C Alexandre Texier - KalPa, Liiga (2017, 45th, CBJ)

[Toligwen]

38 GP
6+20
S% 3,8
PDO 95,1

His goalscoring numbers gonna be lot higher end of the season. 17 games left

Agreed, he had a very very poor S% this far, and it might be due to change. Moreover, he seems to have found back his chemistry with Ikonen since him returning to play

By the way, I did a mistake earlier, stating he was tied 1st in points ; he's apparently only leader by 1

 

[Toligwen]

I believe he has points in 7 straight games.

Now on an 8-game point streak - 14 in the last 10

Kind of an under the radar prospect these days around CBJ HF. He'll probably have another year over in Finland before jumping over, but glad to see most Kalpa fans are happy with his play.

 

[NoMessi]

We need more players like Texier, Draisaitl & Sprong to expand this sport to non-traditional hockey countries.

He is yet another prospect that refuses to play for his national team because he consider himself too good for it and want to play for Canada.

Shameful and to be honest I dislike him because of it.

In fact, the Dutch hockey federation simply can’t afford his insurance. Plus, yes, he basically grew up in Canada.

Yes I do. Play for the country of your parents or you are a disgrace. Shameful as the Qatar national handball team.

You are way too angry about this.

 

[stevo61]

Why did the Sprong and Texier threads get merged?

Back on track, texier is good at hockey. I love these type of Jarmo picks. Oshie, Dano, Texier, etc. Bit off the radar but exciting and seeing them rise above expections is really fun to watch.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Another goal for Tex today.

Oh shut up. He grew up in Canada and has played in the Canadian system at all levels. Providing he has the right documentation and citizenship and meets IIHF requirements (which he does) he has every right to play for Canada.

Also this is a thread about Alex Texier, not Daniel Sprong. If you want to talk about Daniel Sprong, go talk about him in his own thread.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Kalpa finished out of the playoffs, but Texier killed it this year. He should be in Cleveland within a week to start playing in the AHL.

Last game of the year tonite had 2g and 1a and the GWG in OT against the top team in the league.

Blue Jackets Assign Center Alexandre Texier To Monsters

This guy will be in nhl soon

3C?

 

[JoukoPouko]

3C?

Texier projects to become a top-six winger. Hasn't played more than a few games down the middle in Finland.

I still think the kid is a C. We drafted him as a C and he decided to go to finland to play for better competition and to develop more. They had guys they thought better at C and Tex is still a kid learning so they put him at wing. No doubt in my mind he all day could be a C. He has so much play making abilities and can pass as well as.he can shoot. People thought PLD was going to be a winger as well.

Kapanen played defenseman and wingers at C rather than Texier for some reason.

Only one coach though, might be different when he moves to North America.

Texier is a shoot-first type player, much better suited for wing. As mentioned above, there were times when KalPa was in desperate need of centers, and they decided not to use him there.

Most forward prospects who end up on NHL radar grow up playing center, only a small portion of them end up being there at the top level.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

I think he'll be a LW

 

[Jorma Heart]

I think he'll be a LW

Me too. Nothing I've seen suggests that he would do better on C.

This jersey is putrid... WTF ?

Good shot !

Dude, you are fully right.

Following his first goal, one more and two assists in his next
