Prospect Info: Pre WJC Discussion

[montreal]

Russia takes the lead late in the 3rd. Khovanov best player of the game for either team.

 

[montreal]

Russia wins for the 4th time in a row vs Team QMJHL.

 

[Mrb1p]

Nice to see Khovanov doing good again. Kids skilled as hell.

Amirov didn't see much ice

 

[Hfbsux]

The Russians from the Q were dominant, Khovanov, Sokolov and Zovgorodny. Khovanov shouldn't have fall that far.

Pelletier and Mercer for the Q team got my attention.

 

[montreal]

Groshev was good and the announcers took note, i've seen him a couple times as he's teammates with Khisamutdinov, interesting player for one of our mid round picks perhaps.

1-0 Q, Lavoie opens the scoring

 

[Hfbsux]

Holy shit what a play by Poirier!

 

[Minato is God]

Holy **** what a play by Poirier!

Such good vision on that pass, and Houde almost got a goal out of it

 

[Hfbsux]

Such good vision on that pass, and Houde almost got a goal out of it

Elite vision right there! Perfect pinch to cut the play too.

 

[Hfbsux]

Good play again by Poirier to cut the pass in the d-zone. Brought to puck out himself. Impressive so far.

 

[montreal]

nice save by the Russian goalie on Fortier

 

[montreal]

2-1 Q, Legare scores

 

[montreal]

2-2 nice burst of speed by Zavgorodniy on the goal, looks like the flames got a nice pick in the 7th round there.

 

[Hfbsux]

2-1 Q, Legare scores

Just saw the goal as I PVRd the game. That goal was all Poirier, love how he cut the play at the blueline, no look pass to legare with the finish.

 

[montreal]

3-2 Russia, Groshev gets the go ahead

 

[Minato is God]

Mercer is such a good player

 

[montreal]

been flipping back and forth with the Habs

 

[montreal]

3-3 as Mercer ties it up!

 

[Hfbsux]

Been praising Poirier a lot but he needs work on his play in his own zone. Great prospect with a really high upside.

 

[Hfbsux]

Mercer has really slick hands

 

[montreal]

Lavoie wins it in OT!

 

[montreal]

Good game overall, Houde didn't do much though.

They are off tomorrow and then it's Team OHL's turn. McShane will play in one game on Monday.

 

[montreal]

trying to find out if Dichow will be playing with Team Denmark at the 4 nations tournament starting tomorrow in Belarus. It's Denmark, Belarus, Latvia, and Austria. The game starts at 5 am so I won't be seeing it but was hoping to hear he at least made the team. Can't find rosters yet.

 

[Goldenhands]

Mercer has really slick hands

And is a natural goalscorer... Dont know where he is projected to go about, but it would be nice if he drops to us early 2nd...
