maybe it's the beer leaguer in me, or that I'm a flyers fan and I know my team, but I wish at 7:15 he would have just froze the puck. I don't trust my guys to keep the play going with pressure. They'll cough it up in their zone and hang you out to dry. It's not on the PP or late minutes. Just freeze it and take the faceoff with fresh guys. I'm excited to see more of Fedotov playing in Philly :)

Hey Jamie Im pretty sure that Russia no longer uses the large Olympic size rinks anymore. I think KHL is now all NHL and hybrid size so it should not be a very difficult transition for Fedotov.

There is a change taking place for sure.6 KHL rinks are now NHL size out of a total of 24 I have no idea what rink size Ivan played on? conwaysrussianhockey.wordpress.com/2019/07/09/khl-arenas-in-2019-20-a-field-guide/

I may be wrong haven't researched lately but multiple teams still use the widest ice. Some use nhl size. And most use ice that's in-between the sizes

He is conservative in his body movement in crease. Not trying to do too much. His size gives him some net coverage. Agree with his skating, not his strength. Collapses around puck to suck it into his body pretty well. Where I am concerned is his reflexes with his blocker and glove; he either isn't reacting to the shot or his muscle memory reflexes are slow. He has been pretty soft in other games I have watched on the catch glove side. Reaction time just isn't there or? Not sure. He is a giant in the net!

Good break down

It looks as though when in butterfly position his span can block the entire width of the net. What a whopper! We're calling him The Walrus, right?
