Technically Finland is not part of Scandinavia. It’s a Nordic country but not Scandinavian.

Hmmm good point, I should have known that from Europa Universalis

 

[deadhead]

Well, the Russians consider Finland to be a suburb of St Petersburg.

And it seems the Finns are more closely related to the Baltic nations and the Russians than Scandinavian peoples.

Wait really? What are the Scandinavian countries then? Just Sweden and Norway?

And Denmark.

And Denmark.

So what constitutes "Scandinavian" then?

So what constitutes "Scandinavian" then?

Shared language and cultural history.

Shared language and cultural history.

Figured it was something like that. Today I learned.

 

[LEIFey]

Of all the things to bring you back to post...

Haha. I never left. Just don’t post much since I don’t get to watch many games so I wouldn’t know what the heck I was talking about. You guys are how I know whether to be optimistic or pessimistic about the Flyers.

Shared language and cultural history.

Very few people realise that from a technical perspective Norwegian is not a language in itself but a dialect of Danish aha. As close as English English and Scottish English for example in terms of mutual intelligibility. And exactly the same written.

Swedish is a different language from a technical perspective, albeit a hell of a lot of similarities. Can be understood in terms of basic stuff in Danish/Norwegian in Sweden without knowing any Swedish. But not to the same degree as Danish and Norwegian.

Although most Norwegians especially will understand Swedish as their accents are similar and Norway gets so much Swedish TV ahaha.

Denmark too I believe. Basically Scandinavia=where vikings lived, Fonland=where ice Alamabians lived.

Yea I’m learning Swedish right now and my friend is studying Norsk. We have a shocking amount of overlap.

I have it on good authority from my Swedish friends that Swedes really hate the Danes.

if frost needs to get better at draws he needs to be on the big club anyone who plays center on that team has improved their faceoff % and i would cite Giroux for that

IIRC, when Giroux first came up, he had some face off work with Clarke which helped. I believe that if Frost could work with CG, his performance on FOs would improve.

Sociological experiment. A group of Danes, Swedes and Norwegians were each isolated on an island of their own to see how they would work by themselves for a three year period of time. When the experiment was over, it was found that the Swedes were fighting with each other. The Danes were drinking and partying. The Norwegians hadn’t introduced themselves to each other. So much for a unified Scandanavian identity where one fits all.

I really want to see Frost bring it this weekend, he's been improving, but time to make it clear he doesn't belong in the AHL.
It would be even better if Willman did the same, and we could see Willman - Frost - Brassard in a week or so.

Desnoyers keeping it up, 12g 10-12 22 +11. 6-8 14 at ES.
How good has he been, his linemates are L'Heureux +5, and Orr +2. No otherr Halifax forward is > +1.
So Desnoyers is carrying his teammates, not the other way around.

L'Heureux got kicked out tonight 3 minutes into the game. Mooseheads are winning 2-1 n the 1st period and Desnoyers has 2 assists.

Both goals are by Bobby Orr.

And after googling, I noticed Desnoyers still gets no respect, L'Heureux as the 1st rd pick gets the attention.
But Desnoyers was the lead dog last year at 18, and is leading at another level at 19.

Missed the second goal. First point was a deflected point shot on the PP which doesn't count obviously.

He's among the leaders in ES points, our boy isn't racking up inflated statistics!

I’m not sure why you push Willman so much.

 

[deadhead]

I’m not sure why you push Willman so much.

Because he's fast, has good size, and has improved by leaps and bounds the last two years after recovering from a knee injury his senior year (and was hobbled in a fifth college season). He's an older player, but his backstory explains why it took him so long to blossom.

If you like him, you like him. But I think you’re quite overrating him as an NHL prospect.

He’s pretty fast, & that’s about it. I’m not seeing anything beyond another fringe 4th liner/AHLer.

Jay O’Brien finally back for BU.

 

[deadhead]

Good. We really need JOB to develop, because speed is definitely an organizational need.
JOB and Tuoamaala are the only fast prospects in the pipeline. Maybe Avon, but he's a huge ???
Lycksell has some speed, who else?
