I paid close attention to Roy during the last camp.
Anderson’s one trick is getting a pass in his own zone, accelerating and flying around the D to the net for a shot. I used to be really impressed, he’s quite a specimen.. In a system where players are asked to make reads and react, he has looked completely lost for a long time now and quite consistently. It’s like he has no anticipation or ability to improvise.
Evans is not fine. He doesn't help anyone progress. He is the definition of mediocre and staying out of PO for years.
I think you should take a look around the league.
Completely disagree , respectfully
I don't want typical in his role. We are the CH Habs, most Cups won in the NHL history. We need best players at each position. We can't win anything with average/typical. Cup winners are better than "typical".
I’m good with Sidney Crosby on the 4th line too…
You must be right, there's nobody between Evans and Crosby, lol. Never heard of Brian Skrudland?
Crosby not a 4th liner? But that's what you wrote previously.
If you're going to use a counter example, then use a 4th liner.Crosby not a 4th liner? But that's what you wrote previously.
You are god so I take your worrd. I am nothing but a small worrm comparred to you my grrand master.
Evans is at cross roads this end of season 24-25. So HuGo will let him walk, trade him or resign him. He is playing for ridiculous low price now. A bargain deal by "Bargainbin" Bergevin. I mean, it's fine for what he's done so far, for that price. But my point is to not have the best production/money by all accounts. I want Habs to have a better 4th center because some prospects start playing on the 4th line or the 3rd. Actually the 3rd center is Dvorak and the 4th C is Evans. They both aren't good to developp wingers. The best 4th lines I saw in my hockey fan life are those who plays a physical game, in your face. The opposite team is happy their shift is over and long term opposite teams make mistakes and are tired, physicly and mentally. This is the typical 4th line that I like and usually this is a winning combinaison.
I think Beck is very likely our 3rd line guy going forward. I can see Roy and Newhook as a strong third line in the future (although Roy may wind up in the top six long term.)
Doug Risebrough had some good years during the 1976-79 dynasty. Would have been third liner on typical teams.
I can recognize Evans’ skillset and affirm I would prefer a player with some standout skill, someone usefull in specific situations (not “can fill the role”, but have a positive impact). He looks fun to play against. And He will def not make any rookies like Roy better, or anyone. I hate hab bottom 6, pk sucks, soft as heck and not a single one is better than opposition on the ice situationally.
same. I’d feel safe icing kittens holding some near extinct unhatched exotic bird eggs against this guy. And no goalie.
Those 70s clubs could never be kept together today. Look at other team’s 4ths now. A lot are going to look like Jake Evans. Some might be a little better and some will be worse. He’s fine for what he does.
