HelmFan 84 Report post Posted December 28, 2012 Cherry is wrong, they didn't LET him in the CHL, they WANTED him in the CHL just sao he didn't go elsewhere. IF not the CHL then maybe an American College or maybe the WHL, etc... the CHL wanted to best young prospect in the world to grace their league, so Cherry is WAY off target with his statement... Just to correct you: the WHL is part of the CHL. the WHL (western hockey league), OHL (ontario hockey league), and QMJHL (quebec major junior hockey league) all make up the CHL (Canadian Hockey League). Here's the wiki leak: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_Hockey_League It's the same as how the NL and AL make up the MLB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sibiriak 84 Report post Posted December 29, 2012 (edited) Apparently, the interview in question was done a couple of weeks ago and has only been printed now. News travels slowly in Russia. He's also not making himself available to the media for "clarification" on his comments, in particular the Canadian media. After Canada's performance against the Slovaks today (58 PIMs, 2(!) 5+20 miscondacts) maybe it is the Canadain media that should be the ones "clarifying" their statements on the subject of dirty play?

Curious, did you even watch the game ? The refs admitted they tossed out Camara for a clean hit. Lipon deserved to be tossed though, and got a one game suspension. North America plays a different style then Euro's, it's as simple as that. Russians don't like physical play, but Canada plays that style, it's the way they were taught. Yakupuckhog should be more concerned about passing the puck to his teammates instead of trying to be someone he's not (Datsyuk). Hopefully he keeps his head up against the Canadians otherwise things might get ugly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But there were other things that were not called, especially in the 3rd. Also, did you watch any of Russia's games? Yakupov's carreer WJC stats: 1G +11 (!) A. He "should be more concerned about passing the puck to his teammates instead of trying to be someone he's not (Datsyuk)"? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Hatethedrake! Report post Posted December 31, 2012 I'd like to thank the Russians for their clean play. Those 2 power play goals as a result of the Russian player cheapshot really helped Canada in their win today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shalunov got 5+game+extra game for a similar hit against the Slovaks. Sometimes the refs see it and sometimes not. See you in the final, if you can beat the US again that is. 1 Hockeymom1960 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
