GDT: Rookie Tournament: Canadiens vs. Sabres (7PM ET on RDS.ca & YouTube)

[Team_Spirit]

How many busts so far, guys ? 1 period is enough to predict a whole career, HfHabs changed...

Savoie, Benson, Rosen & Kulich confirmed busts.

 

[Rapala]

He is one of those players where height won't matter. He fought a player last year that was at least 6'4 and more than held his own. That kid has some serious toughness. I wouldn't underestimate him because of his height.

Fire Hydrant was used to describe him more than once. Something I hope Farrell can emulate.

 

[Tyson]

Based on what I saw from Farrell and Simoneau last season, Simoneau is the one who deserved 6 NHL games.

 

[Rapala]

Tokébec icitte, en français, s'il vous plait.

Thks I was looking for this link earlier.

 

[CharleyHorse]

If they lose tonight, that's it. Season over. We're not making da playoffs!

Not necessarily, if it's a moral victory, I wouldn't completely rule out our chances of securing a playoff spot

 

[Jee]

Reine-bareur and Dobèche are looking good

 

[Tyson]

Fire Hydrant was used to describe him more than once. Something I hope Farrell can emulate.

Farrell doesn't have the toughness or strength to emulate Simoneau.

 

[SlafySZN]

Beck and Reinbacher are the best habs player so far imo.

Think Roy is overhyped. (Not based only on tonight obviously.

And Dobes

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

Mailloux has some issues in his end but the aggressiveness and willingness to play physical is nice to see

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Sean Farrell should be much, much, much better than he was in the first.

It's only 1 period in a prospect tournament, but what I've seen from him in the NHL there isn't high hopes.

However, being smaller and on a bad team, I'll give him a chance, but if he becomes nothing I won't be too upset.

Habs need to get more prospects that look good in Europe, CHL, NCAA, etc and use them in a package to get established NHLers.

 

[Rapala]

Yep. Between 1st and 2nd.

This shit is Mickey Mouse compared to the Devils transmisiion.

 

[EveryDay]

Liked Davidson in the 1st.

 

[MadMslm]

Mailloux has some issues in his end but the aggressiveness and willingness to play physical is nice to see

Something I wish Kovacevic or Barron would do more. They barely use their size to punish the opponents.

Mailloux gave a couple of cross checks, and slowed the play on the board on that pk by giving himself space.

 

[Antiillafire]

Savoie is a terrific skater and very toolsy but geez the kid plays almost exclusively on the perimeter. You can see why that works in junior where he can simply out skate and “out skill” players at a much lower level then him. Will be interesting how he translates to the pro game.

 

[Tyson]

Seen this Power Play before

 

[OnTheRun]

"I know this PP..." moment.

 

[MadMslm]

Good on Mailloux for stopping that pass and taking the body on the board.

 

[KevSkillz4]

Reinbacher have a really good offensive instinct. Don't sleep on his part of game, he will surprise a lot of people with his offensive !

 

[Redux91]

Not a great shift for Benson really

 

[MadMslm]

I think Mysak is having a good game till now

 

[sansabri]

saaaaave

 

[Redux91]

Big save, shoulda been offside

 

[Tyson]

Jakub getting it done

 

[EveryDay]

Roy looks really slow so far....
