You mean the game where Paul Maurice sat several of his stars for about half the game for fear of injury...
The game where Cam Ward only played half the game so Justin Peters could get some action in
The game that Zubov said he thought the Hurricanes were going to treat it like a preseason game
Okay they won one game but not exactly regular season or playoff circumstances
Paul Maurice made those changes after the game was decided and SKA's quality was shown. After watching that game there is no doubt who the better team was.
the leafs are an odd situation no doubt about that and if you think the players coast in the nhl but try in the khl you're just letting your bias show.
the NHL has no interesting in playing the KHL cause they have nothing to gain from it, can't blame them for that, that's the reality of the situation.
Also I'm not really sure what the WC's have proven... Russia has been a close to full strength team and Canada has been a B or C team the last few years
I looked at the Omsk roster, Aside from Frolov and Roman Cervenka I don't see anyone I'd consider that special.
Ok, you've said enough. There's no point further discussing this.That just shows your lack of knowledge about KHL players. Players like Perezhogin and Popov were on the killer line with Malkin in the WC and looked amazing. They were outstanding in PO as well.
There are others who's skill level you have no idea about.

yes... the game was decided at 2-2, good to know games are decided at a tied score, i'll remember that

Perezhogin is nothing special at all... nor is Popov to be totally honest. A lot of people look amazing when paired with Malkin... it's Malkin
Can't hurt anything although I think they should do it in Canada if they want a bigger draw.
The population of NYC is approximately 25% of Canada's. The metro area supports 3 NHL teams and has more sports fans, including a lot of Russians in Brooklyn, like a previous poster said.

means nothing, if those games average more the 3-4 thousand people in the stands I will be very surprised.
oh man, never mind. But, thanks for being totally honest.
Enjoy this video for YOUR Educational pleasure(BTW as you'll see, Malkin does little for these 2):
There was nothing particularly impressive about that video, sure they both have some finish, but I didnt see anything that demonstrated 1st line NHL skills, maybe they could make the top line on a few of the bottom feeders but I don't see enough skill there to put them into NHL playoff contention

its something that I call "first morning blindness"

Of course, neither of them will probably score Lemieux-esque goal in the NHL like Malkin did, but come on, you can't pair a total no-name with Geno and expect great results.
Nope, it was supposed to be a preseason game. And it sucks because for the half of arena the view on the rink is obstructed, so they don't sell tickets for those seats.

I would still love to go to this game if it happens. If for no other reason than to just give a huge middle finger to the nhl!

). BTW, if Fro is so great, why wasn't he invited to the Worlds?
