Prospect Info: Alexander Romanov (2018, 38th OA) - KHL, CSKA Moscow: Part III

[Kobe Armstrong]

He looks like he'd be an improvement on Schlemko already

I’d be an improvement over Schlemko right now and my skating looks like a deer on a frozen pond.

 

[Junohockeyfan]

I don't understand why he doesn't have more points in the KHL. He is a very good puck mover.

more restrictive in the KHL than at a junior world cup + don't want to make any mistakes at his young age. He plays a way more defensive game in the KHL

I'd like to see him play on Laval next year, with freedom to jump into the play as he has been doing at the WJHC.

also plays around or less than 10 minutes in the KHL, no, all in a D-furst role?

I believe he is signed for another year in the KHL. Won't be in Laval next year.

Romanov is a great example of how points aren't necessarily indicative of development or progression.

This can only help him

Anyone have a clip of his coach yelling at him?

Guy on Tsn desk : "uhh yeah keep an eye on number 26 on russia"

I mean its safe to say the kids progression has been lightspeed since getting drafted.. makes KHL, plays as regularly as a rookie would, a teenager no less, we all hope he makes the WJC team, does, player of the game honor already, seems to be dropping jaws with each passing game

Proud of this kid, proud of the team for "reaching" on him too

He is also a college student.

Buddy, long time lurker, first time poster. No offense but generally I’ve noticed your assessments really off, in most aspects. Of course you can continue to do you, but I guess I’m kind of wondering if you’re a troll/comedian or if I’m right in not taking your take on things hockey related seriously.

Welcome aboard!

we hope. I do like his gusto.

He plays really well without the puck.

Anyone have a clip of his coach yelling at him?

I think it was after an icing call in the first period. Bragin might have been yelling at Romanov's partner moreso. Romanov had a great breakout pass after the icing so I didn't think much of it

 

[bleuetbio]

I wouldnt be surprised that Bragin has yelled at him. Romanov mades two uglys plays yesterday in the 1st half of the game.

- Misjudging a lob in his direction who leads to a 2 on 1
- Making a stupid pass from the offensive blue line to the other dman threw the center. That dman wasnt everything except an option. That pass was easily cut and leads to another 2 on 1.

Romanov was able to come back in both of theses plays but sincerly, he cannot do that against Team Canada tonight.

That said, many Russian dmen make too many mistakes in many areas of the game. I dont know who is the defensive coach, but that guy dont work well.

Moreso? There's an Italian on Team Russia?

They are everywhere! I knew about 3 Italians till I married one. Now? f***ing everywhere! Especially in the Penguins’ fan base.

Dude I know the feeling. I Married into the mafia I think. Had 30 Italians at my house Christmas Eve, and just 4 french Canadians. The only thing they agreed on was their hatred for Trudeau, and there wasn't enough lasagna.

That’s not mafia. That’s common sense!

 

[Gally11]

Remember when 80% of people on here lost their f***ing minds at Timmins reaching for him

because he wasnt even on the so-called experts rankings

 

[Stive Morgan]

I am very excited for this player.

The mafia knows they can't take their cut when everyone is already taxed into the dirt.

Probably because Timmins has failed on this type of gamble like every time. I am loving that he is playing great though.

Not sure if people lost their minds. I think it was more like a collective “who?!?”
