He was originally credited for the assist on Tikhonov's goal, but I guess they changed it to Kalinin. Could have sworn Tarasenko passed him the puck. Oh well, Vladi still had a really good game. Besides the goal in the beginning...he also drew a couple penalties. One of which where he was tripped and still managed to get a nice shot off from the knees. You can tell this new coach has a lot of confidence in him. His playing time has increased quite a bit. Including a good deal of time on the powerplay. Quite a treat to watch him and Kovy work their magic out there.
No points for Vladi or Kovy against Datsyuk and Radulov yesterday, but they've both been named to the KHL's Western All-Star team. Lehtera has also also named to the East. Just as a reminder, SKA plays Slovan at 9:30CT tommorow morning. As usual, I'll post a link around game time.
I am not sure if this has been posted yet, but here is the SKA's promo video with Tarasenko. It's not new, nevethereless, enjoy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q9JMKLwRGFI
The wording in the video:
"I am at SKA's practice! Unbelievable! This is Tarasenko!
I heard that a true sniper can hit a coin......
Good thing he plays for us".

Man can that kid fire the puck. His one-timer top shelf was great, but the shot that really caught my eye was right at the start of the video posted just above, when he does a quick drag and then rifles it high, all in one quick motion (1:05 mark). Good glove on that by Varlamov.
Every time I think about the lockout being lifted I get excited that I get to see the Blues play again. Then just a few seconds later I remember that we have one of the top prospects in the world and that he has agreed to don the BlueNote and I can hardly contain myself. I've been a huge fan my entire life and I've never been this excited about a hockey season. JUST GET IT DONE!

I know how you feel MattyMo35, I've followed the Blues since the early 70's. I still belive.
