Translated Russian interview with Soshnikov. The interviewer clearly tries to goad him into talking poop about the AHL, and trying to make him feel like he made a bad choice to come to N.A. now that he's forced to toil in the minors instead of playing in the esteemed pro league of the glorious motherland with questions like:

"I think that your old coaches in Russia would be shocked to know that you don’t play powerplays, but is more specializing in penalty killing."

The kid holds his own though, I'm impressed.

I hope he gets a callup sometime this year, i.e. cup of coffee. It's good to show the kids the difference between the NHL and AHL too.

Hey now, turn that frown upside down.

$5.25M in cap space for the next 5 years = WIN!!!

I was being facetious.

...So at this point, I really don't think Stamkos is resigning with Tampa...

Man we better not lose to edmonton.
- Bigzby

I hope we do.
I do not want to see them with another 1st overall.

Sparks looks to be a bright spot on the Leafs roster.

Why cause he hasnt played yet?

Go Sparks Go!.



and get your 1st nhl W!

So let's say he wins.......

What do we start calling guys who jump on his bandwagon?

Sparkies? Sparkles? Spark Plugs? (Oh, that's a good one!)

Just keep his GF/Wife/Mate from being part of a reality tv show and all will be good for the Spark Plugs!....

That seems pretty reasonable, I think you could do better.

Gary Sparkles is a solid handle.

Wonder what Ed Belfour is up to. He was the last good goalie we had, and that was a long time ago!

Hard to win in the NHL with below average goalies, Edmonton can verify

“(Bernier)’s got to rebound, but at what expense?"

I thought rebounds were part of the problem?
- BlueBallz

I think there's been one to many rebounds off of your head.

What are the headlines tomorrow if Sparks is awesome or is brutal?

Post one headline for each outcome, aaaaaaaand go!

From a little Spark may burst a flame

- Fakepartofme

He didn't think Stamkos was re-signing with Tampa last week either, so nothing has changed.

He will Sparkle.
