3 points already (1G, 2A) in a 5-4 game with 5 minutes to go in the 2nd)

 

[Kovalev27]

I feel like he pots one more

I can't wait to see him live again tomorrow.

Is this tournament of prospects on his level or is he beating up on scrubs?

 

[Kovalev27]

Feels like anytime he plays against his age group he beats up on them

The WJC will be a real spot light for him to get noticed for sure

It's U20, while he's still 18 years old. He's been on the ice for 4 of Russia's 5 goals. This tournament is part of the U20 Four Nations.

Drafted players on the Czech team:

Jakub Skarek
Lukas Dostal
Jakub Galvas
Jan Jenik

Keep an eye on Michal Teplý for the upcoming draft. That kid is going to rise!

To be honest I would be disappointed if he wasn't lighting it up against kids his own age.

Of course. And it's good to see him living up to the expectations

Kravtsov puts up points: He's expected to do that
Wahlstrom doesn't put up points: It's a team game / It's a small sample size etc etc

Not directed at anyone here, FYI. Just something I've noticed in general

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Russia kills off a 5-on-3 PP to win the game 6-5. Kravtsov ends the game with 1 goal, 3 assists, 4 SOG and 2 drawn penalties (And served a too many men)

Hey @Amazing Kreiderman, any color please to Kravtsov’s performance on other shifts?

His teammates are looking for him all the time. It's so obvious they look up to him. He is the leader of the team out there in Hodonin. Several times he skates into the CZE zone at ease, and then finds teammates wide open. The vision is just remarkable. At times, I felt he was trying to do too much but I feel that's just a natural result of him being the go-to guy. He was out there creating scoring chances out of nothing. He ended with a +4 which says it all in a 6-5 win (And I am not a fan of plus-minus but it tells a story here).

1 of his 4 points came on the PP, which means he was on the ice for at 6 goals, and 1 against.

I wish they would credit the person uploading those videos. I think it's a disgrace that a professional organization like the Rangers just cherry-picks stuff they find elsewhere on Twitter and posts it as their own without even mentioning the source.

Sorry man. Tracking a game, and Tweeting about it, and then sharing it here is a lot of work

To be fair, he probably came out in someone elses' uniform for that play just to make you think that he left.

Does that person not know about it, not care, or just can't do anything about it?

Thanks a bunch!

Hopefully this provides a perspective for some posters - this domination against pretty much the top competition in his age group (only marginally higher at WJC U20) corresponds to 11 points in 24 games against men in the KHL.

I spoke to him (Alex Nunn) and he knows. He just doesn't really know what to do about it. It is just annoying. Give credit to the person who puts in the work. They did the same with my Kravtsov stat tweets earlier this season.

Any time, man. Happy to help.

No problem, its great to see Kratsov doing so good against his peers

Oh man, that pass is SO sweet.

 

[Kovalev27]

I just tweeted that very thing. Stealing the guys feeds?
