Errors and Corrections: Fashion Police

Sometimes, as a guy with no formal writing experience, you rush into an article without doing the appropriate amount of research, or say something really dumb. I'm awesome at that.

Tight Pants: Kirill Petrov

Admit it. You've been watching the KHL (and reading our liveblogs) only because you're following your favorite NHL players during the lockout. It's alright, I'm not faulting you for it, it's sort of the logical move. But have you actually sat down and watched the KHL? It's surprisingly good. There's quite a few KHL players, be they Russians or European that you should be paying attention to. Ones that probably won't be going back to the NHL when the lockout ends. Maybe they should, though. I'm going to start up a series of a few posts talking about players in the KHL you should be paying attention to. I'd like to introduce you to Kirill Petrov.
