Montreal & Ottawa (7:30 PM) - Sept. 25

[L'Aveuglette]

I hope Pageau knows he won't be doing much tonight on the 4th line with those two....

 

[Back in Black]

Is this game also on Rogers 22?

The TV schedule say's no. Hoping it's wrong, or I'm streamin' it!

Wouldn't it be funny if pageau turned kassian and neil into goal scorers.

A man can only dream.

 

[L'Aveuglette]

So Pageau's four points in nine games count for consistency?
Forget the hometown bias, Pageau simply is not that good. He MIGHT be a 40-point player. MIGHT be. Da Costa, if he plays the ice time and roles needed for a skill player of his type, has the potential to be a Top Six forward, it's unfortunate that MacLean doesn't see his potential.

Are you high?

Pageau has only impressed since his debut with the big club. Are you predicting the future by making such assumptions because it's the ONLY way you can say that at this point.

It would be a miracle.

I don't understand how a player's consistency can be judged based on one late-season call-up and playoff.

For example, Corey Conacher was an absolute beast in the first thirty-or-so games of his rookie year for Tampa. Came to Ottawa, didn't impress.

I'm not saying Da Costa will be a top six forward, he's quite slow and lacks strength and speed. But you can't deny that his hands, especially on a powerplay, could be deadly.

People are excited about how he plays, not that he puts up points. He's always played the same way, hard, fast, and with hockey sense.

For example, Corey Conacher was an absolute beast in the first thirty-or-so games of his rookie year for Tampa. Came to Ottawa, didn't impress.

Whether he was an absolute beast is what Tampa Bay fans know, we only know of the badger's play with us. A lot of his qualities are endearing and he was important in the playoffs.

We've tried, it resulted him going back down to Bingo. This year could be different though.

The difference, as Paul MacLean said of Pageau, is that "he plays the game right." Da Costa has a great shot and is an offensive threat, but he is also prone to boneheaded plays. Conacher is quick but he does not consistently use his assets to the fullest. The reason many people are so high on Pageau is that there is nothing to suggest he will drop off from his current level of play, simply because he is smart and is always in position. I think a coach can live with under 40 points on a bottom 6 forward who is always in the right spot and who drives the play. My feeling is that he has the potential to be in the 50-60 point range if he can mange to make it up to the second line in future seasons.

I just get frustrated because I see Da Costa as the kind of player that the Sens will let slip away, and then sure enough he'll blossom into a 50+ point player. He could be a real asset on the powerplay. He's ultra-skilled with the puck. He doesn't have the speed to be a first-liner, but I seriously do think he could be a 2nd- or 3rd-liner on an NHL team.

Since it's on GCL, and usually every feed as been in English, I presume there should be an English stream as well somwhere (if main is streaming, it should be English).

Well it's good then that MacLean and Murray will be making that decision.

 

[Berserker*]

I see player 61 will be playing. Head up Habs forwards!

Thanks.

I'm on Rogers TV now and an ad just came on for the game tonight. Awesome.

 

[Tundraman]

An RDS pundit really pumped EK. Showed he was best D in the NHL 2 seasons ago and last season before his injury was thought of as the best player in the NHL.

I mean no disrespect. I just don't speak french.

I am using firstrowsports and all their streams for the game are in french.

You poor, poor thing. How will you ever be able to cope?

He could definitely be an NHL player on another team. He is caught in the numbers game here, and I don't see a way out aside from trading him. Work case scenario is that we lose him on the waiver wire, which would be brutal.

Crap, how come the pastebin for the VLC version of GCL got deleted. I wanted to check if it would work.

 

[Carrie Underwood]

any one gots an english stream?

They are rookies of course they are inconsistent. Pageau so far hasn't really had any inconsistent periods. He will of course but comparing DaCosta to Pageau you must be kidding.

 

[L'Aveuglette]

Really excited to see Da Costa on the first line tonight. Pretty much his best chance to shine, and I think he will.

 

[StefanW]

Thanks.

Is that channel 22 or one of the high def ones? I think I would rather watch it in French with high def than in English with a small screen. Play by play guys annoy me anyways.
