Nah, as a Blue Jackets fan I'm happy they drafted Oliver Bjorkstrand. Will be cheering for him and Denmark in upcoming games. Belarus doesn't have such talented youngsters.

I'm right there with you "Bro". Looking forward to seeing what Bjork can do in this tournament after his dominating year in Portland. Go Jackets!

He wont have much to work with, Team Denmark is a train wreck

Wow. Talk about a bad game. Congratulation to Belarus. Buckled up when things were tough and got rewarded.

Luckily this wasn't Norway or even worse Slovenia. That's like the only positive right now. Now we got two games to get our **** together and then it's showtime. Not that my confidence in this team is great right now. Wow

Just wait, the savior Maxim Sushko is on his way. Maybe not the absolutely best 99' you have, but this one at least is not playing for Russian U teams.

Thanks for the information, I've never heard of him. He has 30 points in 20 games playing against men as a 16 years old, not bad.
Russian U teams just killing development of our youngsters. We had that defenseman who chose to play for Russia. He never played for their national team, then wanted to get Belarusian citizenship back, but they told him to rot in Russia. What is his name? He was drafted in the middle 2000's and IIRC was 2nd best Russian defenseman in his draft year.
Drozd and Koltsov also were pushing by Russians to play for them, but they chose Belarus and have a few WC under their belts already.

Sounds like he got exactly what he deserved.

 

[Dima_BLR]

I Think Belarus takes this one 4-1

well, that was a very close shot, sir!

 

[AstrophysicalJet]

Indeed

Feeling that pain too. Russia lured Slava Trukhno to play in the U18 World Champs after he had received funding from Team Denmark. Needless to say, he has not been anywhere close to the Russian National Team ever since...

 

[admire]

Indeed

Oh, the the endless fun....

 

[AstrophysicalJet]

Oh, the the endless fun....

Oh come on, Gotta keep on trucking... I too am pissed, but being sulky wont help.

 

[GotTheMovesLikeJagr]

Told you before....This is not funny. Its just extremely depressing:-(

I can't survive in the b-group. I need a real world championship every year to bring me out of the winter depression.

Not here to jinx it (even if I am from your hated rivals), but the Division I A matches featuring Hungary and Poland (including the "final" between the two) were quite entertaining.

But if Denmark gets relegated, who can Norway hate then at the WHC? Sweden are too strong.

Not that impressive, Belarus2 is essentially a U20 league, but numbers unseen of since like forever.

There are plenty of such cases. Oleg Misyul commited to Belarus very late and is still a decent project in long term. Looks like Vladislav Kodola will finally commit too, and hopefully the elite WJC will be enough of a carrot to lure the youngest Karnaukhov back. But still there's a handful of good players that looks gone for good, like Kirill Petkov, Roman Krikunenko and there was a goalie whose name escapes me.

 

[Dima_BLR]

Kavyrshin scores his 2nd goal of the night and he had just 4 goals in 50 games in the KHL last season. I've seen everything now.

Imho, Kovyrshin has been put to a wrong defensive use in him KHL team. He's capable of scoring far more than that.

That evil Russia. How they dare skate a man who was born in beautiful Denmark city Voskresensk. ********.

 

[Bank]

Lauridsen With a GM, this game just, ugh.

I Can see it now, Denmark are relegated, and next year they ice the best team ever, who gets to shine in div 1

Isn't the Div 1 earlier in the year? So it would be even harder to get NA guys - and perhaps even disturb the preparation for some some of the euro-guys going far in the playoffs?

I hope one day we can get Galchenyuk back as well , even though he chose US instead of Russia. He visits Belarus pretty often cause his grandparents still live there. His father recently stated that Alex doesn't play for Belarus because no one asked him to. We used to have a lot of idiots running the hockey federation.

And I found that traitor who chose Russia and wanted to come back: Denis Grot, 2nd round pick in 2002. http://www.eliteprospects.com/player.php?player=19740
Wayne Gretzky's grandfather was proud that he was Belarusian. If those kids prefer Russia - screw them.

Unfortunately, that is impossible unless Dinamo Minsk signs him.

Indeed, both need at least 4 full consecutive seasons in Belarus, to become eligible again. Not gonna happen.

Russia is not at fault.....The player is a fraud however for taking money from team Denmark and then playing for Russia.

Sue him.

 

[admire]

Sue him.

lol....Why? Its not my money.

Im perfectly allowed to be of the opinion that he is a fraud for taking that money...doesn't mean I should sue him since he clearly didn't do anything illegal.

Why are you and your "finnish" friend here btw??

Did any of you watch the game, since you certainty didn't contribute to the thread? Or did you just come here to fight everybody who dares to say anything that might be construed as criticism of Russia?

Trukhno was free to choose to play for Russia. But, the purpose of the funding from Team Denmark was obviously that he was going to play for Denmark. There should have been a clause that said he had to pay the money back if he chose to play for another country.

Also, his choice of playing for Russia was clearly a bad move if he wanted to play in the World Championships.

There probably should be one. Interesting, after his case such clause exist or not?

Best wishes to Denmark and Latvia and all their fans. Gonna cheer for you the rest of the way.
