I was pretty sure that something like that was the reason XD

Thanks for the explanation! I wasn’t aware of that, and I suspect most aren’t. I learned something new, thx!

Oh cool thanks for sharing!

@@Rubensitocyes that’s y he said it

@@Rubensitoc Same.

it's really good not to be in russia for sure

I think there’s gonna be a lot of respect for Fedotov around the league for what he went through to get here and then to play as well as he did. If Fedotov doesn’t stand on his head for the second the Flyers don’t even get a point outta that game. Coulda been 6-2 at the end of the second period without him. Guy faced 17 shots in the second period. Torts said after the game he was the only Flyer who showed up tonight. He was the story of the game for sure.

Torts will find a way to sabotage him

Lets fatten him up so much that there will hardly be any room for a puck to get into the net. Then the Flyers could win the Cup next year :)

He looked awful last night

@@shoresy4084 Let me know when you strap up the pads in the big leagues

Another interesting thing is how stressed/unstressed vowels work. Fedótov would sound more like Fye-Doh-Tahv, Mar-chyen-kahv, Prah-voh-rav.

All I can say is that if you want to know how to pronounce these Russian players' names, learn Russian. Actually Russian people themself don't matter where the stress, the stress usually comes naturally when speaking Russian fast enough. Most common ending family name in Russian are in and ov (ev) . Names with ending "in" usually have the stress on the syllable before it, names with "ov" ending usually on the "ov" itself, names with ending "ev" should not have the stress on "ev" syllable. That's just the rule of thumbs because Russian language has a lot of expceptions. For example, for me. "Fedotov" has 2 stresses on 2 syllables with "o", but one of the stress is harder.

@@sergiomarucci That's because in Russian, o will be pronounced like a (lthe same sound can be found in Australian English if you look at the IPA) if there is no stress on it, the e sound would be 'eee" when there is no stress.

lol he’s calm because he’s huge and covering 90 percent of the net

@@BleachCowboy2016 that has absolutely nothing to do with that at all. That would be confidence , but calm is an entirely different skill trait. You arent born with the ability to be calm. Lol size don’t make you calm.

Well he was literally taken and forced into the Russian military so I doubt much can really shake him.

Russians seem to be calm in crazy situations

He also doesn’t know these players and teams so no overthinking or anything, just gotta play

He's not a kid tho☝️😳

I mean...he really is

@@Joe-mu2cn 27

​@@Joe-mu2cnHe's 27

@@Joe-mu2cn in what world is a 27 year old grown men a kid?

He’ll have a painted mask soon. This one was just temporary.

@@oscarwinner2034 I know. But, he should keep it white, much cooler

@@ulearntech It's odd - all white gear=cool. All white mask = not cool.

Took years for him to develop but the wait was well worth it. Dude is a stud. He will only continue to get better.

he’s 27 but i get what you mean

Богатырь по Русски! За малыша 👍

What about Ivan? 🤔

@@ReinhardP ee-VAHN (the A is stressed and it's like a in "car", not in "cat")

@@Aakurb so the pronunciation on the first vowel got completly butchered, right?

@@ReinhardP yeah most English speakers pronounce i as in "I", "dime", "light", that's not correct. It should be pronounced like i in "kiss", "lick", "shrimp".

@@Aakurb Well, we can't blame them too much. Their language rarely follows any rules when pronouncing words. Just take the syllable -ough. Through, cough, though... no consistency at all.

I’ve been disappointed with their last two overtimes especially. 😬 I know I’m not there so I can’t criticize, but it’s been confusing, to say the least.

I really hope so. Dude is a stud. This was his first game. He had little to no support and only let up 3 goals out of 21 shots. He's only going to continue to get better. Just imagine him with defensive support 🤯🤯🤯

@@MrBeenushe let in 2 goals!

When you are a rookie in the NHL no matter what age you are. You are the Kid compared to the veterans

😂

i think they are awesome

Sweet jerseys!

