F Bruno Idzan - HV71 J18, J18 Region (2024 Draft)

[bv29]

there is no harm in hoping for great things as a croatian hockey fan.

Sure, no harm except for bitter dissapointment. I am following our hockey for very long time and I am good predictor. I can tell you right now that Idžan will find no place at NCAA D1 and that all three Croatian teams will go one Division down this season. Sisak is on it's last legs, we are living end days of hockey in Croatia.

The fact that a player plays in

You mixed me with someone because I never made any post about Serbia and Duimć. Only post ever about our eastern neighbours was wishing Zvezda to join KHL.


p.s. regarding your mockery of Poland, judging by your post history you are either Austrian or Slovenian. In case you are latter, I have one interesting data for you. All time meetings between Poland and old Yugoslavia (basically Slovenia) from 1939 to 1991 are 21 games, 2 wins for Yug(Slo), 1 tie, 18 Poland (54:135 GD).

The fact that a player plays in Poland doesn't make him a frightening difference maker on D2A level, even Rendulić wasn't that and he was from KHL. This isn't ridiculing polish hockey, just reality. Using him as an ultimate cheat code was absurd.

Example, Sherbatov didn't make a force out of Israel.

Croatian cynicism is a powerful force believe me I know growing up in Zagreb and Vancouver

It’s residue from communist Yugoslavia that still lingers in the general perception of things
