Well if most Canadians feel like Nathan Oystrick after two weeks in Prague ...
@Oystie74
Need some new follow suggestions...life on the road stuck in hotels where no one speaks English can get boring.. #twitterhelp
... I can see Giroux want to go somewhere else.
How can anyone moan about living in Prague?!
I would love to, cheap, nice people, one of the best places in the world for good looking girls, beautiful city, amazing countryside nearby... and in my experience most people in the Czech Republic speak pretty good english, especially in Prague, about 50% must be proficient... then it is just a matter of learning maybe 30-40 words and you can get by anyway.
Dekuji, Prominte, Dobry den, mluvite angliky... and most importantly... PIVO!

I think it was more about the travelling to places like Moscow, Siberia or Khabarovsk which I would hate even once a year - but every week? Oh man...

Reason: getting rid of the word "well" in every single post of mine

Everything you said about Prague counts for the normal person.
I doubt Giroux, or any professional athlete for that matter, has problem paying for stuff, meeting people and especially girls.

Haha... yeh, Siberia and Khabarovsk would not be much fun (though tbh would quite like to go to Siberia one day...) the KHL travel would probably be the worst bit, it would probably be better to just play for a Extraliga team!

the KHL should do an MLB like split between and eastern and western league, and have bare minimum interleague play to make travel easier
and hell, khabarovsk shouldn't even have a team. That's worse than putting an NHL team in Anchorage.
It’s been several years since best friends Chris Stewart and Wayne Simmonds have played on the same team. Both currently play with the St. Louis Blues and the Philadelphia Flyers respectively and are now about to take their game to Germany.
Both players have signed with Eispiraten Crimmitschau GmbH in Germany’s second division otherwise known as Bundesleague of Germany.
I'll believe it when I see it, but hopefully this is a good sign of things to come:

Did you recover from the season that you called the worst of your career in a memorable interview to Sovetsky Sport?
"I would like to clarify — the most "mixed" season. I did have stretches where I had shutouts, when I was showing the stats like in Phoenix, when everyone praised me. Philadelphia made it to the second round of the Stanley Cup… You can find the positives. But my personal rating is that I am not happy with the season.
"I would like to thank fans who fairly criticized me. I got to know the Philadelphia media. This is an invaluable experience that will certainly help me. But I cannot say that I have 'sport rage' now and the next season I will show who the real Bryzgalov is! I set certain goals for myself and I will work to reach them. Otherwise you can do so much bad if you're filled with emotions."
I expect Simmonds and Stewart to each get an 3-4PPG average, depending how serious they take is. They're way too good for this league where the top scorers are usually former mediocre 3rd line AHLers or good ECHLers.
and hell, khabarovsk shouldn't even have a team. That's worse than putting an NHL team in Anchorage.
More like Hawaii... they didn't put them there though. Khabarovsk managed to reach promotion to the first tier in 1996 and has been strong enough to stay there ever since. Their attendance is good and they don't seem to have economical issues. To expel them would be terribly unfair.

Jaromír Jágr had 11 points in ONE game in the german second tier during the first lockout. Hard to top.
