Over in the KHL, Youth Is Served in the Early Going

Overnight our pal Dmitry Chesnokov passed along a YouTube link to a nifty tally in the new KHL season off the stick of Evgeny Kuznetsov, the Capitals’ first-round selection at this past June’s Entry Draft. Kuznetsov is playing for Traktor Chelyabinsk this season. The Russian play-by-play here doesn’t offer much illumination for us English-speaking Yanks, although the word “Capitals” comes through clearly enough. But hockey in action is carried off in a common tongue, and the message young Kuznetsov sends in this instance is ‘I’m a sniper, and I know how to celebrate.’
