Close I guess, but keep in mind Buchnevich is playing in the KHL already, Duclair is in a junior league. Kristo and Nieves in the mix too. Tambellini perhaps.
That hack Renney promptly ruined his career. Sent him to the minors when he was clearly the best defenseman in camp. I think he's playing for the Russian Olympic team.
It was just absurd that tool played scrubs like Hollweg, Ortmeyer, J. Ward ect over guys like Immonen. Not to mention the dopes he used on defense over Baranka. On a brighter note. Tambellini had a hat trick last night. Kid is beyond a beanpole. He needs to add at least 30 pounds before he could play in the AHL.
Both having such stellar careers in the nhl .....oh wait never mind. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk
Are you a moron? I just stated that both were screwed over by Renney for a bunch of scrubs that couldn't play you dense meathead. Once again, you attempt to be a troll. Why can't you accept the fact that Renney ruined their careers? Both players made their Olympic team and it's not like the Fins or Russians have scrubs making those teams. You still can't accept the fact that coaches ruin the careers of prospects because they are stupid. How many freakin years did we watch Torts not keep lines together to develop chemistry. AV in a half a season did what Torts couldn't. Built some lines with chemistry.
I'll you two guys that Torts was well on his way to ruining with their NHL careers. Zucc and Kreider. He spent 3 seasons jerking Zucc around trying to make him a shot blocker. He actually convinced me Zucc couldn't play he was such a dumbass. He was starting to do the same thing with Kreider. You think Kreider and Zucc would have done jack with that imbecile Renney coaching this team? If you do, stop watching this sport.
Clownarella is on the fast track to be bounced out of vancouver after one season. No playoffs and has achieved a miracle in that I think in the last month neither of the sedin twins have scored. Krieds would still be being jerked around back and forth to the ahl and frodo would be cut already and trying out for a part in Lord Of the Rings 4
I don't give a crap where is. The point is he is playing on a good Olympic squad because he's a good talent. Renney ruined him.
Again. No NHL team had traded for these great Olympians. Why is that? And let's not forget that AV sent Kreider down this season too. Any chance the kid thought too highly for himself. The very best would want to be playing in the NHL. Yet immonen and branka don't. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk
Btw. Its michael branka on the Czech team. And look at Finland's roster...Laurie korpokoski is on it...a lot of offensive talent on that team Immonen was an injury replacement btw. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk
Al has this absurd idea that coaches in the NHL can do no wrong. That they always play the best talents. That they know how to play the best talents. Puhlease. Just look at how many coaches get fired every season in professional sports. Most coaches are complete morons. They try to play players to fit to a system instead of playing players to their strengths. I've grown tired of trying to explain that to Al. At this point, I consider him on the level of DDD with his hockey knowledge. He should go to that board.
Btw Al, try reading Stepan's post about Baranka. Further proof you are a troll Al who ignores all the posts in a thread other than mine. I'll just start calling you DDD from now on.
