That’s just sad, he’s got the skills and size but the mental aspect is and always has been lacking.Ruzicka is being outscored by a 16 year old.
He benefited from playing with guys like kyrou and rymsha last year, he was more of a goal scorer last year. This year you see him pass the puck more and set up god teammates, and he was getting a lot of chances early in the year but he just couldn’t score, the last two weeks he’s been putting it in and starting to heat up abit more. Yes he never hits and he not aggressive at all, the only thing he uses his size for is protecting the puck and he’s very good at it. I feel he’s abit more engaged in the game and abit more aggressive than the last two years but it’s still a weakness of his.How has Ruzicka been this year? His points aren’t progressing the way I had hoped, although it looks like he’s a good face off man. He’s a lock to make this Slovak team but minutes are gonna be dependant on the actual level of effort he puts in. Last year he was given the 1C spot and looked like absolute garbage. He’s most likely going to be playing the wing this tournament unless he plays 3rd line centre behind Pospisil and Roman. What’s Adams game like compared to last year? Has he really not progressed? I’ve only seen him play for Slovakia team and he seems so uninvolved, he’s too nonchalant on the ice. He’s got a big body but was shying away from contact most of the time. I really don’t trust him against the other teams best players, that’s big reason he was benched for the last period against Sweden last year
Mittas Samuelsson, Quinn Hughes, Tyler Weiss. Samuelsson & Hughes are both on the USA WJ team. Weiss most likely would be too except was injured in October and just got back to playing a couple weeks ago.
McGregor is my bet for teddy bear goal.
Didn't get a chance to watch the game last night but, does anyone else think this team can do some serious damage in the playoffs? I know we've got more games played but, were in the 5 seed right now. A series vs OS, Kitchener, Saginaw or Guelph is absolutely winnable. I don't think we can win 4/7 vs London but maybe the Soo. I keep hearing about tanking but, damn I think this team can do good things right now. How valuable would playoff games be for Perrault and Rees this year too.Take another look - on the overhead view, it looks like the guy grabs the puck, but a stick blade can be seen hitting the puck into the net
Then why add him to the list? He did play in Sarnia and was traded for tk..... The list was for players who didn't come to Sarnia.... Sasha did and was traded. Stop being dumb.You can add Sasha Chmelevski to the list too
Sorry OP was looking at drafties who never played for Sarnia. Well he wasn’t there very long.
So Hughes is a scratch again ???Blair coffin gets the start tonight against Kingston, be nice if he could just be a decent goalie to give langevin a break here and there, and they can use these two the rest of the season and next year, that way Hughes won’t use up an OA spot and it will be better used on a forward or dman
So much for that wish... Coffin was generally ok on first shots, but completely unable to reset for any rebounds. That, coupled with terrible defensive zone coverage, meant lots of goals.Blair coffin gets the start tonight against Kingston, be nice if he could just be a decent goalie to give langevin a break here and there, and they can use these two the rest of the season and next year, that way Hughes won’t use up an OA spot and it will be better used on a forward or dman
Fishbowl comes off tomorrow for BurkeNolan Burke is only 15 that's why he still has to wear the cage helmet.Great pick by the Sting already 6' 1 & 185lb.
Is that a new rule for this year? Colton Kammerer was only 15 at the start of last season and he wore a shield, not a fishbowlNolan Burke is only 15 that's why he still has to wear the cage helmet.
Same with Marcus Gretz in Flint and I'm sure a few more kids last year and this year.Is that a new rule for this year? Colton Kammerer was only 15 at the start of last season and he wore a shield, not a fishbowl
Yes that is the issue - if they are 15 coming up from JrB and are not a signed player then they must wear the cage. Lots of 15 yr old kids that are signed don't have to.If your on a b card .maybe
Yes. Nice to see the place relatively full.Largest crowd of the season in Sarnia last night. Was it teddy bear toss?
