Really surprised Yzerman took that tall kid from 

Edmonton instead of Walstadt.  That tall kid stinks.  If our starter gets hurt, and tall kid has to play, we’re dead.  

is Cossa a stinker this year? bustaroo :lol:

I don’t think Russia has realized just how far its fallen in hockey. They shot themselves in the foot this year by making the team Russian playing hockey players only. The obsession for purity is only hurting them. Their KHL and talent problems are also due to their bravado thinking they actually have any leverage in the sport anymore. This faux macho shtick they’re doing is going to get them nowhere fast. The NHL can live without Russian players just fine, but they think they’re owed more by the league. It’s totally bassackwards for achieving their goal of having more influence. 

maybe they trying to build something for next year when they host?

Don’t the Russians have Askarov?

 

I thought he was one of the best goalie prospects in the world.

Neither he or Wallstedt are having good starts to the tourney. They seem to be playing pretty well in the SHL/KHL respectively though, given they're under 20.

 

They'll probably be goalies at the NHL level but it takes time with goalies. We don't see many that make the jump early and have significant success nowadays.

It's a crapshoot at their age.  Hart looked awesome too.
