Alexander Bilecki

Rasmus Sandin, though, is wearing his over top of his dress shirt.

And I, as a joke... took the screenshot of this and go Rasmus Sandin a layering king and it was liked by his own dad which stand by I'll stand by saying that there's nothing wrong with what I said I called him a layering king and it's a true fact because he was wearing layers of clothing his father just also happened to see it I've had Alexander Bilecki's mom like a quote tweet of an article that I wrote that featured her son our CHL players of the year that I do every year with Casey and Cody, the OHL, my quote tweet of our OHL one that had Andrew Bilecki in as our Rangers pick, our Rangers pick, it was Cody's Rangers pick, but we all were like, yeah, this is, yeah, this makes sense.

Was liked by his mom.

Like, There's nothing

This is the proof is in the pudding.

Luca Romano and Alexander Bilecki were integral on this play to get the puck back and fight and try and get it in, and had chances themselves, and then they got the puck back, and there was a, a shot that was tipped by Weston Cameron from Romano.

It was an awesome play [smacks lips] and, uh, it was a never give up play, and I think that's what this, this team is about.

And, and then again, it happens again.

There's a crazy sequence in overtime with Tanner Lamb and Alexander Bilecki, the usual suspects who are digging and pushing and trying to get the puck in down low around the net, and then Bilecki ...

Unbelievable vision on this kid.

Unbelievable vision on it.

Yeah.

Honestly, I think a lot of picks outside of Gavin McKenna worked out pretty well.

I know they drafted one of your players over there in Kitchener, who's supposed to be pretty good, and Alexander Bilecki.

That was the Scott Lawton pick.

That was the third that upgraded to a second.

The AHL called a cup.

And then, yeah, Kitchener Rangers, shout out my hometown, my first ever favorite team.

go on a miraculous run after not getting the 2027 Memorial Cup that instead gets hosted by the Guelph Storm they decide we're going to go all in and they they do they go to Kelowna and they win the Memorial Cup and then the Leafs draft one of their their best young defensemen yeah like you said Alexander Bilecki and uh he's looked pretty good at camp he's gone back to OHL now but yeah very very excited for him I was really hoping the Leafs would draft him and Going from picking first overall to picking 60th as their next pick, getting Gavin McKenna and Alexander Bilecki is pretty good.

I'm excited for him and they seem like they sort of get along pretty well too after the draft and all that.

I thought five on five, the defense was smothering.

Obviously, we don't have Bilecki back right yet, but I'm sure I mean, I hope for his sake, he just goes off and and, you know, succeeds.

But I'm hoping he's back.

selfishly, because I think that then we'll have this crazy two headed monster of puck moving defenseman with Alex Forrest and Alexander Bilecki probably on separate lines because they're such they've got similar skill set.

And then if you have Gombar on another line or or a complimentary defense, Then you've got to me, you've got three offensive defensemen on every line.

And then you've got, of course, you've got, you know, options to slot in big physical guys who take away the shooting lanes and smother guys along the boards, which they did really well in that second game.

They got a couple guys returning, and then their decor is solid.

Like, a couple NHL draft picks, Andrew McNeil, Montreal's 2025 sixth-round pick, and then Alexander Bilecki.

toronto's 2026 second round pick just some solid guys on their decor i mean they're goaltending i'm not too high on it obviously jason shawble is gonna have to carry the load but i mean you know i don't i don't hate this roster whatsoever yeah

and i'll kind of move on here for um the third place team i have the eriotters um Obviously, kind of a team that had to build this year.

It's a play against grown men.

Also in tier 3, Alexander Bilecki.

Nerds love this pick.

60th overall in the second round this past draft.

and so on and so forth.

The Harkiv School, the so-called Harkiv School of Alexander Bilecki, taking an experience of Alexander Potemnya, about whom we will talk later, they developed a very original theory of the reader, which tried to combine psychological static with different other non-literary dimensions like social analysis and so on and so forth.

And those who were in Kyiv, like Mykola Zerev and other members of Kyiv Neoclassicists, they were in a sense more conservative in what they tried to do.

And they operated more within the concept of the style of the era.

So basically they argued for the autonomy of literature and not trying to divide it from other different series, as they called it, like psychological, social, political, ethnographic, and so on and so forth.

So, of course, they argued with this very psychological dimension of Potemnya's theory.

But for Kharkiv school and Alexander Bilecki, coming back to Bilecki, they found that what Potemnya did and wrote was that could be the foundation for thinking about the literary revolution as such.

And as Putivnya in that same work already, Thought and Language, 1862, he also wrote about the openness and unfinished literary work.

Um, anyways, we talked about two of the premier forwards from this weekend.

Let's talk about one defenseman who stood out from, uh, one of the teams we haven't mentioned yet from that tournament in Gatineau, the Toronto Maple Leafs, um, Alexander Bilecki, um, obviously with the Kitchener Rangers, had a great run with them all the way to the Memorial Cup last year.

Um, he was, he had a solid outing for the Maple Leafs, Maple Leafs this weekend.

I still think his defensive details need a bit of work, um, but he did show a little bit more offensive prowess than I think people are used to really seeing from him.

This to me was one of the most fascinating things, uh, a little bit of a sidebar here.

About last year was that that trade that brought Sam O'Reilly and Jared Woolley ... or trades, uh, I can't remember if it was one or two, uh, from London to Kitchener, that managed to boost the draft stock of a defenseman on both teams.

Because Alexander Bilecki got slotted, you know, further down the lineup in Kitchener, but that allowed him to learn from Woolley and then Andonoski, whereas Woolley leaving London meant that Maxim Sokolovsky, who ended up being a first-rounder for Philly, got more ice time.

So somehow Jared Woolley, uh, benefited two different players on two different teams.

Least prospects have set out.

You have Vinny Borghese, Harry, Nancy, Cooper Williams, and Alexander Bilecki.

And obviously, Luke Hames.

We're kind of underselling him a little bit.
