More Zherdev

While I was searching the internet for some more information I came across this article at globesports.com. It mentions that "Zherdev was the No. 4 pick in the 2003 draft and had to sneak out of Russia under cover of darkness to get to North America because he feared he might be compelled to remain in his homeland under the guise of required military service." Hello, Cherepanov are you reading this?? MSG just made a special subway stop so that the Siberian Express can pull in. The article states that Zherdev is selfish and never made public appearances. Because of that his teammates and fans never really accepted him. Ok well if he comes to the Rangers and scores goals, I don't think the fans will have any problem accepting him. Ranger fans are going to love this kid. The other writer here on Tyutinland sent me this and I thought everyone else should see the type of player we're getting. This kid has star potential.
