Shane Wright 2.0

Shane Wright's still real to me dammit!

Bobby Brink is such a weird hockey name

pass.

How dare you sir! His name is literally Bobby Orr Brink.

Something about a truck passing through seems to fit

 

[Redux91]

Pretty much just me and @Mrb1p the rest of you are all cringe normies who have yet to be Brink pilled.

Ah!
So which Flyers jersey you buying? The orange one? Or that great black one?
I wonder what name will be on the back?
I thought it was gonna be Michkov but..

Jersey? We're talking a full back tattoo of gritty wearing Brink's #10.

 

[ReHabs]

Wow.

I can’t imagine how good Reinbacher should be if it’ll make up for the Habs skipping on this sorta Michkov talent

Yeah it's easy to question after the fact but damn the 1st two drafts of the Hughes era are not looking real good.

No, the 2022 and 2023 drafts are looking not-yet-determined.

For sure but I am not optimistic with the exception of maybe Hutson so far.

Reinbacher did good in his first game back from injury. He's doing good, the problem is that Michkov is doing great.

Yeah with 3 young RD prospects maybe we can draft another one in 2024

Nobody said the book is closed, but the impression isn’t good. And it’s largely due to Slafkovsky’s insignificant growth over his D0-D2 period and Michkov’s sky high performance, defying even expectations.

It was very Caufield-like.

Fowler looks like a good one too, although you never know with goalies.

I'll always maintain that Slafkovsky was a legitimate choice in 2022. If the rushing busts him, so be it.

The Habs are the only team with a top 2022 draft pick to have rushed the player.

This is the most glaring issue regarding Slaf.

 

[DAChampion]

Really regarding the Habs.

Nemec, Cooley, Wright, Jiricek, Gauthier, Mintyukov, none of those guys were rushed.

What was this management group thinking by rushing this kid? Damn

I think they tried to galaxy brain Slaf's development.

 

[George Lebay]

The way Mitchkov is celebrating his goals makes me think he’s a selfish POS and a locker room cancer.

 

[Heffyhoof]

Arber ended another goon

Enjoy the wino Reavo ~~~

Only a Leafs general manager would think it's a genius idea to finally get Reaves 5-6 years late, and play him 8-9 minutes a game thinking that'll solve the toughness issue.

 

[DAChampion]

The toughness issue with the Leafs is with Matthews.

 

[ReHabs]

The toughness issue with the Leafs is with Matthews.

I find this is the situation whenever people claim “toughness” is an issue. It’s often with the pillars of the team. If they can eat hits and sufficiently engage in physical play the team doesn’t suffer a toughness issue.

How it relates to the Habs is, of course, Caufield and Hutson. They’re too small to dish anything out. So it makes for a kinda perilous situation with a low ceiling of potential physical engagement.
