"Going to be very hard to carry the puck in on this team."

As they carry the puck into the zone...

Am I drunk or did he just say the Empt is Netty?

**Krishna** · 10-09-2012, 02:09 PM

Dynamo Moscow wins!

Stars99Lobo37 · 10-09-2012, 02:10 PM

Best part of that game was getting to hear the old NHL theme.

Blackhawkswincup · 10-09-2012, 02:10 PM

Well that was a few hours of my life I wont get back

KHL is less entertaining then the old Russian Elite League

Pretty terrible hockey ,, Was like watching Lemaire Devils vs Lemaire Wild

**Swervin81** · 10-09-2012, 02:10 PM

Yup, now I remember why I hate Steve Levy.

McSkittlez · 10-09-2012, 02:10 PM

My first KHL game. Boring. At least I won some vcash.

**Krishna** · 10-09-2012, 02:11 PM

Not a bad game.. But was just missing that NHL flair

Fans watching in Moscow

**legendinblue** · 10-09-2012, 02:13 PM

I just don't like the big ice at all. That and no physicality.

90% sure that it was NHL ice..

O2 arena has a deal with HC Slavia Praha for the next 12 years. They are in the Czech Extraliiga, which uses NHL ice

that game was actually on NHL sized ice

SimplySensational · 10-09-2012, 02:15 PM

Game was boring, the Dynamo strategy reminded me of the Caps during the playoffs.

They should really do Traktor games... Traktor games are always entertaining.

MDZ · 10-09-2012, 02:16 PM

Hated Melrose's random maniacal laugh.

Ziggy Stardust · 10-09-2012, 02:17 PM

That looked like a friendly match with players just going through the motions.

Lacks the intensity of an NHL game. Much prefer AHL, CHL or College games over this. Why the NHL Network doesn't increase their coverage of those leagues amid a lockout is puzzling.

The best hockey we have to look forward to this winter will be the WJC.

To be fair, that one was game. Pick one random game from the NHL regular season and chances are it's going to be pretty boring. Hell last years playoffs weren't exactly exciting. Of course I find the NHL better to watch on average but this wasn't the best example of KHL.

Barry was the most entertaining part of this game, I thought he was hilarious at times.

Mr Writer · 10-09-2012, 02:23 PM

I didn't see the game, but judging from the angry comments the broadcast was of less than professional standards. (commentators) I doubt there will be a Canadian broadcaster to pick up KHL games, but I'd be curious to see how the CBC would broadcast a game.... would they be ***clowns lile Melrose and his buddy or would they do a better job. So, now I'm interested in seeing the CBC broadcast one KHL....just to answer that question. Don Cherry would have no role of course! or would he?

Whoever runs that network, seriously needs to rethink things. Has so much potential, but fails almost all the time.

Was it, I couldn't tell. The play was so slow at times I just assumed the game is being played on the big ice. Maybe it was the camera angles that fooled me.

It's just a different brand of hockey I suppose. I'll be moving to Prague shortly so I better get used to it.

I love their current strategy of just airing Wings, Pens, Caps, Flyers, Bruins and Rangers 24-7. It's as if no other teams exist in the NHL.
