That would depend on which side if the Ural Mountains they fall on. West of the Urals is Europe while East of them is Asia.

Funny. If you guys would just get a deal done, you wouldn’t have to worry about not working right now. Sometimes I really do get the feeling that these guys have no idea what do do with themselves if they’re not playing hockey. At least college hockey players can maybe get some use out of that hotel management/forestry degree they worked so hard on.

@flyersgoal…If they were born East of the Ural Mountains, than yes. Otherwise, European-born is correct

Wouldn’t all of the Russian goalies be “Asian-born” goalies, not European? Just saying.

Also, Dubnyk, it’s particularly difficult to get a job over there if you suck.
