SpikeDDS Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Filip Zadina was sent to play for the Czech Republic in the World Juniors. The idea was to let him gain confidence, hopefully scoring a bunch of goals. And the good news is that he was successful in that department. 7 goals in 7 games, 4 on the PP. I just hope he can bring that confidence back home to GR and start really tearing it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My hope is that the next injury brings Zadina to the NHL. After a very bad start at GR he has fixed his defensive lapses for over a month now and he just needs to get a bit of puck luck as he has been a bit snakebit in the games that I have watched (about half). My biggest concern isn't Zadina so much as it is our coach, I know it sounds like a broken record but he plays Rasmussen about 10 minutes a night, if he does that with zadina I would rather he stay in GR until Blash finally gets canned.

SpikeDDS Posted January 3, 2019 Author Share Posted January 3, 2019 @yave1964 Did you see Helmer's goal last night? I don't really see Helm as a finisher. IMHO the lack of knowing how to finish is Helm's greatest disappointment. But that goal last night was pretty. I hope it boosts his confidence and that more will follow. He and AA, together, make a complete, fast player. Both are fast skaters. One knows how to finish but is more of a defensive liability. The other is more defensively responsible but doesn't know how to finish as well. I wish we could put both of these players together in one body...or even three! The two together almost sound like Larkin! ;-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpikeDDS Posted January 7, 2019 Author Share Posted January 7, 2019 Aaaaand I feel like to total idiot. I was looking at LAST year's numbers. This year: 5 games. Total of 1 assist. Juniors did NOT meet the objective! I was wondering, as when I watched what I could, they weren't highlighting him. I was asking, "Why aren't you highlighting a guy who has scored 7 goals in 7 games?!" Because he didn't even score ONE! Bad news, not good. <sigh> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
