No good German gives his kid a Russian first name.  And what kind of last name is "Quapp"?

They are the family that invented the game, "If your happy and you know it Quapp your hands"

Rosen should be credited with Swedens first goal again today.   Puck seems to have gone off his shin pads.  
was just starting to wonder if it’s time we start getting excited about him?   Of course there will be those who think he needs to get bigger and stronger (post above 👆)  but somehow forget guys like Marner, Kane and Gaudreau exist 

He looks like he has the frame to add more weight

Definitely.  He’s 19 and has plenty of time to add muscle

Maybe, and hopefully, but right now he looks like he'd be blown away in a Buffalo blizzard.

Why do some want to trade rosen? I think that would be a mistake

Probably the wrong thread for this but i'm not in the camp to trade Rosen, but i do think combining some of our assets and moving them for a more proven and ready player that fills our need. At some point it will become a numbers game. Theres just so many spots and realistically not all of these kids will pan out.

Possibly the wrong thread, but definitely the right idea.

I like that Rosen has been willing to get to the net on some of the plays.  He's not just playing perimeter hockey.  He can apply what he's learned in the AHL season so far.  He looks good.  He'll add weight in strength in the coming seasons.

Why don't we call it the Czech Republic anymore? Czechia hits the ear wrong.

Reasons I say olofsson can be replaced

He’s holding up pretty well in the A. Not exactly a gentle league.

Make that 2 goals for Kulich

[bunomatic]

The panel saying Kulich has an NHL ready shot. Noice!

[GASabresIUFAN]

I think the Austrians are in over their heads.

Kulich with his hattie

Is it Ku-litch or Ku-lick? 

[ubkev]

So, who will be replacing Austria in next year's tourney? Wowsers!

[Crusader1969]

I believe Denmark has won promotion

The exciting thing about Kulich is that he is playing this tournament as an 18 year old.  He will still have eligibility in next years tournament.  
I’ve said this on another thread.  I think he’s a Sabres next season 

You can see  the progress Rosen has made playing with the Amerks. Certainly ahead of Östlund in their development.  
 

would have be interesting to see Kisakov, Poltapov and Novikov in the tournament
