So Laguta scored 16+1 yesterday and still no wild card.

 

At this point just take it up with Putin personally?I'm sure he'll rethink his actions if he knows they can't participate at the highest level in a sport he's never heard of!

It ain't happening, there's more chance of me bedding Dua Lipa then the Russians getting a call up while a war is on, move on.

He should definitely be in . World championships should include the best competitors. And he’s one of them no question

I'm not a fan of how they pick wild cards or reserves (free for all) so would rather the picks be based on:

Average GP score (if injured)

Next in line from GPs / qualifiers / SEC

Top scorer in SWC / SON

Highest average in Polish Extraliga

SGP2 Champ (reserve spot not wild card)

So I won't complain about Janowski as he was next in line in SEC (not fair for Aussies / Yanks though).

I can't say I'm too unhappy with Janowski. While he's hardly an inspired choice, and isn't the most exciting, he's no worse than Thomsen/Kvech/Michelsen, etc, etc. It's quite surprising how big the drop off is from Lindgren/Holder/Bewley to the 4th pick, usually there's some youngster or someone having an exceptional season that gets mentioned, but there's nothing out there.

At 24 Kvech is still a youngster in GP terms which would make him my preferred choice.

Janowski is old hat and way past his best, not a very inspiring pick at all.

Can't say I'm thrilled at all on this pick.....definitely "washed up" now for lack of a better definition.

All I can assume is Poland dug their spurs in someone and made it a Pole.

Imagine if somebody said to you in 2010 that Emil Sayfutdinov and Darcy Ward will never win a World Championship. 

You would have bet your life on that not happening.

We lost Darcy due to a tragic accident.

And Emil missed a few years as he was part of the SEC and he was being paid a lot of money, and now he is a victim of politics.

In another world, Emil and Ward would have multiple world titles.
