Nobody does, nobody does. One hit wonder.
Can Montembault be a one hit wonder at best on best?
Are we in Canada paranoid about 2026 or should we not be worried?

He was great at the world championships, would be my pick if he's even average in the NHL.

Watched SJ v Chicago tonight, Bedard has taken his game to another level. Draws 4 man coverage in transition nearly every rush and opens up soooo much space for Foligno and Teravainen.
Perhaps this is just the TSN content machine trying to generate clicks but there have been some suggestions it’s too early for him and he shouldn’t make the team; I would honestly see his omission as a near Crosby in 2006 level mistake, he’s a top 30 (perhaps even higher) player in the league right now with one of the worst rosters around him. Play driving, vision, and deception all at an elite level

I'm confident he will be on the team and he will be eased in as the games go on.
What;s the format for that thing anyway?, I'm going to have to go check on that.

LOL. A 4 team exhibition tourney in lieu of the usual February All Star boring crap. The correct answer is does it really matter? It shouldn't be anything more than tryouts for the Olympic team.

I just meant I have not seen you in a while.
The forum lost its "grumpy old man" smell without you. Glad you are back to remedy that.

Lafreniere is at 5 points in 4 games. I haven't seen the Rangers games myself other than seeing Laf's nice goal against the Pens but I'd say that's a pretty good start anyway. Considering a year ago people thought he was a bust. I didn't, I saw him as a guy still waiting to hit his stride.

He sure was frustrating early in his career. Now, we just need to get QB going.

Oct 19, 2024 :
* Drake Batherson having a wonderful start to the season - 2 goals, today - 6 points in 5 games.
* Logan Stankoven with 2 assists, today. Calder anyone?
* LAF with an early goal.
* Sam Reinhart is on fire!
* Sam Bennett is also on fire - just not as hot.
* Jake Neighbours, one of my personal faves, with his 2nd goal.
* Dylan Holloway, after a slow start (his wallet is weighing him down), with a goal. He also has an assist.
* Is Jordan Eberle having a career(esk) year with 5 goals and 7 points in 6 games?
* Tom Wilson with the strong start - but no one would ever consider putting T.W. on Team Canada.
Wilson had 2 goals and an assist, tonight.
* Logan Mailloux with his first goal - but no one would ever consider putting L.M. on Team Canada.
In 2 games, LM has one goal and one assist.
Negatives :
* Matt Barzal is not playing well.
* Dawson Mercer.

LAF has 3 goals and 3 assists in 5 games with next to NO power play time.
What would his stats be WITH PP time? - something all the best players enjoy / thrive off.

Count me as one of those guys who thought he was a bust. I know how he was being used by the rangers but when i watched him play in his first few years aside from glimpses here and there he never showed he was really worthy of being used differently IMO. Glad to see he is proving a lot of people including me were off about him.
Having said that, he still isn't what you would call a star yet, but the bust talk days are now dead, I'll take that, he's turned into a real good player.
I've never been his biggest fan, he doesn't push things, too passive with his gifts.
To me, more impressive as a physical specimen then as a hockey player so far. Still very young though.......maybe he pulls a Tage Thompson here in the next couple of years.

If you ask me, any player from the oilers that was being considered for the team is suspect right now. Now obviously Mcdavid doesn't have to worry but even he needs to pull up his f***ing socks.

Far too little production from a guy with that much talent. He very much can do better, not sure what his problem is.

He’s far ahead of where Thompson was at the same age, but I agree, I’ve always been dissapointed by him. For someone who drew draft year comparisons to Malkin and is probably the best skating big forward in the league, he lacks the « bite » and « dawg » to his game that could take him right to the top. Thought he had a bang average 2021 WJC and none of his playoff performances since havé showed that he can perform in high leverage situations like the upcoming tournaments
