This is not wholesome at all....

But what if his wife told him he could do it?

It's all good as long as he said "bye bye" as he skated by.

The Canadian team is really nothing to write home about either- so, it'll be interesting if teams like the Swiss or Belarus get some traction.

Looks like he’s giving them the “ok” sign to me

That's probably even worse considering what people say that sign is nowadays.

So what did Shara end up with for points ? Glad he is still producing with other line mates .

He’s a keeper. When is the last time NJ had someone this young with that release while having a great skating game? I’d sign him up for a really good contract.

Yegor doesn't finaly ready for his new status. In NHL nobody waits so much from him, so each his mistake here isn't make so big pressure on him. But in national team, where only he plays in NHL right now, people see in him even not 1-st line NHL player, they see somebody like wizard and wait something like magic. And they show it him regularly.
Also you must understand that in Belarus awful political situation right now. For example yesterday died one political prisoner. Whole country under repression. Hockey is "presidents" favorit kind of sport. So many people doesn't support national team. Even opposite. Looks like main part of fans supports opponents of national team. Quite a lot people are disappointed that he joined to this team. Of course players know it.
And now remember that he's only 22, and just a season ago he was middle class player in AHL... To my mind it was coach's mistake gave him capitan. It's only additional pressure for him in this difficult situation.
PS: sorry fo possible mistakes - English not my native language.

Putting his country on his back and telling the other team to f*** off?

I couldn’t be f***ing prouder.

I adore Yegor.

This very ugly hockey.

Hellickson is 55 for anyone watching

This very ugly hockey.

As opposed to some of the Devils-Rangers replacement games a month ago that were over five minutes after they started?

I feel like that’s too old to be playing in this tournament.

No, we know bad hockey. We've seen it over the past 10 years, so we are actually pretty well qualified to identify it

Truth

 

[NJ Fan 12]

Couldn't watch this morning and only followed game via updates.

Any thoughts on two players from Finland - the goalie Olkinuora (who played college hockey at Denver and I believe was in the Colorado organization for a couple years) - and forward Hannes Bjorninen?

Any potential for either as an NHL free agent?
