Good to hear, hope Murray has a long and successful career with the Jackets!
I didn't think Hudon would make the WJC's but if he has a strong (a little over PPG) first half with Chicoutimi it may get him a spot on the team. His stock is rising big time with his play in the tournament.
What a pick by the habs on that one, Hudon has been great. Never heard of the kid before but he's seems to cementing himself with his play for sure.
Where were you during the game saying this Leftwing?
It's funny the people who critisize him come out well after everyone has left so there's few to rebut it.
He still showed he was a defensively liability my ass. He did nothing wrong defensively, made no mistakes, had a good game in his own zone.
There is no way Rielly was better that game, no chance. You critisize Murphy for selfish plays yet Rielly made similar plays all game as well, except fewer of them worked out. Murphy got into the zone in the final minutes but the Russians were too good defensively. Why in the world would dump and chase work better?
Oh, give me strength. Literally just turned the game on (repeat). 7:23 left in the 3rd. Murphy tries to weave through the D instead of putting it in deep and following up. Or ringing it around the boards to his streaking forward corps. Turns it over to the Russian D who goes the other way.You critisize Murphy for selfish plays yet Rielly made similar plays all game as well, except fewer of them worked out.

And when exactly did i say otherwise?Wilson was drafted by the Washington Capitals.
Yup I believe he'll be a great steal. 122nd would never be where I thought he would go after his 16yo season. Kid was a PPG player at 16, and then he kept the same pace at 17 causing his stock to fall as he didn't progress much. 0.95 ---> 1.05 PPG roughly. I don't think his 17yo season will be indicative of his overall future tho, I expect him to break out with the Sags again this season.
Anyone know how bad Rienhart is hurt?
Looks like Zlobin has 2 goals in the 3 games
How has he looked?
Thx

Solid. He didn't stand out, but he constantly made smart decision and was good in his end.
I thought Murphy and Rielly were unreal on the back-end tonight. I'd love to see them both paired up on the PP (were for a little while), having two guys that can just gain the line without trouble and dominant on the offensive blueline... that's scary for the opposition.
And man, Ryan Murray ain't coming back for the WJC, I can't see how he won't make Columbus, the guy doesn't have a single panic-bone in his body, solid D-men, Columbus are lucky to have him. I definitely see the Scott Neidermeyer comparison, although not a huge amount of flash, but he's got quite the big head between his shoulders. Haven't seen him make a single mistake, despite the huge ice-times in both games.
I didnt see the game but Dumba sucked?
His defensive game and questionable hockeysense is going to get exposed from here on out (WJC and NHL).
Blame six goals on the defense, and don't mention the goaltending...The Defense as a group has been terrible. I don't know if that is just the system they are trying to play or if it is the players themselves. The first goal of defense should be to prevent goals. From what I have seen over the past 2 games is too many fancy Dan's on the ice and not enough smash mouth. Dumba looked he didn't even want to hit anyone out there and the guy usually smashes 4 or 5 guys a game in the WHL.
I don't care how good you look when you skate or how fancy you can pass the puck in the offensive zone when you give up 6 goals a game NO ONE has had a "good" game on the defense.

Is Ceci always that brutal? Like, how did this guy get drafted in the first round, he can barely skate. Same with Pelech.
