One guy that doesn't get talked about much is 2nd rounder Ryan Greene. He played most of the season with Celebrini and he's exactly what the Hawks need. 6'1" center who's tough and has the hands and IQ to be a 2C. He'll most likely start on the bottom 6 but he'll earn the trust of the coaches. I still would like a "Saad" size winger for Bedard. But maybe with more of an edge to his game.

Their names were on a lot of goals, so I thought they played together. I knew Greene started the season as the 2C but thought I read he was centering Celebrini at one point. Either way, he's a workhorse that'll provide a lot of energy and he can play with skilled players.

I didn't see even close to all the games but I kept track of Greene all season and checked "flashscore" which shows the lines and I don't think I saw any games where Celebrini wasn't the top line center and Greene the 2C. Again - they were both on PP#1 so I'm sure they had points together on the PP. Having said that I could have missed somethings.

The rest he has to be a top 6 player IMO.

a note on Kantserov, sounds like he had surgery on his shoulder (dunno which). he was injured in December and rehabbed it and then played through the playoffs with the injury. afterwards he says they decided he needed surgery. what the injury or surgery were, I got nada.

Here is an interview with Kansterov from the Athletic. The NY Times posted the interview so we can read all of it. Notice the title before the article. There isn't much more about the shoulder injury than what vadarx mentioned. I haven't read quite all of it but you learn some interesting things. He talked with one of the Blackhawk player development coaches, which was good to see. You'll see a picture of Kansterov and his family with the Gagarin Cup. Here was a very interesting question that's a ways down: "I don’t know if you’re aware but some Blackhawks fans get nervous about a KHL extension. The Blackhawks don’t have a great history with signing their Russian prospects in recent history. They get worried that you won’t come over." www.nytimes.com/athletic/5493145/2024/05/15/blackhawks-roman-kantserov-nhl-khl/

OTH, Here is a cut and paste. I'll split it in two posts so it won't be so long. I'll try and go back and clean it since some things are duplicated. I was afraid the article would disappear so I was trying to cut and paste in a hurry. Sorry if it's still jumbled.
On a video call before the KHL playoffs, Blackhawks prospect Roman Kantserov and player development coach Erik Condra watched clips of Kantserov and discussed his game.
Months later, the conversation still sticks with Kantserov.
“Before the playoffs began, (Condra) said, just trust yourself, play your game and you’re going to do great, you play like a playoff player, so just trust abilities and trust your gut on the ice,” Kantserov said through an interpreter. “It’s funny, but after his words, that’s what happened.”
Kantserov needed to hear it because he hadn’t shown that ability in the KHL regular season. Like a lot of 19-year-olds playing in Russia’s top league, he was playing down the lineup and struggling to get consistent ice time. The Blackhawks drafted him in the second round in 2023 because of his offensive ability, but he produced just 15 points in 53 games in his first full KHL season.
Condra’s confidence would soon come around to Kantserov’s Metallurg coach, Andrei Razin, too. As others on Metallurg failed to produce, Razin provided Kantserov with greater opportunity, and Kantserov didn’t disappoint. After going pointless in his first two playoff games, Kantserov produced a point in 11 of his last 21 games and had four goals and nine assists, including seven primary ones, finishing seventh in the KHL in playoff points. More importantly, he played a key role in Metallurg winning the Gagarin Cup. He averaged nearly three more minutes per game in the playoffs than in the regular season.
During an hour-long interview with The Athletic on Tuesday, Kantserov talked about his season, the playoffs, recently having shoulder surgery, re-signing with Metallurg, his future with the Blackhawks and much more. Kantserov spoke some English during the interview, but he was also interpreted by Vika Bulakhava.
What was it like to win the Gagarin Cup?
(Kantserov in English) When I was a kid, I lived in this city, I had seen my team, Metallurg. I was born in this city, in Magnitogorsk. My first team was Metallurg. When I was a kid, I looked every time how the big guys were playing hockey and it was unbelievable. I like this sport. And right now, I won the Gagarin Cup. It’s the best trophy in Russian hockey, maybe in European hockey. It’s pretty good for me. I’m feeling very nice.
(Through the interpreter) He said the prize of winning is sometimes injuries and he’s going to go through rehab now and get better, but he’s very proud and he’s very happy to win the Cup, the Gagarin Cup.
Did you have to put off the surgery to play through the playoffs?
(Interpreter) After winning the Gagarin Cup, Roman went to Moscow to go through medical examinations, and that’s when they figured out he needed the surgery. He got injured in December and was going through the rehab in January. They didn’t actually know he needed the surgery. In Moscow, they told him he was very lucky to play through the Gagarin Cup without needing the surgery. Once they went to the exams, they figured out he needed the surgery.
ADVERTISEMENT There were times this season where you didn’t play much, but in the playoffs, you were playing on the top line and getting a lot of ice time. What was like it like to play such a big role in helping the team win the championship? How did you evolve as a player throughout the season?
(Interpreter) When he started playing for the main team, he needed some time to get accustomed, to get situated, and he didn’t play to his full potential throughout the regular season. That’s why he didn’t get a lot of points and didn’t score a lot of goals. But then when the playoffs came around, he felt more confidence and the trust from the coaches, from the coaching staff and from the head coach. And he really realized that’s his game to play and he played to his full abilities. Essentially, he produced a lot of points and they ended up winning the championship. And overall, the general kind of idea is that the coaching staff on the team is trusting more younger players and let him have an opportunity to develop.

