Montreal just finish the Capitals winning streak.......good game very exciting! Too bad the Caps lost, oh and DJP19, the Pens too lost a 3 goals lead, does this mean they suck?
Same thing here, the Caps is a well oiled machine, even if Ovy does nothing there's a whole lot of guy who can handle the game. Theo wasn't better with his 3 goals in 10 min.
I really don't know either, i was asking the same question to myself. He was looking pretty nervous in the game, maybe he was injured and make it worst in the game.
The Islanders will start their training camp in China! Charles Wang managed also exhibitions with China national team
It is said that it's already confirmed both by NHL and NHLPA.
By then they won't be too bad. Lots of Chinese-Canadian kids will go over on visas and play for them. Kind of like another country or two I know of. *cough*Britain*Cough* God Britain even does it in soccer,...football, futbal, footy....read OWEN HARGREAVES.
It is different when you are born somewhere and move immediately like Heatley and Kolzig....not like Hargreaves who never left Canada until he was 17. And England/Britain same thing...just the English like to use British to sound more imperial.
BTW--That photo is so old ... you need a new one..with crutches.
There should be more Irish-Americans playing for Ireland.
Hargreaves is a funny one. He was born in the Canada. Then moved to Germany to play for Munich and has only been in England for about 3 years. 2 of which he's been in America have treatment on his funny knees. It was weird seeing a guy playing for England when he hadn't actually been there before.

Good knowledge. His mother was Welsh and his Father was English (or vice versa). He actually played for Wales U21 too. But since England capped him at full international level. He was not allowed to play elsewhere.

If this helps, China is better than Mongolia, Portugal, United Arab Emirates, South Africa, Liechtenstein...
There were interesting interview of South African players at Finnish Jääkiekkolehti. They said that it's sad that there's just 1 icehall and it's not easy to get sticks and skates etc. And there's players just to few teams, so men and women play in same league.

That doesn't help me at all. I wouldn't have thought Mongolia, Portugal, United Arab Emirates, South Africa, Liechtenstein really know what hockey is.
I can imagine. There aren't many places in the UK you can buy stuff. Normally it involves travelling. Which i don't mind doing. I can imagine there being like one shop in the whole of Africa.
Akim Aliu! He was born in Nigeria. But moved early on... I really don't think they have Ice Rinks and stuff there... Maybe there's a niche in the market and we should all start hockey camps in Africa. We could find some real talents.

Good for Dallaa, though.
