I"m looking forward to see how Yakupov will fit with Hall, RNH and Eberle on that Oilers' team... The guy is way too much individual and has a superiority complex because he is Russian...

Seriously he needs new linemates
euh...1 assist on the lone Trouba goal. After a really intense shift on the powerplay and a missed shot to the net. Wake up guy!
Along with Trouba, he's the best USA player..it's plain simple. It's stupid for him not to have more ice time than the Grimaldi, Gaudreau, Miller, etc. Galchenyuk should have a Canadian citizenship, he'll destroy the world.

The funny thing is that Galchenyuk has, alone, twice as many points as Miller, Gaudreau and Grimaldi combined.
is it me? Or are we a tad bit insecure about Galchenyuk?
WJC's is cool and all, but I don't think it will define Galchenyuk as a prospect...he doesn't need to rack up 2pts per game to justify his top flight prospect status
This game was a bit more quiet for him but again, the skill level is evident...he doesn't have to get another point in this tournament, my opinion of him will not have changed
Wow, Gally is being ripped by a couple of posters on the USA Roster discussion thread in the World Junior Championship forum. Here are a couple of posts about him..
"Galchenyuk looks pretty soft out there, hard to believe he was a 3rd pick overall. The Habs might have been sold a pup. Trouba has improved leaps and bounds. Great game for the neutral to watch, both the USA and Russia have the horses to beat Canada"
"I have been very underwhelmed bu Galchenyuk. Other than what appears to be a good stick, nothing else remotely says elite, nothing.
Trouba looks like a force so far. Best player by quite a bit for the US."

HF at WJC time turns into an absolute ****show in terms of getting a fair read on a player. It's all over the map. One bad game and people are ready to dump all over a guy they were raving about just pages earlier. Case in point - people were drooling over Jones before Nichushkin fed him his lunch. Now Jones is "Erik Johnson at best" and Nichushkin could challenge for 1st overall (I didn't make either of those up - both are from posts I've read in various threads today).
If you think Gally got it bad, check out the opinions tossed around about Yakupov and Barkov. Yakupov is "more of a Zherdev/Filatov type" and Barkov could fall out of the top ten. Again, both opinions I've actually seen other people post.
The problem is people finally get to see one or two games from players they've heard so much about, and if it doesn't live up to their expectations - well then the book is closed on that player.

That's because Gord Miller didn't help when he said on TSN that "if you didn't know who Nichuschkin is, now you know there's a new candidate for the top spot in the draft" Come on...

I actually didnt like gally's game too. While he wasnt soft, i didnt found him implicated in the play. Was floating, waiting for the puck. When he was getting the puck, he tried to pass the puck too quickly and it often led to nothing.
Im a big fan of him and i cant wait to see him against Canada on saturday!
