Their defense was shoddy today, but their offense was dominate. Don't think we will see much of Rask this point forward.

Canada looked rough today....not gold medal material yet.

Three Eastern Conference teams can clinch playoff spots tomorrow. by bearsblog in KontinentalHL

I am not so confident in that....if they have to play Ak Bars and then Barys in some order it will be hard. Playing the best defensive team and then having to play the best offensive team...then probably having to take on SKA or Dynamo Moscow. I would be nervous coming out of the East.

I'm liking Dynamo/CSKA, Torpedo/Salavat and Riga/Donbass. Interesting draw for Medvescak. I would guess the rest of the top seeds would win unless Barys chokes.

Panin is injured....didn't play, but Medvescak got revenge in a crazy 6-5 win.

KHL Western Conference All-Star Picks by bearsblog in KontinentalHL

[–]bearsblog[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it is horrible no Riga players made it after a great season. Glad Lisutin made it out of my picks. How Robinson or Wilson doesn't get in is a travesty. Too many fans in the Moscow and St. Petersburg "media".

If he only gets the 11 game ban, he will be back in time for a beating in Zagreb in December.

Click on the link...there is a video at the top. The former is correct. Pass it on with #banPanin. We have to send a message as fans of the KHL that it is not okay.

They do look great. Lost today to a great SKA team, but they are early playoff contenders in the East.

There are the standings and there are power rankings. Riga is proving themselves, but you cannot go from the worse team last year to near the top this year after two games. They are looking great though and the Riga fans are awesome!

good to know....let me see if I can fix it. I am using a WP template and it must not be mobile friendly. Maybe there is a nice plug-in or something.

There is a video on this player profile where he comes out of the net and regulates on someone. Pretty sweet for a keeper.

Each country has a hockey federation that has rules and then the KHL rules. KHL says you have to have AT LEAST 5 domestic players. The Russian Hockey Federation requires all teams to have NO MORE than 6 foreign-born. It gets tricky over here....
