Kindl Surprise 47 Report post Posted December 20, 2011 Hey hey it's nearly that time of year again. Who else is super excited?? Canada had their first preliminary tournament game last night vs. Finland and got a 3-1 win. Great to see Teemu Pulkkinen pop one in for the Fins last night and it should be fun to watch all the prospects in international competition! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

anthonyn66 89 Report post Posted December 21, 2011 does anyone have the full list of Red Wings prospects that will be at our game? I'm thinking Pulkkinen, Jurco, Mrazek, but is there anyone else? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red Wings Addict 787 Report post Posted December 21, 2011 does anyone have the full list of Red Wings prospects that will be at our game? I'm thinking Pulkkinen, Jurco, Mrazek, but is there anyone else? Yup. Along with Mattias Backman and Marek Tvrdon. Nedomlel should be there as well but it seems as if any player who decides to play in NA gets punished for a year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Red Wings Addict 787 Report post Posted December 21, 2011 What about Jarnkrok? Too old? Probably. But Sweden depends on him for the older world tournaments now. I'm not exactly sure but I think he's getting some consideration for the World Championships this summer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Konnan511 1,736 Report post Posted December 21, 2011 Let's see, we have: Sweden: Backman Finland: Pulkkinen Czech: Mrazek Slovakia: Tvrdon, Jrco I think that's all. Nedomlel was suppose to play for the Czech but the Czech hockey federation has so much sand up their vaginas they aren't letting him play (He'd be one of their top 4) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nedomlel was suppose to play for the Czech but the Czech hockey federation has so much sand up their vaginas they aren't letting him play (He'd be one of their top 4) Off-topic, but I hope Swift Current trades Nedomlel to a contender. I'd love to see what he could do with a team that's not spinning its wheels like Swifty. I'm not too worried about Pulkkinen, but I am hoping Jurco can snipe a bunch for the Slovaks. Could be a huge tourney for him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

under_par_00 45 Report post Posted December 27, 2011 Well our boy Pulkkinen decided to take a wicked shot right off the foot of Canada's Smith-Pelley. Probably the most physical player on Canada now has a broken foot and will miss the rest of the tournament. In the prelim games, he put up something like 8-10 hits per game. Huge hits too.

Konnan511 1,736 Report post Posted December 27, 2011 Backman with an assist and two penalties last night. Pulu was one of four players that didn't finish with a negative plus/minus and he also broke some guys fot with one of his holy slappers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jurco has beendreamily good but Tvrdon has been one of the best, if not the best, player on the ice tonight. Each have a goal.
