Beamer - This interview has us travel to the far away country...Mother Russia. Welcome Kir. Question 1. How do you see your Devils doing this year in SCD?
Kir - Hi, Beamer. Devils in SCD will be like Devils in NHL. I want playoff, but the result will depend on our young stars. Also i hope that Lehner's disease will stay in Buffalo.
Beamer - Yes..Lehner made some HUGE strides off ice and I hope his personal demons stay behind him now. Question 2. Who do you think are the finalists in both SCD and IRL NHL this year?
Kir - IRL NHL - Tampa vs San Jose. Tampa will play good, but win Sharks (( SCD - Carolina vs Flames. And the wiiiiiiiiner iiiiiiis Beamer ).
Beamer - Awww, I like that pick for SCD...I know Will is keen to repeat but I agree...a new champ will emerge in my opinion...i just hope I'm there come the end of the season. You're also right...Sharks look scary good and could very well be the winners of the Cup. Question 3. Given that the Devils has one of the greatest Soviet defensemen of all time (V Fetisov), who is the greatest Russian player of all time? And support why you think that.
Kir - It's not fair question. Any generation has his own legends. Too many names, that you didn't hear, because of the cold war. I have played versus Samsonov, he was brilliant. I saw Kharlamov on video. For me, the greatest is Krutov - Larionov -Makarov. But Yakushev is the best. Spartak Moscow forever! )).
Beamer - You mentioned one guy Valeri Kharlamov (before my time too) who was just superb....from what I gather, probably the best of all time but I agree....super unfair question to ask as there are tonnes of great Russian players. I even follow the English site for the KHL....one day I plan to see a game in that league too. I still marvel at Coach Tarasov and his book of drills that I have. Of course Vlad Tretiak was probably the best goalie of all time too. Question 4 .... are Lada's a reliant automobile? And why didn't they catch on in other parts of the world? Do they still exist in Russia?
Kir - )))))))) Lada??? its not a car, its constructor for elder ones. The place, where Lada is making is doomed!!!
Beamer - Says a lot about the cars then.... Last Question....if you could date a super model, who would it be and why?
Kir - Uuuuhhh. Every question is killing me ) I dont like supermodels, they are the same, like barby. Its not my ideal. Big bright eyers, good figure, smart, humor and big boobs... oh, its my wife ))).
Beamer- I know hard hitting questions.....but yes.. VERY RESPECTFUL and LOYAL.. to have your better half as your super model. Great answer (and undoubtedly the correct one). Thank you for answers and best of luck to you and your Devils this season Kir.
