ESPN3 to broadcast KHL games...

[Blitty]

see if you can get it here reno http://espn.go.com/watchespn/player/_/source/espn3/id/653180/size/condensed/

if you can load it that means your cable gets it

they schedule the match like this: Lev (Chara) v Dynamo Moscow (Ovechkin)

It doesn't load for me makes me choose cable provider and have to log in

I was watching it for a while. Lots of offense from what I saw. Not very physical.

Didn't seem too inferior to the NHL though.

 

[reno cool]

the game is fine, but where did the espn find these announcers? The play by play guy is worthless, and Melrose talks about everything that has nothing to do with the game. If you don't want to do proper play by play then shut up and let me hear the arena sound.

Are they playing on an Olympic-sized rink? I remember reading that KHL teams were allowed to play on smaller NHL-specs rinks if they preferred.

this looks like nhl rink, which kind of sucks. I didn't even know Prague was in the Russian league

 

[Matty]

Wish I could watch this shit right now.

Go Lev.

"What's the time difference in Prague?" "I'm not sure....if I had to guess I would say 6 hours..?"

Maybe the Kontinental Hockey League includes teams outside of Russia

Oh wow.

 

[reno cool]

Russians are so lame, or at least they don't realize how lame North America is. They copied so much from the west, even have same ot rules. Went from being a progressive leader to sucking ass of tired capitalists

 

[MonkeyF0cker]

I thought Russia's economy was capitalist now...

 

[reno cool]

I'm sure it is, and even more brutal than the one here I'd guess. More poverty, concentration of power etc.

If it's not very physical then it has to be inferior to the NHL MF. Part of what makes the NHL the best league in the world is the hitting especially clean open ice hits.

 

[reno cool]

oh stop it. like there are many clean open ice hits anywhere. Physical = holding and interfering and not allowing for superior players to exhibit talent.

 

[PuckOff]

I agree with you Reno, but there is likely way more hitting and open ice hits in the NHL than the KHL. The KHL is apparently a small step above the AHL and several steps below the NHL. The appearance of more offense in the KHL is likely due to the bigger ice surface. Just me guess of course.

 

[FairWarning]

Totally disagree with this assessment. Why don't we just have shootouts from the start?

Why not just give em a rope and have em play tug of war?
