GDT: Preseason Game 3 - Laval Rocket+ vs Leafs 7PM EST Sportsnet & RDS

[Essenege]

Cowan is nothing special.

Don’t be such a homer! We’ll see but he looks good, fast, dynamic good vision

I heard on the radio the correct pronunciation of Barré-Boulet is with the sound "é" at the end. Maybe something related to the region his family comes from... But yea.

Really?
Weird.
Houde just called him Boulet not Boulé though.

Gross effort from some of the group right now. That lazy dump and go for a change kind of hockey.

Cut the lot of them.

It's not an effort issue. They're lacking experience and overwhelmed.

Armia needs another start in Laval.

I remember when people were panicking after like two shifts from Shane Wright in preseason. Maybe give these guys some time ?

 

[Redux91]

Johnny still wincing

Boo hoo

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Looks like Tavares will need his pyjamas tonight oh nyo

"Hutson choisi l'impulsion"

Houde is so eloquent. He'll be hard to replace when he retires.

Thankfully we have Félix Séguin @ TVA Spanre .

 

[expy]

f*** off Barron.

He is decent. Robertson is better.

Yeah, and I know fans love this. But in the NHL, it ain't the way to play all the time. You just can't do that all the time, every time. It screws up the systems (or the concepts) and it certainly destabilizes even his teammates. Hockey at that level is all about automatisms. When you have a player like Hudson who free wheels ALL THE TIME, it warps alot of concepts and systematic plays. Not sure he will be able to do that all the time at the pro level.

I know that it's not a popular opinion here, but I'm not convinced yet. He's exciting for sure. But in team concepts, not convinced yet.

Dude.. he's in his 4th pro game, playing 1st pair against one of the better offense in the league and not making out so bad.

I watched him play at BU and he was fully into the team system. Adaptation doesn't come automatically. Coaches will guide him to be more selective with time, but also to harness what Hutson brings that others can't. It's not just a matter of Hutson becoming accustomed to the game, but for his teammates to get accustomed to him. With time they'll pattern plays based on his proclivities as he's the most likely to be the best play driver on the team.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Barron with the Matheson special

 

[domiwroze]

Roy isn't doing anything to prove that he deserves a spot neither TBH

 

[Sagikev]

Hutson the goat

Hutson the goat

 

[xX SEYF Xx]

Hutson is incredible, no matter how many times he does it, always impresses me

 

[MD thaivuN]

We might be losing, but the Leafs are the ones hurting.

Another bottom 6 fodder

Quadruple shimmied some bum

 

[Canadienna]

Luke Tuch Sportsnet....not Alex.

And Hutson was a 2nd round pick not a 1st.

 

[Gravity]

Hutson best D on the ice by far

I do think the same. But it might not be as easy as you say in the big show.

 

[Stive Morgan]

I'm fine with spitting on the ice but spitting on the bench is gross wtf

 

[Redux91]

That's it Rein, better shift

 

[MasterD]

I want Luke Tuch on the 4th line this year, max next year.
