Player Discussion Jake Evans (Part II)

[Hins77]

I like the way he is playing. He thinks fast the game. Doesnt wait before to make a play. His feet always in movement, ceush the net always. Best Surprise of the year I would say

 

[No More Subban]

MB really ****ed up by signing Staal. Good thing is that Evans has a good attitude.

 

[canucklover123]

Kid was great tonight, good for him, took it in to his own hands after he got scratched.

 

[Et le But]

I don't think he has any more upside than what we see but he works hard and does a little bit of everything. Great game.

 

[Garnet76]

The best game I've seen Evans play in the NHL

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

His assist on the offside goal was filthy

 

[Paddy17]

His assist on the offside goal was filthy

Yeah, a little pass between the D's feet. Was a beauty

 

[superstar436]

I hope MB realizes that with Evans playing like this, he shouldn't give dano that 5-6 million salary.

Evans will give you very similar production and less stellar defence, at %20 of the cost.

But Evans doesn't speak french, Dano does, nervermind !

This is how you do it. If only a certain other young center could follow the example.

Every night Evans hustles and works hard. Is good defensively and has some touch.

He has played well and deserves more ice time. Book it, he just took KKs spot on opening night of the playoffs. It’s hard because we are talking a 7th rounder vs 3ova but at some point results and effort matter and should be rewarded.

 

[GlassesJacketShirt]

Terrific game from Evans.

With any luck he can be our Bryan Rust over time, as I do see some semblance of skill. Until then, a player to really like but not fall in love with.

You should worry about KK, not Danault.

 

[Stoneburg]

An underrated player.

It was a bad acquisition, by a GM that much more often than not is good in the bargain bin. So I don't have that big of a problem with Marc on this one - unless he's forcing DD to play him.

Which brings me to who I have a problem with - DD, for playing him. Staal belongs in the stands once the puck drops in the playoffs.

Jake the snake plays the game of hockey like a god damn Man

[Goal Caufield50]

Best forward on the Habs tonight. Great game Jake.
Dunno if he will even provide streaky offence, but is definitely an NHLer.
Evans and Lehkonen on the ice at the same time means 110% effort 110% of the time

Byron was great too

 

[Goal Caufield50]

So is KK.

With gally and danault back for the playoffs I expect Staal and Arminian to sit

With gally and danault back for the playoffs I expect Staal and Arminian to sit

I would love this.

 

[ChesterNimitz]

Byron was great too

Byron, Evans and Lek have one thing in common: they can skate and create. Their collective speed, and threat of same, takes pressure off our defence, as opposing teams are more hesitant to aggressively forecheck out of fear of being caught. How many other line's are able to create such hesitation?

If he would bring me some flowers and some jewelry anything can happen

 

[angusyoung]

We'll see, don't think so though.

 

[TouzY]

Evans is underrated

 

[BLONG7]

This kid has been fantastic since he returned to the lineup, for being taken out for Staal.
