@EvgeniMalkinN71 true. When he was young he was asked to join Elemash Elektrostal of the Russian Major league, but to do so had to become a Russian citizen. So technically he was born in Ukraine, but he is Russian nationality.
Now he's with the Flyers. This guy is a game-breaking offensive talent...something the Flyers haven't had since Lindros. As long as he can keep his head straight and have a good attitude, he'll be an amazing player for them.
@EvgeniMalkinN71how is he better than 90% of the NHL? He didn't even make the KHL all star game. He has all the talent in the world but plays with no passion, he could easily of been an 80 point guy but didn't put it all together. He is more talented than a lot of the NHL players but definitley not better until he matures.
Nikolai Freaking Zherdev. He has al the skill in the world, but if only he could fix his attitude and consistency problem, he could easily reach the PPG mark. God damn, that end to end rush at 0:30 was brilliant
This is a sick video, it's really great, and he's a great player, probably my favorite. But there's only one thing I have to correct you on. That is that he's from Ukraine. I have no problem with that being wrong, Great Video!
Let's not get carried away here folks. Forget Crosby, Malkin, Ovechkin, etc. Zherdev's not even a Patrick Kane or a Phil Kessel or even an Olli Jokinen. True, Z's got a tremendous upside, but he needs to work through some serious attitude problems before he ever becomes an elite player in the NHL. Period. And please don't get me wrong - I love him as a player - but let's not get carried away here.
im not trying to be mean but he is way better than kane and kessel they are decent players but 2n tier..and crosby ruined hockey with this new NHL i want the 90s back now
i hate the devils but i cant dis parise very good...but zherdev has so much more potential i think your seeing the best of zach now..nicky still has more to show the NHL
true. Following up on a career year last year, Zherdev is on pace to yet another career year. In the end though I think they will put up similar numbers and it will be debatable for a long time who is better. Its sad that the rangers could have had both right now.
Awesome! Thanks for making this. Hope you make another one in the near future! I really love you work. My parents are Russian and I just love the entertaining style of Russian hockey. I was floored when the rangers traded for Zherdev and he hasn't disappointed.
I love Russian Hockey players... no homo

This maybe a little much but he kinda plays like Ovechkin. I want Zherdev for the Avs that would be sick. (or Kovalchuk if he doesn't get resigned)

Hes better than 90% of all NHL players. KHL gave him more money, this is the only reason he leaved.