And overall, the general kind of idea is that the coaching staff on the team is trusting more younger players and let him have an opportunity to develop. It was unknown going into the season whether you’d remain in the KHL or bounce around leagues. How challenging is the KHL for a teenager compared to someone like Connor Bedard who played a lot for the Blackhawks this season? That doesn’t seem to be the case as often in the KHL.
(Interpreter) He played last year in his first game about four minutes. So after that time in the KHL, he spoke with the coach and it was known right away that he’s not quite ready. But then when he got drafted into the NHL, the head coach promised him a chance to play for the main team and give him the opportunity to prove himself so he can show his talents and show his abilities. So when the new regular season came along, he got his chance to prove it. When he started playing in the regular-season games, he was playing according to the coach, the head coach’s assignments, but he was also trying to get creative on the ice. In comparison to Connor Bedard, the Chicago Blackhawks weren’t up to par being a top contender potential, so Bedard had an opportunity to do whatever he can on the ice, wherever he wanted on the ice and show his full creativity.
In the playoffs, a lot of points were primary assists and it seemed like you were getting more creative. What changed in the playoffs? (Interpreter) During the regular season, the team’s main forwards were scoring a lot. But for some reason, when the playoffs came around, they were not as successful throughout the playoffs. In that case, players who didn’t score a lot throughout the regular season got a chance to showcase themselves. So, he attributes a lot to that effect, and then he got a chance to be creative and to show his abilities and score, create space and help his teammates to score.
What did it mean for you to be a finalist for the KHL Rookie of the Year Award?
(Interpreter) He was really happy to be nominated. But, he thinks that (Metallurg goalie) Ilya Nabokov also had his first KHL season and that he really deserved to win that. But most importantly for him, it’s the fact that the team won the Cup. That’s great accomplishment. And also, he’s really happy that the Chicago Blackhawks can see that success and see what he can do on the ice and get a chance to showcase himself during the playoff season.

