Russan Hockey Fans published an interview Flyers rookie netminder Sergei Bobrovsky yesterday and translated it to english for us Americans… In the interview they asked him how he doing with the English language?
↵↵↵“I wouldn’t say that I have big problems with it. I get what they say me, but it’s hard to talk myself. My team mates are good guys, there is a great atmosphere. In such an environment I don’t feel myself out of place because of the language. I arrived three weeks before the training camp’s start and they assigned an English teacher to me and I studied almost every day. Now that the games are started there is no free time and I cope with the language myself. I have to go nowhere, all the people around me talk in English!”

I got a kick out of what he said about the city of Philadelphia.
↵↵“The team’s training center isn’t in Philadelphia, but in a nearby city called Voorhees. I live in a hotel not far. This is why I didn’t have the chance to visit all the important parts of the city. Philadelphia is a great city. There are a lot of great buildings, I put one of them on my mask. Also the arena is great.”
