I was going to wait to post this until after training camp, but since it made the NY Times, why not do it now?

I was there that night. Kirill is amazingly good. He was probably playing at about 1/5 of what he could play and was still 100x the best player out there. It was a great night (hell, I scored a hat trick and 3 assists!, 1 goal and 2 assists while Kirill was out there!). It was a night I will never forget. Despite the rumors about his attitude, he was extremely nice.

Funny thing was I have the 2010 Isles draft issued jersey! He was shocked when I pulled it out! He signed the fightstrap for me. I just gotta get the KABANOV nameplate made up.

That's cool! Sounds like a great guy.
