I still haven’t finished this episode because I keep getting interrupted!! But this poor Askarov kid…a rep as the “guy who can’t win the big one” is rather unfair. He isn’t playing every position plus coaching. Don’t you think that is harsh?
Also- y’all said this is his last tournament. I assume an age limit? So instead of Googling, what are the age limits for juniors?
I don’t know any of these players but I wanted to leave a comment so…I thank you in advance for your answer!
Guys i think that number one goalie will be Jakub Malek NJ devils prospect which is best goalie in czech 2
Sorry guys but looks like your take on Russia is mostly incorrect as Russia is ONLY taking players that play in Russia…all of the WHL/AHL guys won't be there
