Quite a night for the 2009 WJCU20 crew. Richard Panik 0+1/+2, first star of the game in Norfolk's 4-3 win over Connecticut. The shootout to decide the game went 9 rounds until Richard Panik scored the winner in the 10th. Jaroslav Janus stopped 9 out of 10 in the shootout, and 25 of 26 shots in relief of starter Dustin Tokarski.
Tomas Tatar 1+1/+2 was named first star in Grand Rapids' 4-3 loss to Rochester. It is rumoured that Detroit has offered Anaheim Gustav Nyquist, Tomas Tatar, and a first round draft choice for Bobby Ryan.
Marek Viedensky 1+1/+1 was named second star in Worchester's 3-2 win over Providence. In the second period Marek rushed towards the net, and as he passed the net on the LW, he reached around the front and slid the puck past the Providence goaltender.
Good. Though is that really true about DET offering both Tatar and Nyquist, whoa, I wouldn´t expect that, I could see them offering one of them, but both? I mean I know that the Wings currently have a lot of promising forward prospects, but I was under the impression that Nyquist and Tatar were the ones the closest to making the NHL full time...
Also a good night for some of the 2012 WJC crew as Martin Gernát gets 2 a (who now has 7pts in his last 4 games), 3 pts for 2 g and 1a for Jurčo for whom it was only the 3rd game back since the WJC and 3 a for Marek Tcrdoň (who has points in all games he has played since WJC (11pts in 7 games).
Also this week there´s been a two day monitoring camp in Žilina for players born 94,95 and 96 aimed at discovering new players for the junior NTs, players were selected by the league coaches. it mainly included players who already were parts of the U16/17/18 teams already, but I guess it gave some of the others kids a chance to show themselves in comparison with them. The camp included all the junior NTs coaches.
