Prospect Info: #187OA - Hurricanes select G Nikita Quapp

[DaveG]

6th round pick in a year where barely anyone even played hockey?

Guarantee there was zero scouting on this kid. He was drafted 100% based on name.

Sorry, we would have just taken him at 27 instead of trading down if that was the case

That's a stupid suggestion. I tell you our organization did their utmost and got us the very best talented kid for every pick, Bobby Orr and those others.

Seems the last few rounds consisted of the draft team reading off names, giggling, and calling it in.

I bet Islanders was about to take Lorenzo Canonica in the seventh round, but some scout made a heartfelt last second Machu pitch.

Something something Ned, something something cheap, fifth different thread consumed by the same argument and...

Go!

whatever you think of ned, it is undeniable that out goalie prospect depth is now pretty quapp-y

 

[bleedgreen]

Yes, El Quappo I would say you have a plethora of sweaters.

 

[To Be Determined]

do you know what a plethora is?

 

[Navin R Slavin]

do you know what a plethora is?

Oh yes, El Guapo.

 

[To Be Determined]

i need to watch that again soon. i own a physical copy, even.

so many great lines. even the stuff that shouldn't be funny, they make funny. i die at "sew, very old one. sew like the wind!"

 

[To Be Determined]

and because i needed to see it all written out ...


Jefe: We have many beautiful piñatas for your birthday celebration, each one filled with little surprises!
El Guapo: How many piñatas?
Jefe: Many piñatas, many!
El Guapo: Jefe, would you say I have a plethora of piñatas?
Jefe: A what?
El Guapo: A plethora.
Jefe: Oh yes, El Guapo. You have a plethora.
El Guapo: Jefe, what is a plethora?
Jefe: Why, El Guapo?
El Guapo: Well, you just told me that I had a plethora, and I would just like to know if you know what it means to have a plethora. I would not like to think that someone would tell someone else he has a plethora, and then find out that that person has no idea what it means to have a plethora.
Jefe: El Guapo, I know that I, Jefe, do not have your superior intellect and education, but could it be that once again, you are angry at something else, and are looking to take it out on me?

 

[To Be Determined]

jefe's last line could be a response on many, many, many threads here at hfboards

 

[DougieSmash]

LET'S HOPE HE'S BETTER THAN ROB ZEPP

 

[Unsustainable]

 

[Stanky and Janky]

That's good to hear because his numbers have been very bad to start the year. That only brought him down to just above a 4 GAA and .882. Granted, I have no context for how well he's played or what a good GAA and sv% there is.

 

[Jersey Fan 12]

Perhaps some of the one-liners on here were a bit premature. Apparently he's missed much of the season due to injury/illness but he was very good for Germany today in holding Sweden to one goal at the World Juniors.

May be something to see here.

Perhaps they will prove to be one day but you can’t argue he has put up some pretty terrible numbers the past few years. Hopefully he can start playing more games than he has over the last couple seasons so he can have a better chance at reaching his potential.

As impressive as he looked today you can’t read too much into a single world jrs game. Every few years there’s a random goalie from a smaller hockey nation who stands on his head against one of the powerhouses. You generally never hear about them again.

 

[Navin R Slavin]

Oh Nikita, you will never know
Anything about our home
You'll never know how good it feels to storm surge
(Storm surge)
But goalies are voodoo, so...

 

[chaz4hockey]

8 goals against USA...ouch. Jackson Blake got one too.

 

[WreckingCrew]

Not gonna judge a goalie for GER against the likes of USA/CAN...odds are unless those teams are playing like absolute shyte they're gonna get lit up

 

[Cardiac Jerks]

8 goals against USA...ouch. Jackson Blake got one too.

Did you expect a different outcome?

 

[Cardiac Jerks]

Canada’s “best ever” world junior team in OT against Slovakia right now. What a crazy game it’s been.

Edit: oops wrong thread

 

[Alessandro Seren Rosso]

Just published a story about him. Quapp had a busy summer, changing teams and participating in the Canes' rookie camp.

Have a good read!
