LD Rasmus Sandin - Rogle BK, SHL (2018, 29th, TOR)

[the paisanos guy]

Looked great out there, him and Romanov will be rivals for years to come and that's exciting.

They always give these awards three last year eligible players. In no way was he better than Söderström overall in this tournament.

Oh ok what about the players:

Or his own teammate

Swedish centre David Gustafsson was frustrated to see another blatant attempt to injure.
"It's the second game in a row," said the Winnipeg Jets prospect. "We're leading the game and they just go slashing. It's on our best player, too.“

Is that supposed to be a negative?

Well, not at all, playing in the NHL is always a positive. It's just does Toronto really need another Jake Gardiner, that is the question.

I mean he doesn't play like Gardiner really in any way what so ever but a Gardiner like career would be awesome for him.

Really doubting your grasp on hockey if you see Jake Gardiner from Rasmus Sandin. One skates himself out of trouble using his edges, the other using positioning.

In the game vs Russia Sweden defense was good only in 5 vs 4 situations and was grossly outplayed in 5 vs 5. That's including Sandin, who was outplayed in 3 vs 3 as well, wwhich costed Sweden the game.

 

[stickty111]

Do you mean, another Jake Gardiner?

He's nothing like Gardiner. He honestly is like Ryan Suter. See if you can make stuff up, I can also do it.
Leafs haters are just mad Leafs have another great prospect

But Jake Gardiner has always been best 5v5?

That was a team issue, not Sandin.
Crosby also got outplayed in the Isles series. Does that make him a 4th line centre.
Don't post dumb stuff.

He was outplayed 1 vs 1 on that goal.

 

[stickty111]

Great tournament by him, and carried the team today. Leafs drafting continues to look amazing.

 

[stickty111]

He was outplayed 1 vs 1 on that goal.

Yes he was, but thats one bad play.
Lidstrom get outplayed on a play in the NHL too. Means nothing.

Damn. If only Sandin didn’t get 4 primary points, including 2 goals, then Russia would have won in regulation and a weak goal during 3 on 3 overtime wouldn’t have defined Sandin’s career (in your eyes). Bad luck for him, being so good this game, I guess

 

[Kshahdoo]

But Jake Gardiner has always been best 5v5?

He wasn't very good defensively, and he still isn't.

 

[stickty111]

The good thing is Sandin is nothing like Gardiner so we don't need to worry about it.

 

[Kshahdoo]

He was outplayed in OT, which costed his team the final...

 

[HOPE]

Sandin will be a good one! Thought he’d slip into the early 2nd at the draft! Good pick Toronto, Well played.

 

[Neutral Hockey Fan]

This trolling isn’t even clever

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

Great prospect.

 

[stickty111]

Doesn't matter. It's one play when he made many great plays the entire game. I think your letting your biases get in the way.

 

[Kshahdoo]

Man, then the whole Toronto board is a conclave of trolls. They hate, when players make even a one bad play, and when that play costs the Leafs something big...

Neither me nor you are leaf fans, so why would I (or you, for some strange reason) care how leaf fans act on their own board? Weird

...except he didn't get 4 primary points. Did you even watch the game?

You’re right, he only got 4 points, with 2 goals and 3 primary points. Such a bad performance. You got it

 

[garyturner3]

Don't Canadian hockey fans call TSN Toronto's Sports Network?

So are you implying Button is only saying Sandin is the best d-man in the tourny because he's a Leaf prospect?
