I see 5 season where he was a minus player. http://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/players/899/ca...eoFL4pAR6ZivLYF Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miller Brew 0 Report post Posted December 28, 2009 You are describing Robert Lang. He's more of a Henrik Zetterberg than a Robert Lang style player... and he's not even a Zetterberg style player. I'm just saying this kid looked amazing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Miller Brew 0 Report post Posted December 28, 2009 You are correct. He's plus for the career, minus in 5 different seasons. Yeah, Lang was invisble more times than not. I am very excited about Andrej Nestrasil, I hope he's got desire to play in the NHL and not be a flake like Hudler, Ryno or Axelsson. His weakness is suppose to be his speed and acceleration. I didn't see him skate hard because he seemed to always be in position and the puck seemed to stick to his stick like Velcro. He seems like a very intelligent (hockey sense) and solid player.

Aussie_Wing 354 Report post Posted December 28, 2009 I'm watching the World Juniors right now and this kid is amazing! He does it all, he kills penalties, he scores goals (had a goal in the WJ), plays on the Power Play and he's logging a ton of minutes. He Czech's best player on the ice. His passing is crisp and complete and his vision of the ice amazing. He's extremely skilled defensively. He's relentless on the back-check and fore-check and is great at take-aways, and he dominates along the board. I can't find any flaws in his game. This kid will be a top-six player on the Red Wings. Holland stole this kid with the 75th pick. Did I mention he's huge at 6'2 @ 200ibs. I don't know what player in the NHL to compare him to but he's a complete and all-around amazing hockey player. He was Czech's best player tonight imo. Thanks for that. He's a very good prospect that's for sure. Having a good season in the QMJHL, 37 points in 33 games (slowed down a bit before the WJC) and good to hear he's producing on his biggest stage yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lang was a + player in every season, and in one of those he was around +43 I think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Carman 387 Report post Posted December 28, 2009 (edited) The +/- aren't mistakes. Unless of course nhl.com is wrong as well. There are a lot of people that are jealous of Robert Lang that would go out of there way to change stats. Edited December 28, 2009 by Carman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Miller Brew 0 Report post Posted December 28, 2009 The guy who created the video (seen on the OP of this thread) said Nestrasil is comparable to a Thomas Vanek type player (at his age). http://hfbroads.com/showpost.php?p=174161&postcount=2 Amazing! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
