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

[CherryToke]

That was some horrid defending. I'm not sure how that's the fault of anyone other than Sandin. Looks like a yellow traffic cone.

 

[Finnipeg]

Even as a Finn I can admit Sandin was not a traffic cone. He was on the ice for two minutes before the OT goal and was not allowed to change because of his two other teammates changing. He was just tired. He let in 3 whole goals this tournament when on the ice. Two of those being non 5v5 situations. Think about it.

 

[3 Minute Minor]

Can people not see he played 1:56 out of 3:24 of OT?

He was caught in a tough spot while tired. That doesn't define his entire tournament & cap his potential. Anyone trying to use it that way should probably be removed from the Prospect section because they're clearly trolls

 

[WetcoastOrca]

I agree that he had a strong tournament. Was definitely the goat on that last goal but one mistake shouldn’t detract from a really good game and tourney. He had a very good final game!

 

[ZEBROA]

The fault he did was to not change earlier.

 

[foggyvisor]

Unfortunately his points were erased by his defending on that goal.

 

[foggyvisor]

Little fun fact, Sandin was only on the ice for 3 goals against this tournament
1 at 5on5
1 on the PK
1 3on3

1 was the semi-final OT winner against

 

[3 Minute Minor]

1 was the semi-final OT winner against

He also had 4 points in the semi-final, does that mean he should be an all-star NHL fwd?

Brutal defending by Sandin. Cost his team a chance at a gold medal.
Sucks for Sweden Soderstrom wasn’t in for Sandin on that goal, he would’ve easily stopped the Russian player streaking in.

Sandin looks like Jake Gardiner out there.

 

[Uncle]

lol at these trolls, unbelievable. Sandin was Mr everything for Sweden and deserves nothing but praise as he looked like the real deal in all aspects of the game. Tough play under the biggest microscope at the end but the low lifers trying to drag this kid are otherworldly.

you could argue Sandin was 100% responsible for them losing in overtime, because without him they'd have been demolished in regulation

yeah darn Sandin only putting up 4 points, clearly cost his team the game...

Can't believe he was on the ice for 3 goals against through the whole tournament, what a liability...

Thank you! A reasonable Leafs fan!!!

Sandin looks to be a Jake Gardiner clone!

I think your misspelling Erik Brannstrom

 

[Orca Smash]

I am really impressed whenever i see him, I think he is going to be a fantastic player in the nhl. I noticed him in preseason when i checked out some leafs games and thought he looked great all tournament.

As a canucks fan who desperately wanted pettersson and hughes i will point out both received criticism in wjc and did not always live up to expectations, hughes If memory serves me had a costly giveaway last year in a big game, sandin will be fine, dont get to or high or low on prospects in these short tournaments and dont live and die on a mistake. Unfortunately these kids are under such a huge microscope in a very short sample size where everyone dissects every play, which is ok imo if you keep it in context and evaluate the player as a whole (even beyond just this tournament). And overall I thought sandin looked very good.

We will see if im wrong or not in the future.

 

[LeProspector]

No Brannstrom looks to be more like a T.J Brennan type player IMO.

Jake Gardiner is a fine player, Ottawa would be lucky if he became a player like Gardiner.

 

[Tierce]

The reason couldn't possibly be that he has actually in fact been the best overall d-man in the tourney? I have a feeling when they name the best defensemen tomorrow we might be hearing his name again.

Romanov has been better overall, but Sandin stands a chance as a 2-peat is quite rare. Loved his play.

I mean they don't play anything alike. But I mean Gardiner wouldn't even be a bad outcome, it just a terrible comparison that's all.

 

[Judas Tavares]

got drafted by the leafs...

This is an issue for a lot of people. Leafs + positivity causes them to get triggered and defensive to the point where they actually melt. They can't handle it.

 

[Kairi Zaide]

I have to say, I don't like the Leafs, and I hope Sandin busts, but that's very accurate.

 

[ViewsFromThe6ix]

CJ on headlines tonight said Sandin might be with the Leafs when he returns from the WJs

 

[Canucks LB]

I thought he was very impressive throughout the entire tournament

 

[oooooooooohCanada]

Just ignore the people blaming the goal on Sandin. He probably could have read the play a bit better but he was gassed and I don't think he realized that his team was in the middle of a change which allowed the Russian player with that route around Sandin. If the guy was where Sandin thought he was (closer to Sandin) the Russian wouldn't have had the room to get between the two of them.

This post is actually worse than what happened in that overtime!

 

[unitedstars87]

What? The guy started at his own blue line. It was as clean a 1 on 1 as it gets. He got beat. It wasn't anyone else's fault but Sandin. Doesn't change how good he was otherwise.

Who cares he will be a Leaf soon. Enjoy
