Prospect Info: [2024 - 21st] Michael Hage, Chicago Steel (USHL), Committed to U of Michigan

[McGuires Corndog]

Defensive commitment and being harder on his man, stronger on the puck.

But yeah, when he's got the puck on his stick, he's so rangy and skilled.

I should have him take some lessons from my wife

Nieds did for sure, so did Nick Lidstrom and of course.. Bobby Orr, on those old awful skates with no support.. incredible. I'm always in awe of the old timers in that awful gear, who look wonderful even by today's standards.

Apparently Orr skated barefoot in his skates.

Bobby Orr is the most talented player ever with Mario Lemieux.

Yes more than Gretzky and Mcdavid

I have seen all the great skaters of their respective times since the mid 1950's: Hull, Keon, Cournoyer, Orr, Perreault, Niedermayer, Gartner, Fedorov, Bure, etc. The best skater I ever saw was Coffey. I never thought I would live to see a better skater than him. Then I saw McDavid skate. And it's not even close. All I can say boys and girls is: if there's ever a better skater than McDavid, let's all hope and pray that he plays for the Canadiens.

Who is best skater you ever seen on Habs?

In my long history of following the Canadiens these are the players who I believe were the team's 'best' skaters, both of their respective eras and irrespective of their eras: Cournoyer, Gainey, Malakhov and Richer.

Honourable Mention (at their peak) : Backstrom, Lafleur, Robinson, Chelios, Courtnall, Petry, Matheson.

Just my opinion.

Murray Wilson was fast skater
