Yaaawn

Almost fell asleep

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

I’m getting some solid bust vibes from this kid

Mailloux is pretty shaky defensively. He needs work.

Was it Gaston Therrien or Francois Gagnon that pencilled him into the Habs lineup?

Like tell me you’ve never watched Mailloux without telling me you’ve never watched him. He needs loads of work.

 

[Redux91]

Aside from that mistake, I still like the way Dobes play. He's very involved and speedy for such a tall guy.

The goal pissed him off you could tell lol, he was really solid after

Farrell, Mesar, Kidney. These are not future NHLers, sell while they still hold value.

 

[MadMslm]

I liked Simoneau last year at the camp and he looks good today so far. Sucks he's a midget.

He had a lot of heart, that’s for sure. After Beck, I think he was the second best forward out there.

I like Parker-Jones, there might not be much in term of potential but he does what he needs to do on the ice. I hope he sticks in Laval permanently.

We on pause right now? Just turned Youtube on, or just waiting for second period to start?!?

Yep. Between 1st and 2nd.

It looks like Justin Barron in the D zone.

Farrell is a bust but it's ok I still love him

Farrell, Mesar, Kidney. These are not future NHLers, sell while they still hold value.

If they aren't future NHL'ers, why would other teams want them?

 

[CristianoRonaldo]

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

His style of play at his size is not helping him find a niche in the nhl. He would have to be lights out like hutson or a top scorer like Caufield to realistically get a spot. I see at best an AHL star that may not play over 60-70% of the games due to injuries.

 

[absolute garbage]

Farrell really stood out. By being terrible that is. Bad play after another. Too small, too slow. Can't make any plays, giveaway machine.

 

[Tyson]

I liked Simoneau last year at the camp and he looks good today so far. Sucks he's a midget.

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.

 

[Rapala]

Dobes was solid.
Roy I didn't notice at all.

I noticed Roy twice when the puck came to him as he was standing still. He made a fairly decent play along the boards in the Ozone but not too many passes were reaching their destination.

Buffalo Sabres Youtube link for those who want English

 

[Jaynki]

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

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

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

Seems like a floater tbh

 

[Mudz]

who have the passes on the Habs goal?

 

[Playmaker09]

They shouldn't. But the book may not be out yet.

Kidney dominated the Q and made team Canada WJC last summer.
Mesar had a nice WJC last winter and has a 1st round pedigree.
Farrell dominated the NCAA.

Once they start hitting roadblocks in professional play, it'll be too late.

 

[Tyson]

Reinbacher is a terrific skater.

 

[MXD]

Seems like a floater tbh

It's not necessarily that he's a floater.
Considering his age and his pedigree, he should at least be amongst the three best forwards.
And really only Guindon, a recent draftee, has been more invisible than he was.

 

[74 others]

Very impressed by Reinbacher, he is big fast and he wants to make plays with the puck. Very mature game.

 

[Mudz]

Farrell, Mesar, Kidney. These are not future NHLers, sell while they still hold value.

They are penny stocks. Better hold and hope for a miracle
