2013-14 WJC Discussion

[EichHart]

I'd like to see Grigo go back to the Q.

Agreed finish the season in the Q. Go to Rochester next year and if his play is good enough call him up.

 

[Chainshot]

Marchand

Yandle as well.

 

[Jacob582]

So with Teuvo being similar to Kane and near NHL ready in 2 years ish, Does that allow Chicago to let Kane walk or trade him to Buffalo to spend there money elsewhere and have Teuvo fill Kane's spot? Nice thinking right? Mabye Kane will be more mature by then as well

So that's why Devine didn't draft Teuvo................

 

[SabresFan26]

What high-end offensive players has Ted Nolan developed in his career?

Offensively
Brad Marchand
Steve Sullivan
Geoff Sanderson
Andrew Cassels
Derek Plante
Brad Holzinger
Mike Peca
Frans Nielsen

Defensively
Adam Foote
Keith Yandle
Jay McKee
Alex Zhitnik

Not many offensive dynamos

 

[toejam56]

Simply put...Nolan's thing is making chicken salad out of chicken feathers.

 

[Mit Yarrum]

How many offensive-minded players has Nolan ruined?

I'll need some proof as well, thanks. Shouldn't be hard right?

 

[Fly Boy]

So are there any good Finnish netminders that are draft eligible this year?

 

[Savitar]

Grigorenko needs to go back to the Q

Gotta love the Finland coach. Does he know where Rochester is?

Sabres prospects Nikita Zadorov and Rasmus Ristolainen have been named the best defensemen at the world juniors.

 

[sivert]

Risto might cost finns gold with his last penalty. Controversial game by him today.

More like a controversial call on the penalty.

 

[sivert]

Not really. He clearly held that stick for a couple of seconds.

 

[toejam56]

Refs let them play all game then they feel the need to make a difference. Coulda shoulda been a non call.

 

[Zip15]

I was surprised by Risto's inclusion on both teams. He missed games with illness, and then was dog poo on Thursday. He even said that was the worst game he's played in the last two years. He's been solid since, though, and was an absolute monster against Canada. He's been pretty good today, too, but that penalty was unnecessary. May come to cost them.

 

[Beerz]

Not really. He clearly held that stick for a couple of seconds.

Given that the Swedes had 4 consecutive PP's before that call...with 9ish minutes left in the game...on a play that wasn't a scoring threat .. it was a chintzy call.

 

[Eram]

He's been dynamite in overtime so far, getting more chances than the forewords on his own team.

 

[Zip15]

Risto!! Golden goal!!

 

[Beerz]

Rasmus!!!

 

[Selanne00008]

Ristoooooo!!!!!

What an overtime he had. Very aggressive!!!

Idk who I like more, risto or zads

 

[sivert]

Wow. Risto finished it