Nice to see white jerseys at home again. Hate going to games and seeing the same uniforms. Flyers in orange and the visitors in white. Miss the variety of uniforms when the visitors wore their dark jersey on the road.

7 out of 10 they're solid

So basically the Russian government held him until the Flyers paid the ransom.

If there was ever a way to ensure one of your citizens never returns to the country, Russia found it.

He wanted to go to NHL after a successful season with russian CSKA, but the club wanted him to play for a couple more years. After he refused, some higher ups retaliated and, due to CSKA being tied with russian army (CSKA stand for Central Sports Club of Army), sent him in the army in abrupt manner. It is really easy to evade mandatory service in Russia (health issues, University, bribes, connections, just-not-taking-a-delivered-letter), unless they want specifically you. Basically extreme communication issues between the club and the player + somebody in said club being petty as hell.

@@user-ee5mw8xf7l I'd bet the Flyers may have had to make a payment to the mother land.

@@oscarwinner2034 I doubt it, there wasn't much to fuck Fedotov with after he served (mandatory service lasts 1 year), plus CSKA has infinite money glitch called "being sponsored by state owned oil company", no need for sleezy money schemes

Big numbers are usually from stadium series jersey like this philly one so you should keep an eye out for every time teams do those if that's what you like

Hopefully with Fedotov here now, Ersson can get his much needed rest and the team wakes up.

Yeah I wish he had started, too. And I’ve been so frustrated with their OTs, too. I was taught not to quit and can remember to many times I gave it my all while I was exhausted playing street hockey for fun… It’s hard to sit at home and watch Poehling and then Frost just give it up.

You have NO talent! Konecny carries the team. You shouldnt even be in the play offs! Philly are HUGE over-achievers! i think you guys are doing WELL for a bunch of nobodies!

​@@inconnu4961Take a nap damn 😂😂😂

We are ENGLISH speakers! This is our accent, sir. Russians speakers would constantly mispronounce my english name too. But thank you for trying to teach us properly.

Not bad? Dude let up 3 goals out of 21 shots in 2 periods after being thrown in with little to no defensive support. Dude did great

I was in disbelief that they even challenged for interference, because there was none.

Нет. Там и говорить не надо. Они Русские! Одного жеста хватило.

I think it's always something talked about, but at the higher levels I believe a goalies reaction time and speed are more important than their sheer size because the players shots become more accurate, and they can pass the puck around better. Those are just my thoughts though

Yes look at Ben Bishop and Andrei Vasilevsky

From what ive seen of Lacrosse they just put the fat kids in net :DD. But in Hockey that doesnt work because you actually have to be athletic.

@@josefihli2672 Vasi is 6'4 225LBS definitely not a fat blob, Bishop 6'7 209LBS hes actually skinny for his height.

Search for sports science sumo hockey. Hint: doesn't work.

Those white Flyers jerseys are alternates.

I believe the trend in desiring a tall net minder is that he can see over the players. The VAST majority of goals are scored by screens or deflections right next to the goal. Height evens out the taking away of sight.

Last few goals I saw hit his glove and went in anyway. Let in too many against Chicago in previous game (should have been easy points). Torts needed to shake things up.

Just chillin'!

Don’t remind me. Call me crazy, but I’m still hopeful that gets wrapped up soon and he comes back next season. I’m tired of women and their foolishness.

Is that a penalty to go to the wrong side? i have been a huge hockey fan near 60 years(Flyers fan since day 1) and have never heard of that.Likely because I have never seen that

@@leperlord7078 The only thing I can think of would be delay of game, but goaltenders are in net quicker than the players are ready so I really don't see anything there. Would really be no different than him going to take his water bottle back if he left it.

@@leperlord7078 Technically yes, as goaltenders are not allowed to cross center ice except to go to and from the bench. It's typically not enforced, as it usually only happens when there's a line brawl/imminent goalie fight where the offending goaltender is likely to have a far bigger offense (fighting/roughing), but it is technically illegal.
