Yashin Producing for Russia’s Lokomotiv Yaroslavl
November 8th, 2007 by Tom
It appears former Islander Alexei Yashin is doing a pretty good job producing for Lokomotiv Yaroslavl of the Russian Super League. Yashin joined the team after he did not receive any suitable offers from NHL teams following his 2006-07 campaign with the Isles. Now, we admit that to us Russian looks like some kind of scary alien language, so the team’s Web site isn’t much help. We were able to deduce that in 13 games, Yashin had poured in seven goals and notched 12 assists. Is Yashin rejuvenated playing in his homeland or is the competition in the Russian Super League that far below that of the NHL? We welcome your thoughts. In the meantime, enjoy the shot of Yashin in his new Lokomotiv duds.
