World Championships - Who's Going? (Besides Hank)

[cwede]

2013

maybe but are you certain?

Ceresnak played Canadian Junior the 2 years following being drafted,
but he was drated "from Europe"

i dont know the rules of the CBA in place at that time

but i wonder about similarities to Mikhail Pashnin
he was listed at NYR site "In The System" for many years after he joined the KHL although he never came over again after 1 or 2 July prospect camps early on

not offered contracts at end of May 2013, were eligible to go back into the draft

thanks, that article also mentions same day NYR ELC'd Noreau

in retrospect, Ceresnak couldn't have been worse than Noreau ...
Noreau's AHL career was only 9 games in 4 seasons (226 in ECHL including this year), and finished '17 in LNAH,

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ligue_Nord-Américaine_de_Hockey
"The Ligue Nord-Américaine de Hockey (North American Hockey League) (LNAH) is a low-level professional league based in the Canadian province of Quebec."

apparently he will go to school as well

"... 23-year-old said he was very pleased to be able to continue his career in a good caliber of play while being able to start focusing on his studies"

Why would Team USA WANT Hayes? Did their coaches not see the play-offs? Oh well, don't care about this tournament, so let him screw up the US's chances, too.

Hayes is the kind of player that benefits from Big European Ice. Free skating

Hayes is the kind of player that doesn't benefit in any way when he's on any kind of ice

Nice, have a good time!

Hayes on 3LW with Bjugstad and Gaudreau. Skjei on 3RD with McAvoy.

Not sure where Lindberg will be in today's game. Assume Hank is starting.

Back from Cologne. What a great day it was. It's always a blast to be in the middle of 10k drunk Russians. They were so loud the entire evening. Good day for the German team as they positioned themselves for the QF with a very deciding game vs Latvia.

Little fun fact for HFNYR: During the USA-Latvia game we were sitting in the lower bowl and next to us sat two men. I correctly identified them as scouts, as they had papers with the rosters and notes. During the intermission I walked up to them and asked them if they are scouts. "yes" "what team are you scouting for?" He taps my jersey (wearing Rangers blue of course) "for that team." I don't know, maybe he says that to everybody. But apparently I met two Rangers scouts. Pretty sure they were looking at the USA team. I thanked them for their hard worked and wished them good luck in finding us the next right guys.

Slick! Would seem obvious that NHL teams have scouts at the WC.

 

[Irishguy42]

Blashill just said Skjei will be relied upon to kill penalties. Nice.

I'd love some pictures from our scouting staff, so I can identify the dudes for real ^^

 

[Irishguy42]

Skjei with his first point of the tourney

Hayes with some good chances so far.

Is Hayes looking better than he looked for us during the playoffs??

Where did they seem to be from? I believe the Rangers European scouts are 1 Swede, 1 Finn, 1 Russian, and 2 Slovaks, along with a Russian who's the director of European Scouting.

Director of European Scouting:

Nikolai Bobrov-Russia

Scouts:

Mikko Eloranta-Finland

Jan Gajdosik-Slovakia

Oto Hascak-Slovakia

Anders Kallur-Sweden

Vladimir Lutchenko-Russia

Really sick play by Bjugstad to set up the Hayes-Gaudreau connection.

Irishguy, where are you watching the game? What channel?

NHL Network has the game. For TSN, I think it's 3 and 4?

 

[Captain Lindy]

NHL Network has the game.

Thanks. I don't get those.

Scouting Dvorak?

 

[Chaels Arms]

I don't like Kevin Hayes.

 

[NYRFANMANI]

Oto Hascak-Slovakia

This was one of them!

 

[Ori]

Hayes with couple of assist and with the best player award - when is Henrik playing?

 

[Lindberg Cheese]

noticed that
Slovak team includes Peter Ceresnak[2011,NYR,#172 overall] and David Skokan[2007,NYR, #193 overall]
Czech team includes Kundratek[2008,NYR, #90 overall]

More evidence that Czech and Slovak hockey is on a major downturn
