Avangard Omsk announced that they hired a new head coach, but they are hiding his name because the deal is not 100% done as he could not reach Russia yet, and they confirmed that he will be a well-known name from Canada.
The most probable name is for the moment Wayne Fleming, and this was already written by some Canadian media.
I would say that they will drop sooner or later. They have no stars and in a long season it will hurt them. But it will be fun to see if they manage to top the standings or even to stay let's say in the first 6/7 teams. Their first line clicks good and is very quick.
Has Westcott for Riga tried to hit an opposing player going down the wall with a hip check yet? He tried to do it every game in NHL when he was here, was wondering if he's keeping the tradition alive.
Kevin Dallman in 11 games for Barys Astana scored 7 goals. This is the same number of goals scored by Jaromir Jagr and just 1 goal less than his entire output in NHL.

Haven't noticed it, but I haven't been looking for it either, I'll try to remember about this when watching the next few games.

Indeed, I have noticed that too One team even scored a goal on us after he let the guy by. Other than that he is playing quite good here, first pair.
Is it true that his contract was 1.1 million last season in Columbus?
Last season it was 1.85 million, actually (the previous GM liked Duvie alot and gave him a good contract). He got another concussion and was deemed not good enough for the NHL anymore (his play had declined for a few seasons), he took the demotion to the minors in stride and finished the season in the AHL and was bought out over the summer.
strange turn of events, he was practicing with CSKA and then all of a sudden ends up in Yaroslavl...Well this been avenged 2:1 CSKA wins in his debut against his would be team.
I guess Sperrle joined Riga? What happened to Masalskis?
And can anyone tell me what happened to...

Another young hockey player in Russia has died. According to Russian news reports, 20-year-old goalie Artur Bagautdinov died Thursday night in a fall from a second-story window while visiting his friends’ apartment in Kaliningrad. Bagautdinov played for Yuzhny Ural Orsk in the Russian Vyshaya Liga, that country’s equivalent of the A.H.L. Until this season he had played for Ak Bars-2, the Vyshaya Liga farm club of Ak Bars Kazan.

LA never gave him any ice time, i wonder where this is coming from is he just completely abandoning his defensive responsibilities? or is he really playing this good?
One team even scored a goal on us after he let the guy by. Other than that he is playing quite good here, first pair.
