OK, I know I am getting a little too excited about hockey being back, and it will be back in North America tonight when Moncton visits Halifax to open the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League season. That game starts at 7 Atlantic time.
But first I'm looking at the team photo of Medvescak Zagreb of the KHL. Nice uniforms by the club, and I might say that I like the numbers on the shins rather than on the shoulders (I'm talking to you San Jose Sharks and Buffalo Sabres). And I am a big fan of the retro color selection of the goalie pads by goalie Barry Brust, front row left. Brown or some similar shade is what all goalies across this great globe should be wearing.
Note that the Cheechoo train (Jonathan, for those of you who prefer regular names) calls Zagreb home. In fact, look at the roster. Hugh Jessiman, Kyle Klubertanz, Brian Willsie, Kurtis Foster. Plenty of familiar faces working for the Croatian entry in the KHL.
And with that, let's get to the KHL scores for Thursday:
Avangard Omsk Region 4, Atlant Moscow Region 3
SKA St. Petersburg 5, Barys Astana 2
Yugra Khanty-Mansiysk 3, Severstal Cherepovets 1
Lokomotiv Yaroslavl 4, Avtomobilist Yekaterinburg 0
Ak Bars Kazan 3, Metallurg Magnitogorsk 2
Neftekhimik Nizhnekamsk 2, Torpedo Nizhny Novgorod 0
Salavat Yulaev Ufa 3, Vityaz Chekhov 2
Spartak Moscow 3, CSKA Moscow 2
Dinamo Riga 4, Donbass Donetsk 2
Lev Prague 3, Dinamo Minsk 1
The standings are here. UPDATE: the roundup, with highlights,is here.
