1st pre season game....Great blocked shots but also a clear sign we were disorganised.

I thought he was fine in his rookie year. He had dog shit endurance and never really improved on that. I'm still not really impressed with him, he's just playing on a more skilled team. KK showed a higher IQ than Slaf did in his first year imo.KK was even worse imo. He made a few nice passes but he was wayyyy out of his element while also being physically underdeveloped
If he isn't making the basic simple plays he needs to be making he will be called out and rightly so.This market will eat Slaf alive. Poor kid.
Probably true but that's still good value, especially homegrownHarris is like a younger Kulak. Can eat minutes but not much else and will rotate from third pair to extra def
He looks that kid driving his honda civic at 11pm and make noiseRoy looks like he's straight out of Tetreaultville or Sorel.
The kid is worth the price of admission86 NJ ... hughes
I think it was just "Yes gros merci"Did Josh Roy just say "Yes le gros, merci!" To Marc?!

Never insult a Sorelois, you might end up swimming with concrete bootsRoy looks like he's straight out of Tetreaultville or Sorel.
I still remember when there was a controversy between Hughes and Kakko since Hughes was seen as a player who did not progress in his draft year and was not going to be a center because of his size and defensive deficiency. Even Gorton said that they are thrilled with the 2nd OA since they had the easiest pick in the draft.The kid is worth the price of admission
And he looked way better than Slafbustsky...KK was even worse imo. He made a few nice passes but he was wayyyy out of his element while also being physically underdeveloped
Don't forget the "forgotten 3"- Norlinder, Trudeau and Struble.The habs have too many good young D men. Something's gotta give.
Barron and Guhle looked great.
Mailloux has made massive strides since that game against Buffalo.
Reinbacher has every tool to be a top 3 d. Impressive for an 18 year old. That positioning is great. Wait until he adjusts to the nhl speed.
NorlinderDon't forget the "forgotten 3"- Norlinder, Trudeau and Struble.
And people were saying the same thing about Wright...and Reinbacher.This market will eat Slaf alive. Poor kid.
Was he supposed to say "I'm nervous as f this market and fan base are crazy, I really wanted Seattle. Guess I'm f'ed" ?He said himself that he was not nervous when drafted and liked the challenge. So be it. Play better and the fans wil cheer him. He should never have played in the NHL last year.
It’s unfortunate because if he were drafted 5th overall and went back to Europe/AHL for the season and put up the numbers I believe he would’ve we’d all be pumping his tires right now and pencilling him in with Suzuki/CaufieldSadly you have to blame management. Slaf oozes top 6 potential but rushing him was a asinine idea.
I know, I know...but as someone who watched over 70 Laval games last year I saw a marked improvement.Norlinder
I would argue that the play died on his stick 6 -7 time in the first frame but am low battery and my wife is about to confiscate my phone because it is not socialy allowed while attending a game... blehThe kid is worth the price of admission
I mean he knows what he is getting to .Was he supposed to say "I'm nervous as f this market and fan base are crazy, I really wanted Seattle. Guess I'm f'ed" ?
I think it was just "Yes gros merci"
I don't expect a total effort from any vet at this junctureI would argue that the play died on his stick 6 -7 time in the first frame but am low battery and my wife is about to confiscate my phone because it is not socialy allowed while attending a game... bleh
