Russia World Champs – Ramble – May 11, 2009

There are rumblings in the Anaheim area that Giguere could start Game 6. The Ducks are probably trying to play some mind games, I don't see them not starting Hiller.

 

Scott Walker could possibly be suspended – or at least the Bruins are calling for it – for his punch to the face of Aaron Ward that may have broken his orbital bone. We'll know more today.

 

Marin St. Louis and Ilya Kovalchuk led the World Championship tournament in scoring with 15 and 14 points respectively in nine contests. Former NHLer Mattias Weinhandl of Sweden was next with 12. Here is the rest of the top 20:

 

4. Shea Weber 12 in 9
5. Jason Spezza 11 in 9
6. Steven Stamkos 11 in 9
7. Niko Kapanen 10 in 7
8. Petr Cajanek 10 in 7
9. Dany Heatley 10 in 9
10. Alexander Radulov 10 in 9
11. Linus Omark 10 in 9
12. Tony Martensson 10 in 9
13. Mikhail Grabovski 9 in 7
14. Jaromir Jagr 9 in 7
15. Herberts Vasiljevs (Latvia) 9 in 7
16. John-Michael Liles 9 in 9
17. Derek Roy 8 in 9
18. Antti Miettinen 8 in 7
19. Aleksandrs Nizivijs (Latvia) 8 in 7
20. Dustin Brown 8 in 9

 

Abdelkader got his first playoff point – an assist – in his first playoff game. He won't have any fantasy value for the next two seasons at least.

 

James Wisniewski played 22 minutes and was a minus-2 in his return.

Dallas Prospect Jamie Benn returned on the weekend from his rather brutal looking injury and notched two assists to lead Kelowna to a 3-2 win. Kelowna takes the WHL title and move on to the Memorial Cup in Rimouski, Quebec. Windsor is the OHL champ. The fourth team will be decided tomorrow in a Game 7 of the QMJHL Final between Shawinigan and Drummondville.

 

Walker crushes Ward with a huge punch…
