The Maybe new Russian/Euro Superliga

[Landeskog Rocks]

The Russian Superliga chairman Vladislav Tretjak says there will only be 5 players a team coming from other countries/leagues than russia, only 4 of them to be dressed.

But the worst rule he has descided is that there will be no international goalies, AT ALL!
And he & the russian superliga is trying to compete with NHL. That will be none successfull goal for them with stupid rules like these.
Of course it is all for the good of russian hockey, but saying that they want to challange NHL with those rules? No Way!

Later they want to connect all good teams in Europe in that superliga. Sounds....i don´t know Sweden Finland chch Rep., then what? That would be more than enough of good competetive teams in a new big league, but to have swissteams and german teams, then it will be spoiled. Any more news on this "Europesuperliga" would be great!

International success is still more important to Russians than having a league that competes with the NHL.

Can't blame them for wanting to produce better goaltenders and players for the national team. Russian players will always have more importance.
