Around the NHL VIII - 2017-2018 Season

[Mortiest Morty]

Colin Wilson with a power play assist over in Sweden. Girard had 7 minutes in the first period and worked with the Avs top power play unit He was on the ice for the second Ottawa goal, but the fault was more on his partner Barrie than him. He wasn't very noticeable either good or bad.

 

[Soundgarden]

Girard with a nice play to assist on the tying goal. I'm happy for him, hope he has a good career in Colorado.

 

[Scoresberg]

Girard looks gooooood.

Girard looks gooooood.

Played 21:55- third most on the team....

 

[TitansVolsPreds615]

Really wish we had kept him out of the division but it is what it is.

 

[INDhockeyfan]

Wish we could have kept him but we had a bigger hole in 2C and you have to give to get. He just wouldn't have had a top 4 role on the preds and he'll have a much better opportunity in Colorado

 

[Mortiest Morty]

I don't think he looked particularly great, but same as when he was here, he didn't look out of place at all and that's quite an accomplishment for an extremely undersized 19 year old. He did make a nice play on the second goal along with a couple of other nice plays and of course made a few mistakes, but that's the case with any rookie, especially on defense. I think he'll top out as a nice 2nd pairing D-man that can definitely put up some points. Sad to see him go, but that's a trade you make 10 times out of 10 to me.

I've seen some speculation that Kamenev might be centering Wilson tomorrow.

 

[Mortiest Morty]

I saw some stuff about him wanting to go back to Russia, or threatening to go back. Wonder if he told the Preds he'd leave soon if he didn't get a chance in the NHL?

I saw yeseterday that he had visa issues and would be called up once the Sweden games are over.

It might have been for once Kamenev joins their team then.

Found it:

In retrospect Im surprised we didn't hear more of this when Kamanev not only didn't make the roster out of camp and then wasn't called up when Bonino went down

 

[Scoresberg]

Is it the Colorado Predators, they have Wilson, Kamenev, Girard and good old Gabby Bourque.

 

[PredsV82]

Jake Allen got lit up for 6 goals tonight... wouldn't mind at all if he got his head rattled again for a while like he did last year

 

[TootooTrain]

Willy grabs his first in Colorado.
Put home the garbage in front of the net.

 

[GoldOnGold]

Kamenev has a broken wrist and will be out for weeks. Poor guy.

Man I hate that for him- and was looking forward to seeing him play Saturday......

 

[Scoresberg]

Is anyone else enjoying Minn's struggles?

Blame is on you

 

[Osprey]

I saw some of the Avs game and their broadcast team was slobbering over Girard all game long. It was deserved, too, because he was even better than he was for the Preds, if you can believe it. The Avs actually had him quarterbacking their powerplay all night and, not just that; they appeared to be using a 1-4 formation, with the 19-year-old as their only defenseman on the ice, and he was handling it like he was Subban. He had only one point on the night, but another point was taken away by a coach's challenge and he missed out on another by being the 3rd assist on a fast goal.

[PredsV82]

That would actually suck somewhat for us as we have managed the cap very well but other teams would get a pass for bad decisions...

At the same time, we'd be able to sign some insane depth.

 

[GoldOnGold]

Also literally every WC team playing an EC team has won tonight thus far.

 

[GoldOnGold]

Seems like Weber has been having a good season so far in Montreal, but having Jordie Benn as your partner seems like a step down from Josi, Suter, and even Markov. Wasn't Benn a 6/7th d-man on Dallas?

 

[hockey diva]

Yes he was.
