Prospect Info: Andersson, Chytil, Pionk, Shestyorkin named to WC rosters

[romba]

These two lines really get me:



Yeah okay, maybe in youth rec sports or something, not in a legitimate competition played at a pretty high level. For the top teams coming into the WJC, it is absolutely true that only first place counts.



To be frustrated is "not the right attitude"? Who the actual **** wrote this? That is truly one of the stupidest things I have ever read with regards to losing a sporting event.

Where was the quoted from? It sounds like it’s written by a sports intellectual theory professor who’s never played a minute of anything competitively in his life. I mean even a spelling B loss in 2nd grade should warrant a good ‘f*** me’ or ‘oh shit! You meant read as in past tense not present? Well f*** you then and f*** your second place trophy too!’

It was the press release the IIHF put out.

IIHF - IIHF Disciplinary board decision

 

[Machinehead]

IIHF: "THAT'S IS YOU'RE OUT OF THE JUNIORS!"

Lias: "Uh.... I'll be 20?"

IIHF: "Yeah but of you weren't 20..."

Lias: "I play for the Rangers now, though."

IIHF: "THAT'S IT YOU'RE OUT OF THE 2020 JUNIORS TOO!"

Its a joke. Email the chariman of the committe Mr doctor doctor proffessor [email protected]

I am sure he don't get much attention, but he should hear about a joke of a decision like this some at least...

Yeah, and it’s record suspensions for IIHF in junior hockey. And lol OK if Lias got some kind of suspension for tossing the medal, most can be assumed that something like that isn’t super good.

But someone like Rasmus Dahlin who just took of the medal and held it in his hand when skating off, did he even have a clue that he was violating some rule??

Mail the chairman...

Well, if that is the reason for Dahlin's suspension, I expect the Canadian female to be suspended as well for doing the same at the Olympics

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

Absolutely absurd decision, but thankfully as has been stated Andersson wasn't elligible anyway.

 

[Irishguy42]

I hope Sweden wins gold at Worlds.

Then Lias will go up, get his medal, and then skate over to center ice, chuck it down onto the ground, and take a big fat dump on top of it.

IIHF is stupid.

 

[Ola]

Lines in practice, wasn’t sure Lias would be in but it seems like he is. The level of play in the WCH will be pretty sick.

[Irishguy42]

Kempe and Everberg.

Welp...alrighty then.

 

[UnSandvich]

Kempe and Everberg.

Welp...alrighty then.

Kempe's not terrible, but Everberg? A resounding meh from me

 

[Irishguy42]

Kempe's not terrible, but Everberg? A resounding meh from me

It's mostly Everberg

 

[YoSoyLalo]

Man, that team sucks.

I mean, Mika Zibanejad is the first line center, and we ALL know he’s not a true #1.

 

[Kovalev27]

I love what Andersson said. They asked him if he regretted it he said no F off.

Love it. sick of having 23 good guys on the team. Need some bad guys

Dear Lord, I'm not sure where you even start with their second statement there you originally quoted. Complete shambles.

We might very well lack a few 'character' guys, but I'll be very interested to see some of our guys next season, away from AV. Who knows the style of coach we will go for, but I'd bet it might be a bit less whistle to whistle and turn the other cheek hockey. I certainly hope so anyway.

Glad we have a player like Lias on the rise. A mentality like that is not easy to teach, probably impossible some might say.

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

They want him to be all like "oh well. Better luck next time". Yeah, that was his response last year. And the year before. You reach a point where there is no next year. This was it. His last year of winning a junior world championship. I really hate this "everyone is a winner" mentality

I've played in 3 national rugby championships in 4 years. I have 3 silver medals. Guess how much the 3rd one means to me? Nothing. I kept the first one, the other two I gave to my mom and grandma. I also remember almost nothing from the first final. The third though? Everything. Every play where we could have won it. And getting the medal, thinking "Another one, f*** this".

Some of my teammates just gave their medals away to kids on the sideline. I should ask if they ever got suspended by the Dutch rugby union hahahaha.

 

[Kaapo Cabana]

IIHF: "THAT'S IS YOU'RE OUT OF THE JUNIORS!"

Lias: "Uh.... I'll be 20?"

IIHF: "Yeah but of you weren't 20..."

Lias: "I play for the Rangers now, though."

IIHF: "THAT'S IT YOU'RE OUT OF THE 2020 JUNIORS TOO!"

Double Secret IIHF Probation

 

[Machinehead]

You know who sucks? Adam Larsson.

 

[Irishguy42]

Is this going to be the official WC thread? Should be stickied and title changed.

 

[Ratelleitlikeitis]

Well, if that is the reason for Dahlin's suspension, I expect the Canadian female to be suspended as well for doing the same at the Olympics.

Guess she was just following LA's example. She probably didn't think of the suspension consequences. Maybe LA will have his games transferred to his next IIHF event if that's the case.

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Guess she was just following LA's example. She probably didn't think of the suspension consequences. Maybe LA will have his games transferred to his next IIHF event if that's the case.

I just remember the outcry about the Swedes on Canadian social media, and then those same people defending this woman because "she's upset she didn't win gold. It shows passion" haha.

 

[Fitzy]

You know who sucks? Adam Larsson.

One of the reasons why I always treat scouting reports on "The next Lidstrom" or "The next Karlsson" with a grain of salt.

 

[Fvital92]

No pp for Lias.

 

[Machinehead]

One of the reasons why I always treat scouting reports on "The next Lidstrom" or "The next Karlsson" with a grain of salt.

Scouting reports tend to be... -I don't wanna say racist- but they try too hard to compare players from the nation when that comparison often isn't there.
