GDT: Game 43: Tues Jan 14th: Slaf @ Cooley, 9 PM | TSN2, RDS

[Jurivan Demidovsky]

Cooley is actually noticeable unlike Slaf.

What do you mean, I just noticed a player go right by Slaf..

 

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

It would be a legit concern. But yeah, maybe Cooley was the right guy. We’ll see. I’m happy with Slaf but ask me again in a couple of years and I might give a different answer.

Hutson will be the best player on that draft though.

Im ok with Slaf long as it fits the team and leads to success. It wont be just points, be team make up and size is definitely an element

3 ASSISTS FOR HUTSON!!!

 

[Tanknation]

Cooley may not be as big as Slaf but has twice the skill and skating.

 

[Habssince89]

Hutson really changes everything. Even if we had Demidov this year, without Hutson we'd be having a hard year

 

[Max2]

Cooley got slapped around there pretty good.Bit of a figure skater

 

[JustAHabFan]

Hutson is already legit my favorite Hab.

He is just thinking the game at a another level. What a stud.

 

[GrandBison]

Happy the Habs didnt draft Cooley. Too confusing with Guhle for Pierre

Hutson really changes everything. Even if we had Demidov this year, without Hutson we'd be having a hard year

 

[The Great Weal]

Pezz has less than 4 minutes of ice time again. Enough's enough; management needs to call someone up. Playing with 11 forwards hurts your "in the mix" chances. It also ruins chemistry and builds fatigue.

 

[domiwroze]

Slaf has to learn to be proactive. He's no Suzuki and has to accept the fact and start moving his feet again. It simple but there's a blocage for some reason

As I said at draft day, talent was no contest for Cooley. Safe was Wright. Risk vs reward = Slaf. I would have taken Cooley too. But Slaf should develop into something. My only huge concern will always be how fast can he process the game. That will never be a problem for Cooley.

 

[The Real Timo]

Didn't you hear. Slaf is too hard on himself.

 

[Zorro]

a nice backhander from gally would have been better

Indeed, having a much better game tonight and creating a lot of chances for them.

He’s shown flashes of being a truly great player. He’s got skill. Hopefully he can find some more consistency. The talent is there.

 

[Non Player Canadiens]

Caufield 46G pace, nbd nbd.

 

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

Gallagher has an amazing knack for making a rush even less dangerous

HUTSON: 20 PTS IN HIS LAST 19 GAMES

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

The second he took that 2 min you know he was done lol

 

[Andrei79]

People really need to get over the fact that the team isn't perfect at the draft. No team is. The important thing is to come out with a great player and sometimes a gem. They did that with Slaf and Hutson.

 

[Whitesnake]

Slaf SAYS that he has to move his feet...but doesn't do it. Why? Cause a lot of time he has no idea where his feet should be going....and that's an issue.

 

[Lshap]

Utah pushing hard.... let's see if the Habs can keep their composure and not take anymore penalties.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Pezz is benched for 3rd. 4th line will be interesting.

 

[Milhouse40]

He's already a superstar

Makar
Hughes
Hutson

That's the order.

Despites the many good D to wear the Habs jersey, Hutson is the best offensive and dynamic D I've seen in my lifetime to wear that jersey.

Sorry Subban, Sorry Markov but this kid is on another level.
