Prospect Info: Pre WJC Discussion

[montreal]

I guess Olofsson may do better one of these days against kids though..

well he had 0 pts in 5 games last year so he can't do any worse at least.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Norlinder and Olofsson on the Sweden roster for a pre-WJC tournament.

 

[montreal]

will really help Norlinder's chances if one of the NHL teams doesn't release their prospect out of Boqvist, Sandin, or Björnfot.

 

[montreal]

Looks like Romanov won't be at the CHL-Russia series, he will instead play for Team Russia at the U-20 4 Nations in Finland on Nov 8th to 10th against Norlinder and Olofsson.

It's Russia, Sweden, Finland, and the Czech Republic.

 

[Habs Halifax]

I think it's possible. When you watch him he does a lot. He is big and skilled and plays like a C. It's just so disappointing that he doesn't put up the numbers.

Should play in the world juniors again this year I imagine. Hopefully the Sweds have talent for him to play with and we get to see his game and how he can play against players his own age. Not counting on him being a offensive dominate force at this stage.

Im wondering if Houde will get an invite for the super serie if Lapierre is still out with a concusion, watched him against Drummondville the other night and was really impressed, was a monster in the dot winning about all his faceoffs, was so dominant that his coach was sending him to take the defensive zone ones and then come back to the bench... Kid has great speed, easily one of the best skaters in the Q and I was pleasantly surprised by his hands, thats quick and soft... Houde plays a solid enough 200 ft game, I really enjoyed to watch him and will probably attend his next game against the Cats...

He started to produce at a higher level just after the rosters were annonced for the super serie so hopefully he is the next one in line if someone is hurt...

they haven't announced anything yet in regards to Lapierre as they have updated the rosters a few days ago, it's post here,

CIBC Canada/Russia Series

The Q games are on Monday and Tuesday so we should hear something this weekend at the latest.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Laferrière of Cap Breton won't be able to participate for Team Q. Houde has been named as his replacement.

 

[montreal]

Now if they could just find a spot for Hillis on Team OHL, we would be set.

Just saw that the Hawks called up Boqvist and they have 8 healthy D so perhaps he is there to stay. If so that could be very good news for Norlinder and his chances to make Team Sweden assuming the Hawks don't loan him which of course they still might unless maybe if they end up trading one of the D as it was said Seabrook was pissed that he was a healthy scratch again.

Lol I was wondering just the other night if Houde was the next in line for a spot in case of an injury...

Great great opportunity for him!!

Houde's #88


Rosters,

CIBC Canada/Russia Series

 

[Krnage]

any russian prospect to watch to the series ?

 

[montreal]

any russian prospect to watch to the series ?

for the '20 draft I'm interested in #26 Maxim Groshev.

 

[montreal]

kind of sloppy play to start from both sides but to be expected. Houde you can see he's got the skating/speed at least unlike some of the other forwards we drafted in that '18 draft.

 

[montreal]

1-0 Russia

 

[montreal]

Houde with the shot but it went high, good speed burst from him there.

 

[DangerDave]

Nice little fleury from the Q to end the period. Too bad they didn't bury one. Lavoie looks good

 

[montreal]

Team Q started to pick it up at the end there but still 1-0 after 1.

 

[DangerDave]

I like Groulx quite a bit this game

 

[montreal]

1-1

 

[montreal]

3-1 Q Fortier, Mercer, Pelletier with the goals

 

[DangerDave]

Q have taken over. They don't have much star power but I've been impressed with the effort tonight

 

[montreal]

that stings, Russia scores with 4 seconds left in the 2nd.

 

[montreal]

3-3
