GDT: WJC (Rutger, Salomonsson, Wagner in action today)

[Gil Fisher]

Was looking forward to watching Salomonsson play... I guess we got to see him play for 15 seconds. I wonder if there will be supplementary discipline as well?

How did he look in those first 14 seconds?

Took a penalty went to the box got thrown out...............yup ready for the NHL

 

[JetsFan815]

If there is any positive to take out of this in the NHL that Salomonsson play is a 2 minute penalty at best and even that is only if your team is ahead.

 

[JetsFan815]

Word during the draft was that Sandin-Pellika was gonna be our guy at the draft if Wings hadn't drafted him just one spot ahead.

 

[WolfHouse]

And Mathis Rousseau gets back to his hotel room to find half the NHL in his DMs...

 

[snowkiddin]

Lane Hutson might be the worst defensemen defensively I’ve ever seen

 

[snowkiddin]

He probably gets suspended for that as well.

Definitely in the IIHF. Probably not in the NHL though.

Yeah, Mike Johnson described it pretty well as it was being reviewed. The IIHF punishes the act and not the result; the NHL on the other hand punishes based on the result and not the act itself.

Don't tell Habs fans, they think he's the greatest thing since sliced bread.

There's only two people who know what really happened.

I think the Latvian was going down anyways and that the light push of the Swede's stick to the lower back which said stick rode up higher but did not touch the upper back completed the fall.
In other words it wasn't even an NHL penalty.

That was totally an nhl penalty if the refs needed to cover the spread

I wasn’t opposed to the Jets taking a flyer on him, and he still might be worth it. The offence is there, though I’m not sure if it’ll translate to the NHL or not, but he is either completely clueless in his own end, or doesn’t care to try. Guy makes Sami Niku look like prime Chris Pronger in the D-zone.

Is Brad Lambert too old for the World Juniors? Up until 5 days ago he was 19 years old.

He is too old. You have to turn 20 in the year the tournament ends to be eligible. Or be younger of course.

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

Nope. Punishing by result would imply way more consistency than DOPS has. Look at the KFC incident.

 

[B33R LEAGUE]

Dang. Too bad. Sounds like he was only born a couple weeks early from being able to participate. I would have liked to have finally seen him on the top line in Finland after years of him being somewhat snake bitten by the team’s management/coaching staff.

It sucks, cuz I’m sure there are dozens of players in the tournament that are only a couple weeks younger than Lambert, but I guess the line has to be drawn somewhere.

IMO There’s always been a strong argument for players born later in the year to defer their draft eligible status to the following year given the advantages an 18 year old (born in January) has over a 17 year old born in the same year, but in December.

Thanks for answering!

First Spengler Cup Game was a 4:0 win for Canada vs Frölunda. Milic didn't start as Aaron Dell played. I therefore expect Milic to play vs Davos tomorrow.

Speaking of swedish players that get a 5 minutes major for boarding: Carl Klingberg got one very early to make sure Canada got a cruising start.

There's a couple flashes from the past

Salomonsson 1 game suspension

Of course the hope is he is turns out to be the next Quinn Hughes.

Glad we still get to see him match up against Finland and Canada.

 

[ps241]

Honestly I find games vs teams like Latvia unwatchable even when I am bored.

 

[Thechozen1]

I think he's more like David Backes, probably a little less physical but that could come.

I see a lot of Shane Doan in his game.

 

[Thechozen1]

Don't tell Habs fans, they think he's the greatest thing since sliced bread.

They already expect him to become Makar 2.0

 

[None]

Yeah, I like that comparison too. I don't see any of the lowkey after the whistle stuff in McGroarty's game like Doan's though.
