Hello Mr. Bykov, somebody at home?

Kalinin instead of Zubov?

Then you can wrap up immediately still Slava. To him Sid turns at least no knots in the legs...

Also Kozlov is only a shade. For the KHL it is enough. But Frolov leave at home in LA? Or renounce the golden hands of Yashin?

Offense wins games, Defense Championships, already forget?

This time no Super-Keeper will only reach to the title, only a very skilled d-men, who know how to stop the guns! Don´t forget the coolness of Sergej.

But: Good luck!
