He saved Engstrom' behind quite a few times, especially in the first. Needs to work on his processing speed offensively though, he gets himself in situations with no space or options.

He didn't stand out in the fist game, he played scared. He needs to gain confidence.
Yup Adam put him on the spot a number of times.
I'd actually switch up the pairings tomorrow to see what that ends up looking like.

His stride is really short I felt compared to a guy like Mailloux… Kid is 19 so yeaaaaars to get better.

He turns 20 next week but I didn't have any issues as these kind of games are just pickup hockey more or less.

Genuinely impressed with the back skating power he showed a couple times when I was able to watch in the 2nd. From the Leafs blue line all the way back he just kept accelerating and maintaining a perfect gap. Can only imagine where that kind of strength can go in a fully grown man
I was thinking the same on a few plays, he’s going to be incredibly difficult to get through. I think him and Guhle could end up being one of best shutdown duos in league one day. Not saying it’s the pairing they end up going with but you’ll see them on the PK and defending leads in the playoffs

watching him today makes me realize what an absolute disaster it was to pick him over Michkov
He isnt a bad player but getting that as the value at 5th overall is pathetic.

He has only had eleven AHL games, he has a lot more to adjust to then the rest of them at 20 years old, a full year in Laval is no big deal.
I became more convinced watching him play 11 intense games for Laval when they were fighting for their playoff lives.

I wanted him too but don't kick the stool out from under you just yet, it's a prospect game

Don't overreact just yet, I thought he looked great a couple weeks ago vs Team Slovakia, I was impressed and that's coming from someone that just has not been overly impressed at all with him.
I said let him go to Laval this year and work on things, give it time as he's got the size, mobility, two way game, so it's just a question of how can he put it all together.

So after Reinbacher got drafted he was the next Pronger and the #2 after Bedard meanwhile Michkov was an unmotivated bum that would never come to North America. But tonight picking him over Michkov was a disaster and he was horrible value at #5 huh? What made you change your mind? Couldn’t possibly be 1 rookie game right?
I think you should re-evaluate based on the hot takes from this prospect's game.
Yeah after reading everyone's posts in the GDT it is apparent that we have a prospect pool full of busts. How dare these kids show up to Camp, practice 2 whole times and play nervous in front of 20,000 people.I think you should re-evaluate based on the hot takes from this prospect's game.

Demidov is a HAB
The score would have been 10-0 if we switched goalies and this place would be planning the parade.

I was very wrong about Michkov wanting to stay in Russia. I thought he would be there for 5-6 years like Kaprizov and maybe Putin would pay him to stay longer..
Now i am admitting that I was wrong as were the Habs
I expected they would be disjointed out of the gate. Pascal Vincent said as much in his interview.
They opened the door and let them go which isn't a bad idea it's easy to see a player's base game that way.
It was obvious when they started to adjust to each other and I liked what he did in the third.
He made sure Beck was up against Minten and the puck was 200 ft from our goal for most of their shifts.
I'm going to re watch this one on RDS 2.
I've always felt it's easier and more accurate to evaluate stuff when the fan hat is off.

I hope the fans won't keep watching Michkov highlights, turn around and hate Reinbacher. It needs to stop already, I genuinely feel bad for the kid. He didn't ask for that and being spectacular was never part of his game.
Twitter and even the GDT here were bad today. Shameful.
