NYIJM29 Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 I was going to wait to post this until after training camp, but since it made the NY Times, why not do it now? http://slapshot.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/09/28/connected-by-facebook-islanders-prospect-joins-fans-for-night-of-roller-hockey/?ref=hockey#postComment 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerseymikea Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 That's cool! Sounds like a great guy. Great story! Hey, at least he is out there meeting people...Chances are he only knows "hockey people" and his teammates. It's a good social oppurtunity for him and he made a memorable night for all involved.
