GDT: Rookie Tournament- Habs vs Sens (Monday Sept 18 @ 1:30PM EST) youtube

[HabSgt]

Gotta say Sens goalie has been sharp.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Mesar nice saucer pass, but the sens goalie makes the save.

The 4 on 3 was ran horribly, but 4 on 3s aren't practiced a lot and given that this is just "random" players and 1 practice they didn't have time to practice that setup.

 

[CheldishGamibno]

Another chance by Mailloux lol, he had like 4 and 2 posts

 

[Redux91]

Mailloux just can't buy one today eh lol

 

[badfish]

Florian Xhekaj is funny, he looks like Arber, he has got some attitude like Arber, mixes it up after every whistle like Arber, but I'm always thrown off by how skinny he is. Imagine he goes on the same growth curve as Arber and ends up +220 lbs and 6'4? Thats awesome size for a guy who, if he makes it, is mostly likely to contribute in a physical/grinding bottom six role.

 

[Habs]

You'll see when he's not playing with a bunch of kids
Hope he gets a real pre-season game or 2

Yes, he's not scoring a hat trick.. we obviously did not draft him for that
I'm happy for Columbus getting fantilli and beyond livid Chicago was gifted Bedard for some absurd reason
But these 2 kids are not bringing cups to their teams anytime soon until THEY draft some top flight defensemen of their own.
Where are McDavid and Matthews rings?

i hope so because I'm noticing Mailouxxxx a lot, he's making nice passes and generating a lot of good things, cycles etc.

he's the best dman in the 1st period

Are you even watching ?

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Isaac Dufort got an assist on the Kidney goal for those who are unable to watch the stream.

 

[EveryDay]

1st game vs this game, day and night

It's because the Sens decide to sit their top prospect for this game while Buffalo was playing many 1st round talent(Kulich/Savoie/Rosen/Benson).

 

[Redux91]

I was Mesar instead of Beck.

No
Mesar came on right after

 

[EveryDay]

Mesar having a good 3rd period.

2nd period

 

[Mudz]

David looks soooo much slower than the clips of his full game from last year.

Not sure if it's the added weigh but it's almost bad. He that it was Kloten that asked him to add that weight. It looks like an advice from the 90s

 

[Lockin17]

Riley McKay is all heart and stood up for a lot of teammates last season in Laval. Heart and soul player.

The next Pezzeta ??

Been a fairly decent game for Logan yup
Good to see
O zone he's a force
D zone he's a project

 

[EveryDay]

No
Mesar came on right after

Well not on my feed lol.

He was creating havoc in the offensive zone with Roy and a beautiful pass by Farrell.

 

[Rapala]

Beck honoring that #62

He's been an offensive black hole so far. I don't think he should be on the PP at this point. I wonder how many shots we'd have if we didn't have so many breakdowns.

In fact he looks really fast on the ice.

The next Pezzeta ??

How's his hair game?

 

[ChesterNimitz]

Mailloux has been a cut above the other players so far both offensively and defensively. The Ottawa prospects, however, have been particularly weak. But this game gives you an excellent glimpse of Mailloux’s potential. Its what I saw last season on a regular basis and so reported.

 

[morhilane]

Mailloux looked bad in game one but the last 2 games, especially today, he has been excellent.

That's because the Habs are succeeding in avoiding to play for too long in their own zone while he's on the ice.

bash brothers back-to-back pose on the cover of The Hockey News, I can see it now

His problem right now is we're trying to play him 1C
And he's trying to play like a 1C
But it's just circumstantial right now
He's going to be a 3C for us and a damn good one at that
Once he starts playing like a 3C again through circumstance he will look amazing again lol

 

[Rapala]

LOL Florian just POPS the guy in the face 2 times as the guy is getting up anyway lmao
Yeah he's a Xhekaj

There is a reason they are going after McKay instead of Xhekaj.

 

[SlafySZN]

Are you even watching ?

I am, and i agree with him

Mailloux skates with the puck more but doesn’t know what to do once in the offensive zone.

 

[Mudz]

That's because the Habs are succeeding in avoiding to play for too long in their own zone while he's on the ice.

It's because he was paired with Ortiz versus the strongest team and Struble against two weaker team.

But Ortiz looked bad yesterday too. It was mainly from playing with Ortiz on game 1.
