DeNiro Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 A reality based on your own biased opinion. Ok there chief Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vv2 Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 So my "opinion" about smaller players being less likely to make the NHL is biased? Ok there chief. Go get a list of how many players there are under 5'10" in the NHL, and how many smaller prospects there are putting up great numbers in the minors. That should give you an idea of the likelihood of him making it. Sorry if the truth hurts. Maybe you shouldn't brag about flames prospects on a Canucks board.

Baercheese Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Gaudreau just scored 7 goals in 3 games. Good night folks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 MSL Brian Gionta Nathan Gerbe Mike Cammalleri Danny Briere Derek Roy Tyler Ennis Brad Marchand Steve Sullivan David Desharnais just to name a few AHL Cam Atkinson, too lazy to look the others up. Oh and take off your Schroeder colored glasses, by your standards he's not making the NHL either champ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spliced Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 This may have been the worst team Canada in around 10 years or more. In 10 they were one overtime goal away. In 11 they basically had it but they fell asleep and let Russia come back. Last year Murray, a pretty decent player, just happens to have maybe one of the worst games of his life. Canada may have lost this game anyway but at least when they got it going in that game they made things happen. This year if anything Canada got the breaks and they still were significantly outplayed. It's amazing how these guys light it up with their CHL teams but struggle so mightily to score against any of the good teams in this tourney.

unknown33429 Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Okay you've named 10 players out of 700 in the NHL. That's about 1.5% of the league. And you've only named 3 that have been drafted in the last 10 years. It goes to show what sort of impact smaller players are making in the league today. I already said that the odds are stacked against him. He's going to have to be way better than any 6'0"+ players to make it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Let's be honest, his hattrick against the Czechs was pretty lucky, the puck came to him with an empty net everytime. And Schroeder is the all time leading scoring in US WJ history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHL rocks Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Game time boys and girls. I think this will be a good game, unlike the last one where only 1 team showed up to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashian Kassian Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Don't try and bring this guy down. He's clearly hyped up on this guy. Yet he thinks I'm the one with the rose colored glasses on. Anton Rodin also had as many points as Neidereiter in the world juniors. Who do you thinks gonna be the better player? That's why the world juniors have to be taken with a grain of salt. It's easy to hype up prospects here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Yeah I agree completely. And on a side note Rodin is actually a better prospect than people give him credit for IMO but not nearly as good as Nino (Obviously) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashian Kassian Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Still waiting for Rodin to breakout. He seems to be in a rut right now. As for this game, it will be fun to see two highly skilled teams go at it. My money's on Russia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeNiro Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Wow, my money's not on Russia actually. Go Sweden! I haven't watched them at all. I figured with their injuries they would be a weaker team. Guess not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHL rocks Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Sweden should share. So far Russia hasn't been allowed to touch the puck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashian Kassian Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 I wasn't expecting Sweden to be leading like this at this point but good for them, they have been better than Russia thus-far I like Linus Arnesson, should be a consideration for the draft, maybe our 2nd or 3rd pick.
