I honestly never even noticed Brule once. even at this diminished level of hockey. I couldn't tell you what number he was wearing or one good play he made.

This is probably fortunate but I barely remember some of the above. For instance Horak, Radunske. I kind of liked Hartikainen, totally forgot about him though. He was good when he brought the big player game.

It'll be interesting to see how many of the guys over there get offered contracts or PTO's around the league. It's a golden opportunity for them in more ways than one.

I saw Jim Rutherford on tv yesterday. He was asked if the Penguins have any scouts at the Olympics and he said they didn’t.

NHL GM’s and scouts know who these players are and they don’t think they’re NHL caliber anymore. I think we’ve learned in the last few years how big the talent gap is now between the NHL and everywhere else too.

Horak was in the Smid deal with Broisolt wasn’t he? I remember being annoyed with Mactavish when he bolted back to Europe not long after the Oilers acquired him.

Thanks, I don't remember seeing much of him. Afairc he played one game here. The guy escaped the Oilers. He should have a post hockey career of predicting the future.

Getting highlights for the Olympics is always so dumb.

Yeah, I love seeing slideshows of the game because it's not through NBC. :|

I have actually been very happy with all the access and video that the CBC has available on it's website.

 

[LaGu]

I just think it's fun to follow this, same for the WHC. I just saw one game so far, but I thought I'd update the scoring race on occasion...



Edit: I think this tournament can be very significant for some players. Best of the best not in NA.

Edit 2: Dahlin scratched in game 1...

I don't buy that, if they don't have a person there looking they are not doing their job.

NHL has an interest to ignore the Olympics, but it is best on best non-NHL, which means it's pretty dumb to not be looking as an NHL team.

 

[RattsSSV]

Radunske?

Don’t remember this guy.

I couldn't place him either.

Played in 8 games for the Roadrunners in 04-05 and got a goal and an assist, then went down to the ECL.

 

[LaGu]

Radunske?

Don’t remember this guy.

Drafted, never played. I also did not remember, but I saw a piece on Korea's team and they brought it up

Too bad HF purged all their old threads and didn't allow the Internet Archive to at least save some of them. Could've seen how people thought of him back then. 3rd round pick, 79th overall in 2002. Only 3 goals and an assist in 28 AHL games.

Same way we reacted to Geoff Paukovich.

 

[Digger12]

Ugh, hearing the names of Radunske and Plante makes me PTSD all over again. So much junk we had back then. And dammit, I thought we had a diamond in the rough with Hartikainen! If only his skating had improved even a little bit.

 

[Beerfish]

Homan choking badly. Koe playing well and having to face some surprisingly tough opponents.

I don't by that either, Troy Terry is going to increase his interest from NHL teams. Plus there are those unknown guys from who have a chance to really make a name for themselves as well.

 

[Supermassive]

Canada vs. Czechs on CBC now. Scrivens is...Scrivens. Tied early.

 

[BlackDogg]

The Scrivens I remember.

 

[Del Preston]

Ben Sievens

Bryan Young (0-0-0) on South Korea is another. This tournament is loaded with grinders and guys who flamed out as Oilers.

Viktor Fasth is one of the goalies for Sweden.

Tom Renney and Morey Gare are also part of Canada's management group.

Oops. Got lazy and thought Young was already mentioned.

 

[rboomercat90]

I see it’s already been mentioned but Scrivens still sucks. Every time the Czech’s shoot at him, I expect it to go in. Bad memories.

 

[BleedingOil]

Scivens is actually keeping us in the game, so many brutal giveaways in front of the net.

 

[rboomercat90]

Ugh, too many ex Oilers on this team and they look like ex Oilers.

 

[Supermassive]

Benito No Bueno in the shootout. Held us in it through the last two periods, though.
