WJC: 2018 Belarus Roster talk
- Thread starter Pan
- Start date
-
HFBoards is well aware that today is election day in the US. We ask respectfully to focus on hockey and not politics.
Players to look at:
Yegor Sharangovich, recently became a KHL's Dinamo Minsk second line and PP-unit player. Quite poor statistics (4+6 in 39 games) for a top-6 forward but he started the season in checking-lines and poor statistics is the problem the whole team suffers.
Maksim Sushko, the OHL's Owen Sound Attack second best goal scorer with 24 (15+9) points in 26 games.
Vladislav Yeryomenko, the WHL's Calgary Hitmen top-line defenseman and second best points leader with 24 (6+18) points in 29 games.
Alexander Lukashevich, NTDP team best scorer with 24 (14+10) points in 25 games.
Gennadi Malashchenko, not the scoring leader but most of his goals he scored in games vs Extraleague top teams.

I don't know if Sapego will be going, he looks to be out for awhile, which is a loss on the back end for them.
Other than Sapego not being there, they have a pretty good team for them, did alright at the U-18's last year, the hothouse U-20 team does pretty well in the pro league, led offensively by Lukashevich and Anisimov, near PPG's, but it's a different story playing vs. local men than playing the best U-20's in the world. Sushko, Philly pick and near PPG in the OHL, Yeryomenko a near PPG D man in the WHL, Martynov and Mikhalchuk are other decent forwards in the CHL. Martynyuk is talented on the back end in the MHL. Sharangovich looks to lead the way for forwards at least and at center, as he plays full time in the KHL. Goaliewise, Grishenko looks to be at least somewhat solid, plays for the hothouse team, but will of course really be tested at this level.

Deryabin has played just 1 KHL game, spent most of his time with the U20 team.
I think they have a decent chance to beat the Swiss, perhaps even do more, but they have to play the Swiss the day after they face Sweden, so will it be good for them or not, it's also the 2nd day of the event, so the rele game comes early.

I just meant poor stats for a top-6 and pp-squad forward. Getting there is obviously an upfront for him, but he's doing quite well though.
I agree but at least he is definitely going to get a chance in the camp.

I agree, If their coach will make them play coherent hockey, they should be surviving if not doing more.

I believe you mean Dmitri Deryabin, he got 2 game KHL trial not long ago. Also the wole first line for Belarus was not playing. But yeah, I'm just speaking based on the game protocol obviously 5:0 scoreline could be misleading me.

Yup that's who i meant. I asked some of the boys after if belarus had anyone they thought was sick and they all said #5 the Dman.
oh i know. It's funny i work with the coach for the junior sabres so i was literally in this thread looking at who the top scorers and better players are and texting him lol. I was like sushko and that one defensemen are out but if 9,12 and 14 together that's probably the top line, which they were together and then i was texting him #5 played a couple KHL games etc... so he's probably good lol.
But yeah basically it was anybodies game until the 3rd when belarus poured it on
