AK-1 Posted September 9, 2008 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 # 44 - Roman Hamrlik Position: Defenceman Shoots: Left Height: 6' 2" Weight: 215 Born: 12 Apr '74 Born in: Zlin, Czech Republic Drafted: Tampa Bay's 1st round choice, 1st overall, in 1992 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
risteenhuis Posted September 9, 2008 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 Will Hamrlik be paired with a rookie / 2nd year player? Or will Hamrlik be paired with top 4 calibre player? I sort of hope with a top 4 calibre player as a shutdown pairing could be tough to play against. Hammer - Komi. I think it would be a great pairing. Odds are that Hamrlik will be a teacher and very good defensively. Might get more PP time without Streit to show his offensive skill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QbGamer Posted September 9, 2008 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 Roman Hamrlik: Cap Hit: 5,500,000$. More than a few Canadiens’ fans cringed at Hamrlik 4-year deal last summer, but after one season not a single fan lamented his acquisition. Hamrlik scored 26 points in 77 games, ranked 4th in the league in blocked shots, and finished +7. He was the team’s most dependable defenseman in the playoffs, and a stabilizing force for younger guys in Josh Gorges and Ryan O’byrne, not to mention an older guy in Patrice Brisebois. Hamrlik showed a lot of passion about being a Montreal Canadien, a trait that has separated him as a fan-favorite on the team. Through all the positive, we’d all like to see Roman score a bit more, especially given Mark Streit’s absence from the lineup. A great year for Roman Hamrlik would be: Another top 5 finish in blocked shots, 10 goals, 30 assists, a + rating, over 20 minutes of ice-time/game, and at least 75 games played. It’s going to be tough for Hamrlik to stay as healthy as he ages, but seeing as how he’s played over 75 games the last two seasons, and has managed to not miss too many games throughout his career, it isn’t too much of a stretch. Forty points is certainly attainable, and the physical edge he showed in the playoffs will be expected from him on a nightly basis. Anything less than 65 games, 25 points, and a - rating would be a disappointment for Roman Hamrlik. http://www.hockeybuzz.com/blog.php?post_id...p;blogger_id=82 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leafs_rock_go_mccabe Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 STOP!!!! Hammer Time! "Can't touch this!" What a great, great signing for Montreal. I'm fully expecting Hamrlik to be a stable force on our blueline again this season. Hopefully he puts up a few more points this season, too. Perhaps he will see some more PP time!

Mauro-Biello Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 I like how his legs are positionned but I wish I had a pic where his center of gravity is lower with one hand otuching the ground. If anyone finds one please make an image macro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

s-k-11 Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 I want more offensive production from Hammer this year, in the range of 35-40 points. we need him to be more offensive because apart from markov and brisebois i dont see any other offensive defencemen and brisebois wont be playing every night.

fourtrax Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 we need him to be more offensive because apart from markov and brisebois i dont see any other offensive defencemen and brisebois wont be playing every night. Agreed. We are a bit short on offense at the D position. On the power play, it shouldn't be an issue, because we can always play a forward at the point -- which is essentially what Streit was, since he played forward at even strength -- but the rest of the time, I don't see much offense from backend beyond Markov and Brisebois, and like you said, Breezer isn't going to be playing every night (in fact, he probably won't play much at all unless injury strikes). This is where Hamrlik needs to step up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

habsfan512 Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 Hopefully they heal real well before returning to the lineup - less chance of re-injury Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leafsbaby08 Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 older guys not in as good a shape as it first seemed from the weekend reports maybe ? could be. but then again laraque has obviously been working in the offseason as he lost weight. i personally think groin injuries can often be contributed to improper stretching techniques before and after games and workouts. they can be prevented. as for hamrlik i don't know, you never really hear anything about him until game 1 of the regular season.

Liu-Kang Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 Considering some of the deals that are flyign around the league this year (Finger in TO for example), his contract will be a steal if he continues to play as well as he did last year.

go_leafs_go11 Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 His rock solid defensive presence is heavily relied upon. If he goes down for any significant period of time it will be devastating. Fortunately I've been hearing it is a minor pull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulin98C Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 Hamrlik was a disapointment last night, I know its only pre-season, but the bruins 1st could of easily been stop. Weber did all he can taking one man and even pointing at Hamrlik to take the other. Hamrlik did hussle back at all leaving a great setup to easily beat Halak on a 2 on 1. His passing wasn't great as well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
