5 games in 6 days for the moose: This will be a stretch that Shirokov can hopefully excel in and not get too exhausted, so that perhaps he can come up to the pros during the Moose's 5 day break.

BTW, I've become such a follower of the moose all of a sudden. I used to give two S%@&S, but now I love them, thanks to Shirokov

I was like that when Bourdon was on the moose

Now Shirokov's there and I'm all over them again

[moosekid321]

Sergei Shirokov Was Terrible in last Night Game He is a One man Team...He has great hands but has No visual on passing the Puck...The Kid needs to be more of a Team Player and Not such a Puck Hogggg..

Its funny because AV had a long interview where he talked about everything from Lui to Kes to the weather. But yet he didnt mention Shirokov at all. In fact, he talked about Desbiens not being an option because he was injured for the moose.

bottom 6 need, not top 6. Plus Shiro needs some time in a single league to get acclimated. Bouncing back and forth does not help him at all.

-2, 2 shots, played better than the stats would say but was relatively off in what I saw today between periods.

I have a feeling that he will be down in the AHL for a while. He has had 2 call ups, and to put it nicely did nothing.

Sadly, you're right.

I think that he will be scary next year, but this year seems to be a bit of a slow go.

The guy definitely has the talent and the vision.

[BionicBunny]

Sergei Shirokov is currently with the moose right?

yes, and he's doing well, but has no one to play with anymore now that all of his worthwhile teammates are on the Canucks. once our players come back from injury his stats will go through the roof.

My guess is that the only way Shirokov comes back is if someone else is hurt during the olympics. Yes, that sounds pessimistic, but that is about our only chance. With Hansen back now, Wellwood healthy-ish and Bieksa proving he can rock it on wing, Shirokov just earned rookie of the year possibilities in the AHL.

[Pinhead]

Problem is, he makes 105k per year in the AHL and unless there is a GUARANTEE he will make the canucks next year, he can go back to the KHL.

Canucks own his rights next year so he cant sign with another NHL team on a one way either.

A hockey player only has so much time in the game , and I thought for sure the Canucks would give him a harder look than this.

That would be a healthy addition to his resume.

I think that it is up to him, if he plays well then he will make the team.

It might be due to injury, or it might be next year, but if he succeeds, then he will get a promotion.

[Grind-Like-Lightning]

He had that good game (2 ago?) but with last nights shutout, Shirokov needs to be excellent tonight to prove that at least one player on MTB can remember how to score goals. They are seriously hurting, offensively and defensively with Schneider called up, and I really hate to see the effect it has on Shirokov's morale, not to mention that of Keane.

[moosekid321]

Here is a Article on The russian super Star...

http://www.moosehock...senews/407/1270

im sure he well return to the KHL if he isnt called back up to the NHL by the end of the Season... The way he is Playing i dont see it Happening...

[playboi19]

He'll get a couple more shots. The last time he got called up he looked improved.

[Stefan]

I dunno what you guys are talking about, this guy's a lock.
He'll probably make the Allstar team, he'll have another solid performance like he did in preseason, we'll ink him to a bagillion dollar contract.
L O C K LOCK!

Those number's would also look better if he had Grabner to play with, they made a good duo in there short time together with the Moose.
