OT: All Purpose WJC Thread Pt. II

[BarbaraAlphanse]

Duke's goal was pure filth. What a release. What location. Incredible.

Buch is going to be a high intensity player. Whereas Duke is a bit of a floater, Buch's game is much more physical.

Defense will come. These two will be special. Can't wait for Allaire to get his hands on Shestyorkin. Man.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

This is the same stupid **** as what they did for the USA not giving Eichel one of the three best players. Buchnevich was one of the best players for any team in the tournament. He was probably Russia's best player all tournament also.

 

[Infinitum Vitae*]

Absolutely ****ing laughable that Buchnevich isn't named Russia's best forward.

Complete BS but whatever.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

I thought Duclair was absolutely amazing, maybe the best player in the game.

 

[Ratelleitlikeitis]

Can we get a line on #6 gavrikov.... Buddy's with Buch?

 

[Raspewtin]

Man, Buchnevich looks crushed.

 

[BarbaraAlphanse]

Man, Buchnevich looks crushed.

Talk about winning culture in all 3 of these prospects. All 3 wanted it bad. Can't say that about every player to lace them up.

 

[Infinitum Vitae*]

Man buch looks like McD when the rangers lost in the SCF.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

With Russia winning a medal 5 straight years it seems like there would be more great Russian payers in the NHL.

 

[Thirty One]

Man, Buchnevich looks crushed.

I don't know. I just think he wanted to take a nap on the back of the net.

 

[BarbaraAlphanse]

Man buch looks like McD when the rangers lost in the SCF.

He was a man against boys. He probably took more responsibility for not being able to be just that much better to help Russia prevail. Love this mentality.

 

[Infinitum Vitae*]

Duke and buch are going to be scary good for the Rangers next year.

 

[Bullseyes]

Buch and Duclair had great games. I'm so glad they are Rangers prospects.

 

[Mikos87]

Serious question, are the Rangers allowed to purchase Buch's contract for this season? Please don't tell me Stempniak is that deserving of a spot in the lineup.

He can, it wouldn't have to be a buyout of the KHL contract to make it happen, but I'm sure Serverstral will want something if that were to happen.

Rangers signed Zucc over from the KHL once his season ended, and because the Rangers owned his rights, Zucc wasn't subject to waivers.

The same should apply to Buch if he were to come over this year.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

We were well represented in this year's WJC. Probably as well as we have since 2010.

 

[McDonagh]

Duclair had a really good game.

 

[Miamipuck]

Serious question, are the Rangers allowed to purchase Buch's contract for this season? Please don't tell me Stempniak is that deserving of a spot in the lineup.

So you're saying the Rangers should buy out his contract from the KHL and bring him over to a new country and culture. Then have him play in North American rinks against the best competition in the world for the first time, mid season and give him that shot over a decent veteran player and you're serious about it? Seriously?

 

[PlamsUnlimited]

Duke was a boss. Saw that **** live.

 

[jgimb]

god am I ever proud of duke

 

[PlamsUnlimited]

I was alittle disappointed in Sweden this year. They should've at least got the bronze... they couldn't get anything going at all

I don't think Stempniak's that good, so I do think we need an upgrade on the wing.

Buchnevich is 3rd on his KHL team in PPG and he's barely 3rd. I think he is .656, the second place guy is .658 and the guy leading the team in PPG is .690. I'm not watching the games, but he seems to be doing very well.

The new country and culture are things he's going to have to overcome eventually if he's going to play for the NYR.

They were gassed.

There are a ton of games during a short period. On avg years, teams like Russia and Sweden don't have that great dept, 5 players will be way better than the rest. Many forget that. Canada always have the depth, and this year they played the Danes and Slovakia in the QF/SF. Buch carried a very heavy load for 6 tough games during 10-11 days, that's tough for a 19 y/o. The Canadian kids had much easier road. Sweden wasn't even remotely able to keep a high lvl that could compete with the best this tourney.

 

[Kshahdoo]

Can we get a line on #6 gavrikov.... Buddy's with Buch?

As far as I remember the best Buchnevich's friend is Nichushkin. Rangers should unite the two.

 

[Raspewtin]

Pretty much sums it up, Duclair's line was the only line worth a damn all game.

 

[PlamsUnlimited]

Reinhart and Domi were on that one. Easily the best line
