He had a nice backhand goal and an empty net goal. Not to mention 2 assists and he played excellent on the PK tonight(nearly scored on a short handed break away).
By far the best skater for Canada tonight.

Fixed that for you

Mr. Objectivity
Anybody else having a hard time pronouncing his name quickly?
I just say Josh Wawa instead of Joshua Roy.
That was your stupid random thought for the evening.

Really? You would be happy with 3 first round pics including a 1st OA and probably a top 10 in Dvorsky to become 3rd liners?
You serious?

Roy remind me of Chris Higgins. A guy that can chip in with some offense on a third line that is very good on defensive mission. His role in Sherbrooke is not a good reference to gauge his NHL utility. Could play on a second line if team needs it. Not fast but smart.
I see Ferrell with more upside too. More speed, more skill, more hockey IQ. TOP 6.

Habs were wise to pick Joshua Roy that far in the draft. But it’s hard to believe that we actually drafted Dmitri Kostenko and Daniil Sobolev BEFORE him...
I had him ranked #1 Habs prospect in early 2022 and still do today. A player this skilled and this smart will succeed in the NHL.

His skating isn't the prettiest but he made Luke Hughes look like an idiot more than once this game.
Outside of skating, every red flag he had at the draft also happened to be the things he's best at here. Outstanding motor and board presence.

No I didn’t mean 0 nhl games, I meant it more as in becomes nhl regular. Pretty sure they all get games

He's in the top 3 PKer in the CHL. The sequence earlier in the game when he did like 5 takeaways, is typical Joshua.
100%.
He’s going to be a player, I think that much is evident at this point. Now it’s just a matter of determining how much of a detriment his skating will or won’t be. I think we have the right team to work with him on that, and surround him with great young players to help him grow.
I see a potential top-6 guy here.
Had the Habs not drafted him, I suspect Roy wouldn't have been drafted at all. He didn't look like a guy who was interested in being a pro player in his D-1 (out of shape, lacked motivation) and his draft year was the Covid shortened/cut one where he only turned it around after being traded to Sherbrooke when travel restrictions were in place.
The Habs made the gamble that his "turn around" was real and not just temporary.
Even in french I have to say I change accents half way
edit - I did not know him beyond his stats, he has no hang ups about playing with talent and I really like his game.

Boy, are you going to be surprised in two, three years.
What totally blew my mind was the interview Roy gave in the second intermission. He said he never played PK before. Really! Roy is going to surprise a lot of people. This kid has elite hockey IQ. His skating can stand a little improvement but thankfully he is being monitored by Hugo's team and not Bergevin's. According to many of you, our development team has improved immensely. Let's see if that's true.
Farrell is also a high IQ player. I’d say pretty comparable.
Farrell is faster and a better passer but Roy’s shot is better.
Both have top-6 potential, IMO.

He's playing really well but I mean we all know what the guy can do against kids around his age group. The question was always if his game is NHL translatable.
Happy to see him buzzing tho the guy is working hard and making things happen all over the ice and on the PK too

He’s showing a lot of good traits that translate well to the NHL. IQ, positioning, shot, willingness to engage physically, relentless puck pursuit.
People that have followed him know this already, but he’s showing it at the highest possible level he can right now.
It doesn’t guarantee anything, but it helps us affirm our position that he’s a pretty good prospect.
Ummm didn’t he say he actually never played PK before???
