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

[MadMslm]

How we looking folks. Who's been impressive and who's been disappointing?

Dobes and Beck are probably the best two players for this team tonight.

Reinbacher had a good performance with a few mistakes.

Trudeau has been looking good, especially while moving with the puck.

Tourigny got on the scoresheet twice, but his game is all over the place.

Heineman has been ok, same for Roy. Other than them, I liked Mysak, Simoneau and Parker-Jones.

 

[Team_Spirit]

And the crowd cheers

The Habs fan went to buy another beer

 

[Rapala]

Mailloux needs reps and playing less than 100 OHL games really shows. He needs 1-2 years of AHL hockey, maybe even some ECHL hockey.

Hopefully Struble can help settle him down a bit. Ortiz is not the guy he needs to be paired with.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Maybe the Habs can use that break to refocus and get out there and attack, attack, attack. You've made some mistakes, so just play now and if you make more, so be it this guy is almost out of hand.


Looks like Tourigny has 1g 1a tonight

 

[DavePeak]

All right, time for the fourth quarter

 

[HabSgt]

"That divider is sliding down so smooth now..."

Divider jams, has to be pulled back up. Even Sabretooth is giving up now.

 

[A55P2]

What's clear is that Lane Hutson is way above the skill level of any of our other prospects, not even close.

 

[Player 61]

Like some work op from from Heineman-Beck.. Trudeau showed up. Simonneau top grades. , I like that Dobes is Hasek style Goalie, . The Defence was dissapointing Mailloix shows that he should be back in CHL.. (Sigh) a lot of these Guys showed why they are not NHL, I like that Beck seems like a larger Mike Keane.. Mailloux did not Impress, slow....

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Simmoneau has been solid. Honestly could have a case for best forward.

 

[Redux91]

Yeah
Mailloux needs a lot of work
Reinbacher is already better at 18

 

[Goldenhands]

Mailloux trying to carry the puck up ice, didnt generate enough speed, turnover, 2 vs 1.

 

[Rapala]

Parker Jones has a chance to make a decent 4th liner.

 

[Tyson]

Mailloux trying to carry the puck up ice, didnt generate enough speed, turnover, 2 vs 1.

He needs reps

 

[LaP]

Parker-Jones looks like a guy with a good hockey head and absolutely no skills whatsoever.

 

[MarkJ]

did Bettman tell Mailloux to suck?

 

[HabzSauce]

Dobes honestly reminds me of price haha

He kinda looks and plays like him. And he's big.

 

[Tyson]

Parker Jones has a chance to make a decent 4th liner.

Hopefully he worked on his fighting skills because for a big guy he can't throw em real well.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Trudeau
Tourigny
Demin

Top 3 d for the Habs this game

 

[Player 61]

Dobes honestly reminds me of price haha

He kinda looks and plays like him. And he's big.

Dobes reminds me more Hasek or Halak no defence pads legs eeverywhere to make the stops! Athletic Goalie, ( I Like That!)

 

[jrom]

If I was a bottom pairing D on a rookie tournament, I’d try to settle down those 5’9 forwards rushing the net like they’re Lucic.

 

[Tyson]

Our forward prospects are not remotely at the same level as Buffalo.

 

[Habs]

first round superstar Bustbacher , has been pretty invisible.

 

[HabSgt]

This is just a scramblefest since the glass change.

#thankssabretooth

 

[Goldenhands]

As expected, the small line doesnt work at all, people wonder why you cant draft them all small... Imagine ending up with Cooley and Benson last 2 drafts...

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

first round superstar Bustbacher , has been pretty invisible.

Yeah, not really impressive overall. At times he's looked good, but overall more underwhelming.

A not the best shot, then didn't quite get back and almost allowed a breakaway. Maybe he got a piece of the pass, hard to tell, but not a good game for the two more promising dmen the Habs have here in Reinbacher and Mailloux
