Last night, while checking out a few sites on the internet
that I visit from time to time, I came across this little news nugget on the MSGwebsite. The Sports channel that covers the New York Rangers, New York Islanders
and New Jersey Devils has announced that
they will show two KHL games this month on their network.
The games will be Friday October 26, (Dinamo Minsk versus
Barys Astana) and Wednesday October 31 (SKA. St. Petersburg vs Dinamo Riga.)
Both games will be on DirecTV 634.
Playing for Barys is former University of Wisconsin Badgers defenseman Ryan
McDonagh and former Fighting Sioux forward Brandon Bochenski.
Former Wisconsin Badgers forward Joe Pavelski along with former UMD Bulldog Tim Stapleton players for Dinamo Minsk
