KIRILL KABANOV RUMORS
Dee Karl: BST Lose More Than A Game
Certainly a lose for the talented Bridgeport Sound Tigers had to happen sooner or later. And I believe I even said they would lose last night's game. But it seems they may have lost more than just the game.
Kirill Kabanov was battling along the boards and ended up at Nick Petrecki's of the Shark's feet. He quickly skates to the bench to be attended to. Spectators...
Dee Karl: Guess Whose Coming to Dinner
Today's guest of the NY Islanders is Mikhail Grigorenko. The imposing Russian forward at 6'2" and 183 pounds did not participate in the physicals at the combine as he recovers from mono. (insert middle school giggle here)
Grigorenko scored 85 points this past season in 59 games for the Quebec Ramparts (40 goals, 45 assists. Nice!)
Is Garth thinking this will...
Dee Karl: Memorial Cup/Memorial Day/& A Signing?
Congratulations to the Shawinigan Cataractes (means Waterfalls) for winning the Memorial Cup last night. It was their first win in franchise history and there are 58 teams who vie for it yearly. Wow! NY Islanders prospect, and Russian bad-boy Kirill Kabanov had an excellent game to cap off a good season of growth. Hopefully he gained more than just the 25 lbs he says he put on...
In The End
Kirill Kabanov (77)- Terry Wilson/CHL Images
It came down to one New York Islander prospect leading his team against one New York Ranger prospect and his team at the tiebreaker game of the 2012 Memorial Cup.
Kirill Kabanov (NYI 2010 3rd) led his Shawinigan Cataractes to a pretty easy 6-1 win over Michael St. Croix (NYR 2011 4th) and his Edmonton Oil Kings. Kabanov earned...
Kabanov Has Big Night in Memorial Cup
Kirill Kabanov had a big night for the Shawinigan Cataractes, contributing a goal and an assist in his teams 6-1 routing of the Edmonton Oil Kings.
The Isles prospect contributed his third assist of the tournament on Shawinigan’s first goal of the night feeding Brandon Gormley, who put It into the net. Kabanov scored the Cataractes’ fourth goal of the night 2:56 into the second...
Surprise Surprise
Kabanov- Moncton Wildcats
Day three of the 2012 Memorial Cup featured New York Islander prospect, Kirill Kabanov (2010 3rd) and his Shawinigan Cataractes taking on the OHL champion London Knights. On the surface this one looked like it would be a mismatch, especially after London defeated defending Memorial Cup Champion Saint John the night before.
Surprise, surprise somebody...
Not A Good Night For Islander Prospects Either
Tuesday night was not a good night for New York Islander prospects either as the only two to see action had so-so games.
In Shawinigan, Kirill Kabanov (NYI 2010 3rd) saw his 7 game scoring streak come to a crashing halt as Kabanov and his Shawinigan Cataractes were spanked 5-1 by the Gatineau Olympiques. The loss also snapped a 3 game winning streak that the Cataractes were on...
Hostage Taking Hockey Style
There are times when the rules of hockey can do more harm than good to a prospect's development.
Keep him or send him back? Sit him or play him? Trade his rights or not?
Kirill Kabanov (NYI 2010 3rd) who's junior rights currently belong to the Blainville-Boisbriand Armada of the QMJHL is in such a limbo. What we should be talking about here is what Kabanov did Wednesday...
