2018 CIBC Canada/Russia Series (Nov. 5th to Nov. 15th)

Yeah, there's been just a bunch of positive about Romanov. Good on Timmins for getting him when he wasnt a popular choice whatsoever.

still really early to say if Timmins did a good job on him or not yet.

Can't argue there. But, it's looking better than if he was in the MHL, with stagnating numbers.

 

[Nick Slafkofield]

Russians are getting shut down big time

 

[DramaticGloveSave]

I’ve been switching with the football, but looked like Brook banged himself up a bit with a huge wipeout and board crash on his first shift.

 

[Hfbsux]

Foote is very good

 

[DramaticGloveSave]

Brooks talent is pretty eye popping. Still needs to iron some things out, but he’s definitely got an upside no other young D in the org has.

 

[Andrei79]

Can't believe the Caps are getting another top pairing D late first/2nd round.

Thats just crazy... and it was so easy to see too.. This guy has everything you want in a defenseman, how he fell to 31 is probably the biggest mystery of the universe.

 

[Andrei79]

Romanov moved up to Alexeyevs pairing. I think there's a good chance we see that at the WJC, would definitely be awesome.

I guess the injuries and bad luck ? I agree man, the guy has the tools and the toolbox. Every game I saw from him he was excellent. I wish we'd have done something to snag him.

 

[The Great Weal]

Not too sure about Byram in the top 10. I am so upset we missed out on Alexeyev.

Ya we missed the LD run and Alex2 looks like a man among boys. Hopefully Romanov can be a player.

 

[The Great Weal]

Wow what a shift by Dach

 

[Hfbsux]

Walford looks efficient out there. Plays a really safe game.

 

[DramaticGloveSave]

Damn that looked scary for a second for Glass.

 

[GHJimmy]

In the first and second Romanov played really bad, he turned the puck over and Canada nearly scored on the breakaway, he's slow as hell too

Anybody found the rosters ?

Huh? He’s slow as hell? Clearly you were looking at the wrong guy.

Hes anything but slow.

AlexAlex is a flat out better player than Byram at everything he does.

 

[Habs Halifax]

still really early to say if Timmins did a good job on him or not yet.

I think the Habs deserve a bit of credit for taking a kid in the 2nd round who made the KHL as a 18 year old. I think he is a safer bet to make the NHL in the future than not at this stage. But yes, it's early.

Does Romanov make the Russian World Juniors? Hope so. Will be nice to see what he can do against players his own age.

I just caught the last 15 minutes of the third... Romanov had maybe 3 shifts at most... where they playing 7 d-men?

Edit: They played 7 D, I don't think they dressed Alexander Lyakhov

Edit 2: Now that I look at his player profile on the SSS site, it says he played a game. I guess they played 8D yesterday then.

#3 on Russia clearly I saw Romanov being caught at certain points, he is slow, when WHL back check he would be caught instantly, I have the games pre recorded and there's a few in there where he doesn't even go that fast

His skating is a force. He made a few mistake and a really bad one when he tried to carry the puck by himself out of his zone in the 1st. On that one play, he looked slow but I think it's more of a bad IQ play than the lack of speed itself. He was going nowhere and thought he would go thru everybody and if I'm not mistaken, he was at the end of his shift and the guy following him had the speed momentum. Overall, I didn't like his game, the skill is there but I thought he was really raw. It's just one game tho, can't wait to see how he performs tonight.

 

[Hfbsux]

Of all 3 habs prospect, I liked Walford's game the most. I expect this to change tonight.
