I'm surprised I'm hanging in there with Lias Andersson being hurt, Poehling proving why I didn't want the Habs to draft him in the first place and the Czechs leaving Chytil on an island.
Lias only got hurt at the end of last game. It's only now that you'll feel the pinch if he can't go. I'm surprised Poehling hasn't done more, to be honest. Saw him at the U18 and he did everything. As for Chytil, I would hardly say he's been on his own. Lots of good Czech scorers this year.
But hey, all of our teams have holes in them somewhere. My goalie is Jakob Skarek. He was fortunate to have even seen the net again after Korenar beat Russia. What did he do with that opportunity? Anybody who watched him sieve out in his last game knows the answer to that. I took Ryan Lindgren hoping he would get lots of ice time. He does, but he won't leave his own damn defensive zone. I've also got Quinn Hughes who won't go INTO his own damn defensive zone. The US coaches were so frustrated with his lack of defensive awareness that he's essentially been benched. And then there's my Finns. It's almost a running joke that every year I go heavy on drafting them is their down year. When I don't, they are the class of the tourney. It's unbelievable.
Oh, well. Some guys are doing the job for me at least.
