He actually reminds me more of Malkin than Matthews. Poor man's Malkin without Malkin's shot.

Shame on you! He is Malkin on steroids!

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Elias Pettersson is such an excellent hockey player.

 

[darko]

Well done to our boys today.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Andersson just stole the puck on the PP, passed it to Nylander who hit the bar.

 

[Trxjw]

Ugh. Fix is in already for the Canada/Finland game lol.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Belarus sucks, but their best player should be drafted this year, Yegor Sharagovich. He scored their only goal today, a shorthanded goal. He's been their best player. He's also putting up really good stats in the KHL for a player his age.

 

[nyr2k2]

The argument is that he's not playing much, so he's not having a good season. Thats a really short sided viewpoint, in my opinion. I've not seen one person actually outline what he's doing wrong this season other than not seeing much ice time.

He's playing for the defending Champions, so not some nothing team, and they have a lot of veterans who have a lot of clout within the organization. He's also one of the youngest players from the past draft.

I don't think your point is wrong, but if he had 1PPG in juniors, people would be claiming he's having a good season. Since he plays for a really good men's team in a really good league, they use his TOI against him. Now he's playing against his own age group getting a decent amount of ice time, and he's been very good.

I have no doubt what you're saying is correct. I just don't like when people use a performance in one competition to support or condemn conclusions about the player's performance in an unrelated competition.

It's like a footballer having a dreadful domestic campaign, but they pop in a few braces in the Europa League. Different competitions, different levels of competition.

Whatever, as long as our guy does well it's all good.

Not sure if Lias will be given credit for an assist on the first goal.

Solid day for NYR prospects. 3G 1A credited to the pair of Chytil/Andersson.

 

[FireGerardGallant]

Good first day for the future Rangers apparently, I'm excited to see them go up against one another on Thursday.

lol A finnish defender just assisted on Canada's goal

[Pavel Buchnevich]

That first Canada goal was a joke. Puck wasn't over the line when the Canada forward knocked the net off. I don't know how they called that a goal.

I was saying the same thing, its clearly not crossed the goal line fully with the net off the pegs....shouldnt have been a goal

 

[mrmovies779]

Talk about terrible defense lol....great shot though

 

[Griffinbw]

Anyone know how Chytils TOI stacked up with Necas and Zadina?

Chytil with 15:17
Zadina with 18:25
Necas with 22:02

I do not know off-hand how much Chytil missed due to being beaten and bruised all game-long.

He is not playing PK, Necas nad Zadina are (Necas atleast...).

 

[Irishguy42]

Wish their reports included SH/PP TOI

 

[Ex Officer Friendly]

It's disturbing that Chytil seems to be getting a ton of injuries so soon into his career.

His potential broken nose?? He collided with someone... it wasn’t his own doing.

 

[Ratelleitlikeitis]

Ugh. Fix is in already for the Canada/Finland game lol.

Ugh fix is in. Finns get their 4th powerplay to keep the game close

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

I think he only missed one shift due to the broken nose. Necas PK's, so he plays a lot more.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Taylor Raddysh is one of the most underrated prospects in hockey.

 

[Cassano]

Taylor Raddysh is one of the most underrated prospects in hockey.

Erie players get underrated because of McDavid factor.

So salty.
