Some quick stats from the Draft

 

The NHL clubs this year have drafted a total of:

87 players born in :CAN  

49 from the :USA  

26 from Sweden :SWE 

25 from Russia  :RUS 

14 from Finland :FIN

7 Czechs :CZE 

6 Slovaks :SVK  :yes

3 Latvians :LAT 

2 players each from Germany :GER , Switzerland :SUI and Austria  :AUT 

and 1 from Belarus :BLR and one from Poland :POL  @Monzanator

 

As mentioned above

Juraj Slafkovský is the only 9th European player drafted #1 in the history of the NHL

and Slovakia is only the second European country in history with the top two picks in the NHL Draft :hyper: after Russia in 2004 (Ovechkin and Malkin drafted 1 and 2) 

Also Juraj Slafkovský is the first ever #1 NHL draft pick player from :FIN Ligue (This is really enormous surprise I must say, never before any player from the SM Liiga was drafted numero uno)

 

And finally gazillions of new records for Slovakia.

a- Marian Gáborík's national record (3rd by Minnesota in 2000) was sent into the history this year by both Slaf and Nemec.

b- Nemec is the highest drafted Slovak defender ever. Also he became the First ever Slovak blueliner drafted as #1 among all defenders (also applies obviously for Slaf among forwards, both highest slovak darfted forward ever and first slovak forward drafted as first forward overall)

c- for the first time in history, 3 Slovaks were drafted in the first round !!! :bounce:

d- 6 players drafted overall, is the highest number since 2005 when 7 Slovaks were drafted. (the absolute record is simply eternal, from 2000 with 16 Slovaks picked out)

For the record, Mariusz Czerkawski & Krzysztof Oliwa are the only two drafted :POL players that actually played in NHL. Kolusz & Pysz are Polish but they never played in NHL. Sidorkiewicz, Valtonen (sic!), Liv, Wolski & Szuber were either born in Poland or are of mixed Polish ethnicity but they represented other countries. Szuber was born in Opole and resides in Germany. He played for Germany in WJCh so he's no more Polish than Miroslav Klose :p

Son of God´s first day in Montreal

 

1:28 "Yeah, it´s not getting any better..." :lol:

 

Also loved the answer to the booing from some montreal fans : "I think it’s about hockey, hockey is their passion as well as mine. And maybe some of them did not like me, but I will do everything that I will play good for this team, and ... they will actually... maybe like me one day." :d

I see he restricted adding comments on the IG profile so he maybe didn't want to have the last pic flooded by French comments :p

 

I noticed tennis plater Linda Fruhvirtova liked that pic so maybe she is a hockey fan too ;)

a lot of moves in the last couple of days...

 

the most important (and unexpected), Johnny Gaudreau signing a 7-year deal with Columbus :yikes: at 9.75 million/year

 

then, Vincent Trocheck signing also a 7 year deal with the NY Rangers to replace Andrew Copp, who went to Detroit (the Red Wings also signed David Perron for 2 years at 9.5 million/year, Domink Kubalik and Ben Chiarot)...

 

Claude Giroux and Cam Talbot went to Ottawa (together with Alex DeBrincat), meanwhile Edmonton signed Jack Campbell to fill their need for a good goalie and re-signed Evander Kane for 4 years...

 

more moves...the Avalanche lose Burakowsky (going to Seattle) and Kuemper (Going to Washington), meanwhile Carolina replaces Trocheck with Max Pacioretty and De Angelo (gone to Philly...just prepared my pop corn to watch how it goes between him and the new Flyers coach, John Tortorella :roflmao:) with super-veteran Brent Burns...

 

"my" Kings a few days ago signed Jake Fiala from Minnesota and re-signed Adrian Kempe for 4 more years...

 

waiting for more "bombs" in the next few days...

    • keeps its perfect qualification record in women's curling    definitively gave them a lot of gifts today. For their sake hopefully they can draw better against the  tomorow.
    • Obviously impossible to know in advance but in 2022 all ten skaters Canada qualfiied skated individually, and 9/10 competed in a relay as well.
    • 4-3  over  at the break, Norway with hammer.
    • whatever you heard is just speculation. no one knows at the moment, probably even the orange himself.   and Iranian athletes failed to get visa so many times before. even female athletes. there is no pattern, it's just too random.    and yes Iran has a system of compulsory military service for men, and there is 50% chance for anybody to be randomly drafted by IRGC affiliated organizations. that's the case for Taremi and few others in the current team.  
    • Would you believe the NCAA Indoor season has already started?      
    • Some changes that I've noticed:   3x3 Basketball: With the expanded 12 team field, one extra team per gender qualifies through world rankings, one extra team qualifies through the universality driven tournament and there's now an Olympic Qualifier series to award the final quotas.   Beach Volleyball: Continental qualifiers have have priority over the World championship and World Rankings quotas and there's now Olympic Qualifier Series quotas.   Canoe Sprint: World ranking system now in place and will be used instead of awarding world championship quotas. Road Cycling: 2 nations ranking quotas per gender moved to universality.   Track Cycling: Sprint and Keirin ranking list is now combined and will award 14 quotas per gender. Previously it was 7+7. Team pursuit down to 8 quotas from 10. 2 of the quotas have been moved to madison (one additional team) and 6 to the omnium.   Fencing: Can get a Continental quota of you finished in the top 24 of the rankings. It was previously top 16.    Hockey: 2 pro league quotas replace two qualification tournament quotas.   Judo: 5 less universality places and 4 more Continental places. For men, there's two more spots for Asia, one less for Oceania and 1 more for the Americas. For the women, there's one more spot for Europe, one less for Oceania and two more for Asia.   Modern Pentathlon: Less quotas awarded through world rankings as a result of quota cuts.   Open Water Swimming: Introduction of world ranking qualifier.   Sailing: In general, seems to be more quotas awarded at the last chance regatta and less quotas at the World Championships   Shooting: One less quota handed out at each World Championship and the return on World Cup qualifiers.   Swimming: Olympic qualification and consideration times renamed to A and B standard. B standard is now 1% slower than the A standard compared to 0.5% in 2024. Stroke 50s have their own direct qualification events and have minimum time standards instead of A and B standards. Qualification times have been nuked again. B standard selection process has also changed.   Volleyball: New revised format. Continental championships first, then world championships followed by world rankings. In 2024, it was 3 qualification tournaments and then world rankings. Only 3 countries per gender will qualify by world rankings now compared to 5 in 2024
    • For Italy, the match against Japan and likely the final match against Estonia will be a safe/relegation game, but I'm think that whether the match against Estonia will be decisive on anything, if we have 0 points after 4 matches. We're currently the worst team here – we have 0 points and are taking significantly fewer shots than our opponents in each match. Japan and Estonia are looking better for now and unfortunately, without significant improvement play starting tomorrow, we'll likely be relegated to the fourth division. With the absence of Russia and Belarus, this will be a shame, even for the weaker 2006/2007 age generation. Especially, since we are playing this tournament at home. For anyone could have competed with a good shape, except perhaps Hungary, who are currently the best team in the tournament.
