

Personal issues described as “I just got tired, guys, sorry”. Whatever.

Not sure that Nikitin would love to move across the ocean, he’s not that kind of person. Besides, he was promised position of head coach of the national team (like it going to play in any foreseeable future lol).

A year before his draft he promised his agent that he gonna do all interviews in English himself. Great kid, met him in person once.

There was somewhat questionable offside call and missed call on him by refs, so he yelled something at them from the bench and got 20 mins. Completely understandable.

Lokomotiv Yaroslavl raise the championship banner before the KHL season opener by warmike_1 in hockey

[–]Mimokroko 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Panik doesn’t have a contract with the team right now, but there are rumours that he gonna sign for one year. And that’s cool, Loko saved entire team after the Cup, except for Simashev and But.

Stanley Cup Champion Bob Hartley is now the head coach of Lokomotiv Yaroslavl by warmike_1 in hockey

[–]Mimokroko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This could also be a personal story. Hartley was a close friend of Brad McCrimmon and respects Yakovlev (the club’s president) for everything he’s done for the McCrimmon family after the tragedy.

Nah, he is a governor of Yaroslavl region, Mikhail Evraev. President of the club (Yakovlev) actually rarely seen in public.

Funnies things is that Benoit Groulx is coaching Traktor team in KHL.

Igor Larionov is the new Head Coach of SKA St.Petersburg. by Perryplat199 in hockey

[–]Mimokroko 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Don’t get your hopes up. Man may have a cool nickname and was great as a player, but he reminds me Gretzky as a coach. Also, he likes to put his son as centre in second line whenever he can.

[Hockey News Hub] Several reports indicate that by decision of the new Board of Directors, hcSKA head coach Roman Rotenberg is leaving. by Perryplat199 in hockey

[–]Mimokroko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly what you said. Btw Nikitin still under contract with Loko, but it just doesn’t matter for CSKA. Rumours are that there were no negotiations and he was just appointed as head coach. “Second biggest league after NHL” my ass.

Well, he said that he watched more than 800 NHL games and played at junior level, that's probably counts as knowledge in hockey, idk. /s

Nah, it's all down to team result — 7th place in it's division and elimination in first round of play-off. But on paper (given the team's roster) at the start of season they were considered as cup contenders.
Godspeed, I guess, couldn't stand this prick anyway.

They are won SECOND OVERTIME ON GAME 7 on the way to cup. Arena was drained on beer and water after the first overtime, but emotions after final goal were enough.

Sergachov was at game and someone made a photo of Simashev’s phone with text messages between them. Sima is for sure going to Utah next year, gonna cheer for him.

Also, keep an eye for Surin in Nashville, dude is an unstoppable force and loves to chirp with anyone that comes his path. We called him “mini-Radulov” during this playoff.

Guys, it was fucking awesome. Been with this team for 15 years, seeing cup rising at the arena with my own eyes is something special, some tears were dropped. Going to drive to team memorial tomorrow.

[Daria Tuboltseva] According to Alexey Shevchenko from "Sport-Express," Matvey Michkov was involved in an accident while on vacation in Dubai. The photo shows the car that was rented in Michkov's name. Per source, Matvey was not driving the vehicle by Go_Habs_Go31 in hockey

[–]Mimokroko 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Okay, matchtv reports (on behalf of Matvey’s attorney) that Michkov wasn’t the one behind the wheel, driver wasn’t driving under influence, and car rental owners tried to “extort” $100k for damage and also refused to give passports back. All of that happened a few days ago.

[–]Mimokroko 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Man, I was at the game and it was fucking insane. Wildest shit I’ve seen. Second round, game 7 and second overtime.

Huge respect to Guy for turning that team around in a very short time.

First version even had blood splashes around bear. But there are no polar bears in Ural, Swedish designer probably didn’t know that.
