John Flyers Fan said:I wasn't impressed with Schremp at all, IM Overy disappointing.
The US players that stood out positively IMO: O'Sullivan, Fritsche, Stafford, and Kessel. At times Kessel tried too much of the one-on-one game, when he'd have been better off using his speed beating guys wide, or playing the give & go game with a teammate.
windowlicker said:We must have watched different games then, because the guy I saw skating around in a Schremp jersey played pretty good & managed decent offensive stats with limited ice-time.
I agree, I think he is a very poor skater. I now understand why (last year at least) he got a hugely disproportionate amount of his points on the power play in London.John Flyers Fan said:This is the first times I've been able to watch Schremp, and my first impression, was, poor skater.
I was thinking more along the lines of projecting him to the NHL, as opposed to how he performed in this tournament.

Personally, I felt Schremp was a liability in every zone but the offensive one.joejohnstone said:How does 4 goals and at least 5 amazing setups in VERY limited icetime not impress someone. Get real.
windowlicker said:Agreed. His skating is definetaly not a current strength of his. Though if we were to project that onto a possible NHL outlook, there are plenty of small(ish) NHL centers who dont possess a good stride or skating technique, yet found their niche in the league anyway. (Someone correct me if Im wrong, but I seem to recall that coming out of Lake Superior, Doug Weight, a possible future comparable, was not the strongest of skaters either.)

Mountain Dude said:I thought the forwards looked pretty skilled and speedy. The D didn't look very good to be honest, and the coaching was really, really ******, they didn't seem to have any systems or plays, and no puck support.
I didn't think his defence was any worse than a lot of other forwards. O'Sullivan for one, who prides himself on his defensive play, didn't look like he did a whole lot in his own end.Jacobv2 said:Personally, I felt Schremp was a liability in every zone but the offensive one.

Barnaby said:Savard comes to mind... he's a shifty player who's great with the puck, but I never considered him quick by any means.
beerpaul said::lol Savard is 1000 times better player than Shremp.
