Player Discussion Alexander Romanov

[Andrei79]

Just like Nick, I really have to temper my expectations.Because it's just been 4 games.

But man, it's hard to when you watch him play.

I’m waiting for someone to post his sequence in OT before going to bed. I don’t think I’ve ever been this excited for a player since young PK came into the league. We have 3 exciting young players to watch this year, we’re spoiled.

 

[Adriatic]

Man he's good. I hate getting ahead of myself but he's impressive. Plays like a veteran. Him and Petry should be the only d's to get on in overtime.

Suzuki, Romanov, and ???

Evans obviously

I personally thought he was going to be a solid 3rd pairing D. I honestly would have been happy with that. Props to the scouts, they really did their homework.

 

[Belial]

More like Ro-MAH-nov

They made an effort to do it right but they're still wrong.

The O in Ro is more like an A in Russian so it sounds more like RamAnofff , even the second O is something between an O and an A, RamAnafff .

In Russian unstressed O usually sounds like something between O and A. But that second syllable is under stress, so A in it sounds very distinctly and a little bit prolonged. It's like a longer O in words stop, cop, mob etc in American English.

Now, that's just nitpicking. It's not going to get much better and is still more accurate than how most Russian names are pronounced by TV people.

Imagine being Hara and having it pronounced Chara the whole career.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

The confidence level is what has been impressing me the most with this kid. I already knew he played a very mature game with CSKA but I didn't expect him to be this comfortable right away in the limelight. He flat out WANTS to be out there as much as possible in every situation and it's a rare quality in a rookie. Subban had that and Romanov does too, he seems completely fearless out there.

 

[Deebs]

Had a rough game last night being caught pinching and out of position many times but that's going to happen to a young guy.

Overall, a very good start to the season for Stan

Gotta agree with you, but we have to expect it. Also, the positives outshines by far every mistakes he makes. I also like that CJ seems to be ok putting him back on after a mistake, and gives him a little more every game.

Him, Suzuki and KK are SOOOOOOOOO fun to watch. Hell, the entire roster is exciting this year, i've never felt that way about this team, like, ever.

 

[Man Purse]

he doesn't need smelling salts to get ready !!

Absolutely. Kid has all the potential in the world and like you say, Claude obviously trusts him as well because he's out there all the time in all situation.

 

[Bobby Orr's Knees]

Shocked by how good he is. The narrative was top-4 D at best, with 2nd pair ceiling. Reality: very high IQ, nerves of steel and built like a tank. He does remind me of both PK Subban and Markov. Definitely top pairing potential. But from the franchise building perspective, it's foolish to think that Romanov offsets the loss of Sergachev. That was the dumbest trade imaginable. Sergachev is a beast. Watched him against the Bruins a few times - the kid is nasty, physical, and explosive. He is a huge energy/character guy. Still learning the defensive part of the game, but developing beautifully in Tampa. You'd do well to have both on the team (rather than having the useless soft JD...)

 

[Nico Cauzuki]

wanna get the new retro jersey but not sure if i should take Suzuki or Romanov i love them both

would Romazuki be weird to have jks

Euro draft combine they started that year was a huge factor... it's where they noticed him

His WJC at age 18 and 19 where he passed the eye test and the production test in both years was no fluke. Several "expert" posters in our herd were way to pessimistic and tried to use the Poehling "small tournament" narrative on Romanov. Comical

I've said it a few times now cause those belittle posters need to hear it! They would not think twice if Romanov disappointed

Not weird at all. These mixed name jerseys age well and are hugely popular. I still have to keep people off my Richoy and Chelison jerseys.

ohh okay nice i might do it then

Don't do the mixed name thing, it's corny as hell. Pick a guy and roll with it or heck, buy a couple Chinese knockoffs and rotate them.

We will have to forget it soon. Is it a mistake today? Yeah. But back in the days. 80% of people here and around me were happy to see jo drouin coming here. He been a really good player beside kucherov past playoffs. We missed offensive skill against rangers. We wanted to win now. Probably Bergevin learned about it. But this trade is no where close to mcdonagh/gomez. Sergachev is not hedman and will never be. Even with sergachev the last few years. We would sucks. So yeah. He been developping well on a good team but he would not to be a game changer for us even if we had him

Yes, yes. Do it. It's a great way to save money and even make sure your investment stands the test of time. If you can get it signed by Romanov and Suzuki, like half and half so the signature ends up like Romazuki, that'll really get the value going.
