What d'you think 'bout the game of our 4 NHL players?
First of all I think that some of them (maybe S.Kostitsin and Grabovskiy...Salei???) mustn't take a part in the game agains SUI... Because after the strong game against SWE some our young not such "professional" players (Ugarov, Chupris) belief themselves. We needed to have a little pause, but made a great stressmark on NHL players...

Of course their game is great! But too more penalty for A.Kostitsin...too more!!! Grabovsky doesn't show his best game..and all of us know why.. But I've been waiting much more colourful game from the Kostitsin...

Salei... Haven't seen him for ages in our national team...only in NHL games by TV))) I think he shows realy strong and reliable game! Believe in him today... the gameday against CZE!!!

Go-go Belarus!!!!

the more NHLers the worse the game
in my opinion our best players this year are Antonenko, Koltsov, Ugarov, Meleshko, Mikhalev but not the NHLers
as for defenders I hink the best are Leontiev, Kostyuchenok and probably could be Makritsky, but he was injured against the Swedes

I don't think so...not this way... My opinion is not to make a stressmark on them... Anyway they are very young and not real professionals... too much attention to them... this situation is not very good for team atmosphere at all...

It's got to be tough for your NHLers to join the team at the eleventh hour...In Canada , we never add any players once the tourney starts, but we have ALL NHLers so that's no problem for us...

I hope u Belarusians don't make the same mistake that many Russians have for years...which is to have a LOVE/HATE relationship with your NHLers/ half hoping they will fail...Many Russian NHLers have been mis-treated/ disrespected by Russian coaches/ media / fans

Your own NHLers need time to adjust, the established stay at home players have had an advantage of being together longer, so cut your NHL guys some slack !

Name me any elite team , which has won the WC without a sizeable share of their top NHLers ? There are NONE in the modern era...It simply does NOT Happen...No need to ask why...Cause everyone already knows...NHLers ARE THE BEST !

Your Kostitsyn bros etc...are great NHL players ! ...and u not only must have them...u MUST SUPPORT THEM too at WC, if you want your nation to make a significant jump towards elite status

Maybe today Kostitsyn's et al... will show their TRUE WORTH vs. Czechs !?!

GOOD LUCK FROM A CANUCK