Post by acesandeights on May 16, 2024 11:59:00 GMT -6
Did you get a day with the Cup?
(Kantserov in English) Yeah, I had one day with the Cup, which was 29th April to 30th April. I showed my first coach the Gagarin Cup, my second coach, my friends, my family, my girlfriend, my grandmother and took it some places around the city.
You played this season with Luke Johnson and Robin Press, who were both in the Blackhawks system. Have you talked about the Blackhawks with them?
(Kantserov in English) Yeah, so many times. I’m usually talking with Lukey and Robin. Sometimes we’re talking about Chicago, about Rockford. These guys, every time they told me, you’re a young guy, you have the chance, you have good skills, you have so much of a chance to play in the NHL. I remember when we were drinking on the team bus, Robin told me, promise me when you get to the NHL, you pay for a ticket to your game with the Blackhawks and me and Lukey will come to Chicago to see you play in the NHL. OK, I promise you. It’s funny guys. If you see Robin,bsolutely great Sweden defender. He has good hands, good shot, good skating. This guy was a big part of our team.
What went into your decision to sign a two-year extension in the KHL?
(Interpreter) He said that he signed the extension in December, and the main goal was he thinks that he’s still too young to kind of like to go to the NHL and wants a little more time to boil in the KHL and go through the process and get more accustomed to like adult hockey, like more the men’s side of the hockey. And a lot of young players in Russia are follow in the footsteps of (Kirill) Kaprizov. (Artemi) Panarin wasn’t drafted, obviously, but the same kind of like when he went when he was older to the league, and that’s why he decided to stay. Who knew that they’re going to go win the championship cup at the end of the season? But since he signed the extension, he feels responsible to fulfill that promise and that contract. That’s why he’s going to stay and play. And hopefully he’s going to be ready to come in and play in the NHL right away and get his chance in the main league.
I don’t know if you’re aware but some Blackhawks fans get nervous about a KHL extension. The Blackhawks don’t have a great history with signing their Russian prospects in recent history. They get worried that you won’t come over.
(Interpreter) So, first of all, it was his childhood dream to get to the NHL, so I think he’s really proud that he has an opportunity to do so, even though it’s not right away. And he’s hearing about the fact for the first time that younger players from Russia do not go over to Chicago. The main plan was to win the (Gagarin) Cup, and they accomplished the goal in his own city, so he feels that he has no sort of restrictions to transition to NHL. But when he was meeting with the Chicago Blackhawks staff and not only the head coaching staff but also mental coaches and video coaches, they were having conversations about the fact that he’s probably going to sign for another year or two to stay in KHL. So from what I understand it, they were aware of the fact that he’s planning on signing. But like I mentioned earlier, it’s his childhood dream and he wants to come to NHL and play here.
Did you get a chance to watch the Blackhawks and Bedard this season?
(Kantserov in English) Yeah, like after every game, maybe if I have a time, I open YouTube, searching Sportnet, looking for highlights. Chicago, I don’t think they always play good. I see how they’re usually losing games, but I see how Bedard is shooting, how he’s skates, how he thinks. I see the other guys, Philipp Kurashev, Nick Foligno, and I like it. Maybe I have a chance in two years to play with the big guys and help.
Maybe you can help them win the Cup in your first season there, too?
(Kantserov in English) Of course. That’s going to be marvelous. Tell them to wait for me.
The Blackhawks have the second pick in the draft, and Ivan Demidov is one of the players who could go early. What do you know about him? I think you played against him some in the MHL.
(Interpreter) He is saying congratulations to the Chicago Blackhawks in the second pick. He’s really happy for the team. He does know Demidov. He doesn’t know him as well, but he definitely is aware of the fact that he is a great skater, a great shooter, everything you can only mention in the young player and the huge prospect and player he is. Unfortunately, there are some circumstances with St. Petersburg SKA. I would say they’re creating some hurdles for him to come to the NHL and to be selected in the draft. So hopefully it’s all going to be resolved and he get his chance to play in NHL. But he has another year of playing for SKA, and hopefully after that, they will let him come to the NHL and he gets his chance to play in the NHL because he’s a brilliant player on the ice.
If you come to Chicago in two years, where do you hope your game is at? Where do you feel like you need to improve over the next couple of years?
(Interpreter) So, I’ll start with his joke at the end. He thinks that first he needs to heal his shoulder and then to concentrate on everything else. Overall, he says that he wants to refocus, to be consistent on the ice with his scoring abilities, to be more consistent in shooting the puck, making sure that he makes plays, with opponents to take the puck away and really concentrate in that aspect as well, be more consistent mentally on the scoring, on passing the puck, and he really hopes that he will be able to transition his success during the playoffs season into the next regular season and stay consistent on the ice in that area of, game.
Did you play mostly wing this season?
(Interpreter) He said that he actually played both wings, both left, right, and then as well played the center. So he was all over, but the last two and a half months he played in the center. And when he looks at the guys like Nathan MacKinnon, Jack Eichel, Connor McDavid, they’re all big guys. It’s an interesting position to play in the center, so he was absolutely open to try himself out. He definitely need to sharpen his skills for the faceoffs a bit, so that might be a bit of the focus there. But he definitely thinks that it’s an interesting position to try himself out.
You seem to have improved your English since last time we talked. Have you been working on that?
Kantserov in English) Yeah, a little bit. I try and watch English movies, NHL highlights. I study hockey slang for key words like corner, slot, rush, English words and hockey language. And also always trying to talk with Robin Press and Luke Johnson. Luke is an American guy. We always talk. He told me, Roman, you have good English, improve your English in the U.S. and guys like it.

Try it out on an old laptop or PC if you have one. It doesn't slow down like a windows machine after a few months, no de-fraging or antivirus and it's much more secure.
Oh, and it's free to download.

If I had one, I would definitely giver a shot. I have an iMac too. Just easier to use. Actually my iMac is super decked out. One of my bestest friends ever (who passed away almost a year ago) sold me his iMac. He was a music producer and his iMacs were set up to do whatever he needed. He proposed this to me and I took it. It was a 40k iMac for 1500$. He was helping me out as I record music myself. Not on the level like he did. But me and him a couple times a week would dick around with it. I’ve always recorded stuff and played in bands when I was younger. Just a side hobby now. Much more computer than I need. 32 gig of ram. 2 hard drives 1 terabyte each. All the latest chips and stuff. It works flawlessly for me. Never once have I had an issue with anything performance. The only issue with Mac is. When you download the new OS. It never seems to work with anything. But that’s a Mac issue!!!

I might have to give this a shot with my old laptop. how does it work for watching movies or live events? It works great for that, unless you use some windows-only app for viewing (if there is such a thing). Plus it would be more secure if watching sketchy feeds. Only gaming on it could be tricky, but there are ways around that if you wanted to game. I use a console for that.

The only issue at all that I had was my wifi adapter didn't work since it wasn't linux compatible. I just bought a new one for $25 and used the old one on a laptop.

When I was running a Linux laptop as my server with only 1 gig HDD was being used as a file share with other people. It also allowed me to have 50 email addresses for the people using it. Back then I used to have running 24/7/365 3 PC's and 2 laptops. Electric bill was crazy, but the heating bill was low.

I'm an old retired geezer now but 20 to 30 years ago I was a Linux systems programmer for a Fortune-500 company. I was "grep'ing", "awk'ing" and "sed'ing" all over the place. I wrote an interactive menu system with a series of Linux scripts for the operations staff to do a bunch of their daily tasks. It was a very fun time in my almost 50 year career. Creating stuff was definitely more fun than the mundane stuff that predominates most days in a long computer nerd career.

That took this ex-construction worker a bit of time.
