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...

    • Some of the small nations have competed in the past but usually lost 30-0 to the Aussies
    • Officials persons (include Head) of RLF are still in ban. For example, Vaelbe has spoken even more terrible words but, however, CAS obliged to gave them AIN status. And it's the same situation here - FIL must to implement CAS's decision. But it's not clearly FIL's criterias for AIN status and that too strange
    • For Modern Pentathlon, it's interesting that Africa only gets one continental championship spot, considering how well Egypt does in the event.  (But then again, it's max 2 athletes per NOC per gender.)  Presuming that an Egyptian wins the African CCh, I suppose their performance in the other major competitions will allow the second competitor to come through.
    • Statement from the president of the russian Luge federation (yesterday): "Our team is in Kazakhstan and is preparing to apply for U.S. visas. We are setting an example for our entire country, especially for the younger generation. They see that a difficult path is not a reason to give up. It teaches perseverance. In this perseverance lies our shared strength, our mission to millions of young people for whom sports are a guiding point and a shining star. I believe in our country, in our strong-spirited guys. I sincerely love and respect our president, Vladimir Putin. He is the best president in the world. May God grant him strength and good health."   Do they deserve neutral status?
    • I did not think it would happen again but... I created similar post for Paris - 2024 https://totallympics.com/forums/topic/27489-ain-athletes-qualification-for-paris-2024-olympic-games-and-reallocation-of-quotas-post1-updated-1507/#comments  I was not sure if that reallocations would really happen but the reality was even more serious than the expectations. According to this research 43% of the neutral statuses issued by the IFs were fake AIN  - https://razom22.com/neutrality-research/  And the figures are based on the IOC decisions - not on the evaluations by Ukrainian NOC or sport ministry. Right now the situation is absolutely unclear. As usually )) Some notes: 1. Russians will not reject quotas for 2026 as they did for 2024 in judo and wrestling. 2. AINERP may be more loyal to russians due to the new member - Watanabe. His federation issued AIN status to Melnikova who took part in the primaries of the russian ruling party, had phots with Z and e .t.c. 3. I do not expect a lot of reallocations becaues of the total small number of the rus/blr athletes in qualification events right now. 4. BUT, even with these small numbers we see that FIS allowed to compete several incompliant persons.        Short notes from the IOC statement before Paris - 2024:   1. IOC`s decisions to reject quotas are final. 2. IOC`s decisions to approve quotas are not final - new facts may lead to the rejection of invitation. 3. IOC`s decisions cannot be appealed - NOCs were not invited to the Games, so it is a good will to invite individual athletes... or not   russians Sports Athlete(s) Discipline Possible Reallocation NOC IOC Decision + IF reallocation if happened Figure skating Adeliia PETROSIAN Women's singles Stefania Yakovleva Confirmed by IOC Figure skating Petr GUMENNIK Men's singles Davide Lewton Brain Confirmed by IOC belorussians     Sports Athlete(s) Discipline Possible Reallocation NOC IOC Decision + IF reallocation if happened Figure skating Viktoriya SAFONOVA Women's singles Stefania Yakovleva Confirmed by IOC  
    • I would say they will not be eligible. But it realy abotut the wording every federation has in its papers. World Aquatics changes their policies several times (especially after Mazepin "solved the issues" persoanlly - as witnessed one russian Olympic champion)   Inoirtnat notes on FIS decisions:   FIS points are frozen for ruissns and belorussians - so the situation is not so complicated for a lot of them. The list of the AIN`s is not final as the list from ISU was. It means that persons mau be not only removed from the list but added as well. I expect russians to try some freestyle applications before the stage in China, for example. FIS has not problems with the deny of visa or entris by the host countries. So they kept the possibility to close the doors for the russians for all the countries as ICF did. No sanctions for this, no removing events from the Olympic qualification list, no host changes,   * * * * * Here is the the relevant extract from FIS papers for Aerials tram event. What do you think?
    • Not only Korostelev but all 3 russian entries. I will bring the detail 
    • And will bet that the IBU is a lot richer than the FIS because their wealth is based on German TV contracts.  
    • Russians filed an appeal to CAS against IBU. But I do not believe they will get any result in time to grab quotas. I suppose IBU will not agree to have "fast" hearings as FIS did. And i suppose IBU will fight in CAS without intention to lose as FIS did.
