kaos Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 Mark Streit scored on the powerplay at 6:42 into the third period as the Swiss team shocked the Czech team at the Olympics. Source....TSN Why can't he score a big goal like this in Montreal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoRvInA Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 Oh My Crystal ball here tells me we'll be seeing JETSNIPER adding his 2 avalanche loving cents here pretty soon... on just why Streit was able to score a goal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ch_nl Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 He is also the captain of the Swiss team. Of course his play excels when he plays on a rink size his familiar with, good friends and, he is the star of this team. Sees a lot of ice time and this is the reason why the Canadiens drafted him in the first place. They hope that he can be as good in the NHL.

He needs confidence, which comes only with ice-time... But it's hard to give him ice-time, if others are more deserving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMMR Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 Streit is talented especially on the PP. As everyone knows and has posted it is easier to play with confidence. But if Dadny struggles for a few games try Streit out for a few games and give him some solid minutes he will step up and will be a plus offensively, he has great vision respectable foot speed and a great shot. As for the Swiss winning they were out shot 42-19 Abischer played well and the Swiss although heavily out shot had numerous odd man rushes.

jetsniper Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 Well..excuse me for being an Avs fan. Aebischer is already a legend in Switzerland though. This just elevates his status. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 Looks like he matched his amount og goals in the NHL this season in his first olympic game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athlétique.Canadien Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 Streit is a good player. I'm glad the Habs have him. After all, we've all seen that one timer slap shot. The way the stick bends, that's awesome. Time and time again over the season I've been waiting for those one timers to go in. With a shot like that, it's only a matter of time. I wish Streit would hit the target more. But maybe, just maybe Streit finds his game because of the Olympics. P.S. Komisarek bashers, give it a rest. When Gainey & Carbonneau stepped in Green was fired. The result has been a major improvement for #8 Habs :hlogo: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nilan25 Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 (edited) Streit is a not good enough to play in the NHL. He fights the puck constantly, is positionally poor and the game seems too fast for him, he is also too small. Not needed on this team Edited February 17, 2006 by Nilan25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutch_Habs_Fan Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 It's not that Streit played such a good game. He made some terrible mistakes. He wasn't the best player on Swiss side, he just made a difference with that goal (and a nice one it was) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
