Damn I forgot it was on.

Meant to DVR it.

Belarus has less patience than Chiarelli did apparently?

Dave Lewis removed as the Belarus HC three games into the World Championship.

Not sure why it irritates me so much when our players go play over there, especially Krejci. Being a crotchety old man and sore loser is not a good combo.

I always considered it the loser Olympics

 

[GloryDaze4877]

On the plus side, I hope that Pasta and DK show some chemistry, because I want them together next year.

On the down side, Krejci playing in the WC’s means that he doesn’t have the nagging injury that I hoped would explain his inconsistent play.

Krejci, Pasta and McAvoy... The few Bruins that surprisingly aren't injured are going to this tournament... To inevitably come out of it banged up.

I really, truly, can't believe he has ANY hockey related job. The only reference people need to see is the archive of this board.

Better than no hockey. Always good to see one's national team compete and many athletes happily like to play for their nation. Nothing wrong with that.

I never met the guy, but according to some, Lewis was actually a very good assistant coach with Detroit? There are guys that are great assistants and just aren’t cut out for the HC job.

Krejci and Pasta taking on the Russians is pretty entertaining. 3-3 in the 3rd

Krejci with a goal and 2 helpers. Did he have 3 shots in the Tampa series ? shocked to find out he had no injury holding him back.

He was just a no show I guess.

At least he had more points than Nash Nash and Backes combined.

Indeed, that was what got him the Bruins job

Some of the best Russians are still in the playoffs, so it shouldn’t be surprising that he can score against lesser competiton.

He needs to play to his potential when he’s against NHL players. If he does that, I will have no complaints.

4 points for Krejci vs the Russians. Game winner from Pasta

some of the best Canadians are still playing in the playoffs too, Canada like Russia is still a good team to beat. Russia won their 3 games 7-0, 7-0, 6-0

I guess that's something. Hopefully he continues to be a stud in the WC's to a point that he may drum up some interest from a city he would waive his ntc to. Doubtful (that any team would take that contract).

Plenty of teams would. He'd get his contract as a UFA right now. 3 years in his early to mid 30s for a proven center is not something teams would run from. Its not a Parise like deal that goes on until hes 40 something.

Moving him is not a discussion until next summer. We need him for next year there is no reason to punt with so many good players on the team and open a gaping hole. Next offseason is different and we'll have an idea about how the guys in our system who play center can produce in a large role. Backes is a different story if you can move him now you have to do it.

I'm never sad to see Russia lose.

Pretty good. Completely forgot we have some of our players in action out there.

apparently he flew all night, took 3 connecting flights to get to there, got off the plane and put 4 points up against the Russians.

It’s unfortunate he wasn’t that effective against Tampa.
