Prospect Info: Sergei Murashov, 118th overall, 2022 NHL Draft

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

It was presumably a lot more fun when the WV drinking age was 18, but that was a long time ago.

Alex P. Keaton agrees.

Wheeling has kind of an interesting history, actually. But I'm certainly not going to bore anyone more than I already have and Google is a thing so yeah.

I think it was Spezza who was talking about investing in Wheeling to make it a better place to play. With the amount the Pens will be drafting the next few years, a lot of prospects are going to find their way down there.

The Fed and state just dumped like 32+ million into the city infrastructure and they have invested boatloads into the waterfront and have another 60ish million dollar convention center planned for down there. They have also renovated many of the old original Victorian buildings and demolished the ones that were beyond hope. So as much as ya'll (and myself) rip on the town it's actually getting better. I was down there this Summer for a waterfront event and was surprised at the amount of people under the age of 40 there.

Even the food scene is... well... still shit. But better shit!

It occurs to me I've never actually been to Wheeling. Sounds like the eldest and I may need to plan a Nailers-themed road trip.

Dubas was big on the pipeline from ECHL, AHL, NHL in Toronto.

He's likely trying to mimic it.

He did have some hits, but sadly he let most of them go, I believe both Joshua and Marchment spent time in the ECHL.

You definitely should, it's a fun time and you might get to see a Murashov for $10

Someone said to check out Avenue Eats next time I'm there? Any thoughts on this place?

It's REALLY damned good and not just because I know the owners. It's a burgers and bar kinda place but they really go all out on the quality of food aspect of burger-making. And you can tell. Location is cool, too. Right out on the waterfront.

They also own a more upscale dining place further in town called Elle&Jacks that is worth checking out. 50ish bucks a plate but the food and atmosphere is top notch. Try the creme brulee... one of the better I've had.

 

[Randy Butternubs]

Yeah I've been meaning to go to a Friday or Saturday night game in Wheeling for a few years. Maybe this will finally be the season.

 

[GilbertSeinfeld]

I always enjoyed my times in Wheeling. The arena is what you'd expect for an ECHL team, but there's no bad view and the team always gives you your money's worth.

The locker rooms are (or were in the early 2000’s ) absolute trash though.

I didn't have to play there.

lol yeah they were notoriously bad for years but they got a reno in like 2016 I think.

 

[Mr. T]

I'm pretty sure they're looking for someone to put their dick in, too.

Oglebay resort has 63 holes.

 

[Hockeyville USA]

Uh... no. No it's not. It's almost all families and Boomers playing golf.

As for that particular stated objective... I mean... I would talk to some of the Nailers here and there back in the day "out on the town" or whatever passes for it around here while ordering drinks or playing pool. They didn't seem to be having too many problems in that regard lol

Can almost guaranteed Biz had a ton of fun out on the town in Wheeling back in the day lmao

Regardless, Murashov should be fine regardless of where he plays, he's got the talent to succeed quickly in North America

Right? I didn't live in the area at that point in time but it would have been fun to hang with Biz for a night... uh... probably haha

Any deep sand traps?

 

[Buddy Bizarre]

Oglebay resort has 63 holes.

Thanks, I'm generally only interested in just 3 holes

 

[HandshakeLine]

I'm seeing double. Six holes!

 

[Hockeyville USA]

Good first start for Murashov in WBS. Will be following his progress
