    Yep both of them are under contract to the Flyers and Jets. Anton Babchuk will likely also be leaving Donbass and heading to Calgary. Fedotenko and Ponikarovsky are 4th and 5th on the team in scoring. Babchuk only has 3 points so I don't know if he's sucking or what. Their leading scorer is former Florida Panther Evgeny Dadonov. The are in the last playoff position, only up a point. I wonder if they can hold on after losing these guys. Dinamo Minsk is the team right behind them and I think they have Joe Pavelski and Pekka Rinne who they will lose. Not sure if Torpedo Nizhny Novgorod have any NHL players. I don't think they do.

    I do not care about the HC Donbass. I care more about the upcoming Olympic Games Final Qualification round. Ukraine's in it and without our two NHL players we stand no chance.

    Semin was on Torpedo if I'm not mistaken, but he's probably headed back to Carolina. That might actually be a fun offense to watch this year, with Semin, the Staal brothers, and Jeff Skinner.

    Kovalev, 39, just got signed by the Florida Panthers. I am leaving the arena right now. Kovalev was wearing his usual 27 and, for a 39-year-old, he moved really well. He partnered up the 19-year-old youngster, Huberdau, and both goal a goal and two assists in a 5-1 rout over the Hurricanes.

    Taresenko gives Blues fans something to smile about. Russia's up and coming top players are scary good, even by Russkiy standards. Yakupov/Tarasenko/Kuznetsov/Kucherov, etc. Imagine if they were all a year or two older, our 2014 team would make the 2010 roster look like child's play!

    Most of the comments seemed to be supporting Yakupov.

    Him skating past his teammates looked off but he had just tied the game and was overcome with excitement. Some people aren't getting that excitement part though.

    Ever since their opening day 5-1 victory over Carolina, Panthers had been playing bad and worse. 4 consecutive crushing losses, to Ottawa 0-4, to Montreal 1-4, to Ottawa 1-3, and to Philadelphia 1-7.

    Ever since the opening period against Carolina (4-0), Panthers had allowed 19 goals in 14 periods and scored 4. As Steve "Goldie" Goldstein, Florida Panthers TV commentator, said, he can not even find a silver lining.

    Which is their only really good player. They have a couple guys who are fringe AHLers, but that's about it.
