Actually I figured it would be McDavid/Nurse. And really what the (frank) else is left for Hendo to write about?

I like Yakimov. You could see there was something they could build on last year with Tkakev and Yakimov. It's a shame about Tkakev having a meltdown in the Memorial Cup last year; the Oil had two of the last four picks in the draft and instead opted for OTHER RUSSIANS.

Edit: Miroslav Svoboda is a Czech but still isn't Tkakev.

Hard not to like Yakimov, I hope he turns into the Russian version of Brian Boyle.

I can see him being more like Anisimov or Antropov

Jeez Hendo these blogs remind me of the end of Brodeur's career. You take a good thing and refuse to end it with dignity.

It could be worse. We could be looking forward to the next Ottawa Senators report card.

Summer sucks for hockey
