GDT: Four Nations Face-Off

Really a shame that Russia and the Czechs didn’t have a team, although I was thinking about it , would Malkin be the top center for the Russian team ? Weird that RUSSIA develops so many elite wingers , but not many centers these days.

As a CBJ fan my first priority for the championship game tomorrow night is that Z comes out of it healthy.

Good to know that all the camps I went to as a kid weren't helping

What a fascinating article and enjoyed the insight. These are the kinds of articles that keep me subscribed to TA. The comments Oettinger made make a lot of sense explaining why more and more kids skipped the CHL over the last 10-15 years in order to preserve their NCAA status. Even with the ability to jump from the CHL to NCAA now, seems like it is much easier to get lost or forgotten in the CHL meat grinder.

Are there even enough Czech players in the NHL to field a complete team? I don't even think they have 6 D in the NHL.
