@jvirtala1984 What is your problem? Kuznetsov is a great skater, he doesn't have that frenzy like Ovechkin but he's a natural skater and he skate a lot like Alexei Morozov. Just some weeks ago he was the second fastest skater in KHL SuperSkills competition. Tarasenko is AWESOME and a lot more like Ovechkin with his skating (Ovechkin is not a pure natural skater..) he has frenzy and they call him "Bulldozer" for a reason. You don't have to skate like a fucking ice dancer to reach the NHL.
@LAJJZZ: I didnt say one has to be perfect skater. I just dont see what the hype is all about? These videos are from U20 WC. These two guys have pld for Russian hockey team this season (I mean adults) vs Team Finland for example. They did nothing on the ice, and Finland had domestic player and few KHL players in the team. I just meant that they are far far far away from world class level. Hopefully they reach it and show the magic
@jvirtala1984 And... Both Kuzya and Volodya is two of the best players in the entire KHL (the second best league in the world), Tarasenko is second beyond Radulov and Bochenski in scoring and he's just 20. I'm a huge fan of Mikael Granlund but Granlund: 46P in 40GP this season. Kuznetsov: 37P in 42GP. And KHL is much better than SM-Liiga.
Nothing special. Skating is leaps and bounds away from NHL level
