In the System Part V (Preds Prospect/Minor League Talk)

I still don't know what the first penalty that sent him in his rage was for. It just said unsportsmanlike. They scored and he gets a penalty. What did he do? Start running his mouth or something? I was at work so I obviously could not watch the game, only saw the clip where he hit the boards with his stick on twitter.

Yep, he ran his mouth. I understand why, Russia was on the PK he tried to clear the puck but was tripped (terrible non-call) and Finland scored. Then he just lost it.

Brainless move for a C to do that. Up until then, however, he was fantastic.

 

[PredsV82]

I can give him a pass given the situation. If he does this in some random AHL game, it's a problem. Last minute of a gold medal game and you feel like you were tripped and got no call and the other team scores.. yeah, I'd probably have got thrown out too

 

[Scoresberg]

Borrowed from another thread:

I don't know if this true but Bragin have said: "Kamenev just have wanted to ask about the penalty refs did not call against Finns and ref have given him a penalty only because he asked."

Rage was after that.

 

[TootooTrain]

It wasn't ergregious, but it wasn't as innocent as "asking".

"He asked the referee to be more attentive," said Kamenev through a translator.

"Open your eyes," said Kamenev loudly after his interpreter finished speaking.

Even then, that type of stuff gets said all the time in the NHL. You don't want to encourage it, but I'm surprised he got tossed if it was for anything other than the stick break.

 

[Scoresberg]

Kamenev apologized about this whole situation, and the official said he doesn't hold any grudge against Kamenev. The official said that those things just happened and Kamenev didn't intend to hurt him, it was just bad luck.

 

[triggrman]

it happens.


call up Kamenev now please.

Milwaukee has been shut out twice in the last 4 games. They need his offense. The Admirals fans don't want a repeat of last year! Salomaki was hurt and out for the season the same day that Leipsic got traded. It killed the team and they didn't make the playoffs for only the second time in their 15 years in the AHL.

Oh, I forgot that they stopped playing Hellberg and kept playing Mazanec the last 2 months of the season. They won about 3 games in that stretch.

No offense but if he makes the big club bigger and you guys miss the playoffs so be it. I know you don't want to hear that but your team is to develop for the big club and we're going to take assets as we see fit. Sorry bud.

7 games in 11 days might have something to do with it. The team looked exhausted last night.

Doesn't really make sense to call up Kamenev right now anyways. With Johansen, Ribeiro, Fisher and Gaustad and then Jarnkrok now on the wing, it doesn't really make sense.

Yep agreed, we are set in the middle. Calling up Fiala would make sense, though. He could be the option for our top-9, we wouldn't have to waste any assets.

Saros got beat out by Michael Leighton of Flyers Stanley Cup fame and Connor Hellebuyck, who you guys are all too familiar with.

how did Hellebuyck make it when he is with the big team now? That would be like the AHL naming Salomaki to the team.

They just name the all-stars. If Hellebuyck is still with the Jets at the time of the AHL all-star game, they'll likely pick a replacement and Saros would be the one they take I would think since they pick by divisions.

And grateful to as well.

You said it.. Was watching the game with my friends and it surely wasn't fun when they all figured out which NHL team has drafted Kamenev. Awesome tournament but that kind of stupid act just takes all the fun out of it.. As a captain and maybe the best player of the team you just can't do that, EVER.

can I introduce you to the guy wearing an A for us, Mr. James Neal. Sure, it's an A, not the C, but that's a slight difference relative to what you're talking about.

Not the same thing, cause everyone here watches the games when Finland plays and the officials hand is now so famous, it is still makes the headlines

Also to answer to your point, if I would decide Neal would never wear A for the Preds. It belongs to Josi as he is leading by example. But that is just my opinion anyways.

That still annoys me. I maintain that the only "A" that should be on Neal's jersey should be the one on his nameplate.

I know nothing about Freddy Gaudreau. Anyone care to enlighten me?

He has the same last name as Johnny Hockey

görtz is doing good? could he not be a future nhl player?

Could Alm be an NHL player?

Gortz is tearing it up in the AHL he may get a look this year if there are injuries. If he can continue to play like that, with size of his I think he can be max 3rd liner in the NHL. Time will tell.

Don't really know about Alm he's in the AHL and it's unlikely that he'll get a call-up or become an NHL'er.

??? Gortz is 6'2" and over 200 pounds and is tied for the team scoring lead with 9G 15A and +1 in 34 games. He plays RW, but is larger than all of the Preds centers.

Are you looking for a Legion of Doom sized player? Lindros was 6'4" and 240. John LeClair 6'3" and 225, Mikael Renberg 6"2" and 235 pounds.

Alm has been hurt and is hard to evaluate. He has good size, but may be a step slow.

Sorry, I didn't mean it like that. Let me rephrase that: He may not have the skill to be a top-6 guy but with his size he can be an effective 3rd liner.
