You can be patronizing all you want, but being that he is not eligible for the AHL then the OHL is where he will be.

The way I see it: Othmann has dominated the OHL, but not outgrown it just yet.

Can Othmann play in Europe? Is that an appealing option?

Only if Flint releases him from his OHL contract.
Contractually, Othmann can only terminate his contract if Flint violates terms of the agreement (payments etc)

Michigan goals should not be allowed in hockey. A puck should not be allowed to be carried on top of the stick blade.
Nasty boys.
We’re seeing the type of player Drury wants. As long as they can put puck in net I’m ok with it.

Just my opinion, but to me it's the equivalent of just picking it up and carrying it in your glove.
i dont think its anywhere remotely similar. any stick check or body check is knocking the puck off someones stick.

I spoke to Chmelař and he reached out to Othmann after the hit yesterday that resulted in a game misconduct. "I texted him and he said there are no hard feelings and that at the next Rangers camp I will buy him dinner and we will be fine"
Always good to hear there is no animosity between players after a hit like that.

Zegras singlehandedly turned it into a standard play. It's still a neat thing but has lost a lot of luster; you used to see it once every few years, now it's like a weekly occurrence.

I see you are a man of culture.
Not necessarily. If these guys use half as much stick wax as my teammates in college did, the puck will stick through some pretty crazy shit.

Almost looked like he did it instinctively, realized what he was doing and started to pull it back in but was too late

Yeah, and his reaction in the penalty box looks like a guy who regrets what happened, not malicious.
It's an unfortunate sequence of events that led to this, but under IIHF regulation it's a game misconduct. I'm sure there will be some communication between Sýkora and Kemell after this and they will be fine.

WAAAAAAA!!!
This feels like when people used to say the one-timer had no place in hockey.

There’s certainly a way to get Othmann to stay with the Rangers (whether it’s for 9 games or more) until he needs to join Team Canada for WJC in December and then return to Flint for the remainder of the season and playoffs. For someone in his situation I think it’s the best scenario.

The Draisaitl-approach. I could see it. The 40-game threshold for accrued pro seasons is what Drury will look at in that case.

So wait Slovkia and Czechia are both eliminated? I really don’t understand how teams get eliminated. Always been confused with Olympic Hockey rules.
