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

[CheldishGamibno]

like i said before, Roy is going to be a very difficult cut. He looks NHL ready in how quick his decision making is. He scans and reads and is ready to move the puck to the right place in a heartbeat. He has a great chance at getting a few games with the big club to start the season if this keeps up

too many forwards, stuck with that fat cow Armia stealing a kid's spot. I don't mind letting him dominate the AHL this year though. No need to rush. For now I'd like RHP and Ylonen to play.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

I have no idea what people are talking about.

Based on these 2 games and almost a period three isn't a single hab that's a hard cut.

They're all easily cut based on how things have gone so far.

 

[Skip Bayless]

Not seeing anything that sticks out from Sean Farrell

Can't skate. It all starts from there and spirals down.

 

[CheldishGamibno]

really reaching for things to see why Reinbacher was that high of a pick..

he's the best dman in the 1st period

Disagree. Reinbacher is looking really good, pair him with Matheson or Ghule and he might look NHL ready.

 

[Tyson]

I have to disagree with you. Mailloux has been easily the best D of the 1st period.

 

[Skip Bayless]

Liked how Xhekaj delayed and switched to his forehand to create a lane there.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Really good ?

First game you could argue he caused 2 goals against.

This game he looks alright, but he made a move at the blueline that caused a turnover.

It's quite clear he's not ready for the NHL if you only take into account this tournament.

He will need some really nice pre-season games to change that.



Habs are getting sustained pressure, but the lack of skill up front is evident.

 

[CheldishGamibno]

Agreed he did 2 great plays after I posted that lol, Reinbacher is still having a good 1st period though, nothing to worry about.

 

[EveryDay]

Honestly it's a total domination like we should expected with Ottawa timid lineup.

 

[Redux91]

Trudeau is really interesting.. leadership wise I mean
He is directing players pre face off and during shifts themselves
He suggested to Reinbacher they should switch sides RIGHT before the ref dropped the puck to help with their handedness to better receive one timer passes since they were in the O zone

And mid shift he alerts his partner To catch the other team on a line change, which we ended up doing

I can see why he has the C

 

[CheldishGamibno]

Burbidge looks like they took DeBrincat and stretched him out

 

[xX SEYF Xx]

Funny how Mailloux can look a stud and a moron on any given shift lol

 

[HabSgt]

Thought Habs were the better team & had the better chances but they are down 0-1 so WTF do I know?

 

[Hannibal]

Farrell
Kidney
Mesar

Terrible.

 

[Lockin17]

Funny how Mailloux can look a stud and a moron on any given shift lol

loll so true

 

[Simarino]

Mailloux, Trudeau and Roy all looking good. Farrell and Mesar needs to show more but its still only rookie tournament so no need to panic.

 

[Skip Bayless]

I didn't even know Mesar was playing. Has he even touched the puck once so far?

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

I think Ottawa was credited with 6 shots, but I feel like someone accidentally pushed the button to give them one.

Barely any shots. Spunar should have had the one that beat him.

Habs generaterd 12 shots, but had a bunch of zone time. They had maybe 2 dangerous chances.

The lack of quality prospects is evident in this tournament.

Hopefully the 2nd they come out, get some pressure and pop some.

Maybe in your eyes but not for me. He look like a man playing among children today.

 

[Nevins]

Not much to celebrate

 

[Redux91]

really reaching for things to see why Reinbacher was that high of a pick..

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?

 

[Skip Bayless]

Kidney isn't too shabby. Not a huge fan, but he's making plays out there.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Maybe in your eyes but not for me. He look like a man playing among children today.

How?

A man amongst children would be rushing the puck and doing whatever he wants with it. He's not doing that.

He's skating, he's making solid passes and good positionally. I wouldn't hold my previously mentioned turnover against him, but a man amongst children dominates and he's clearly not dominating.

 

[EveryDay]

Farrell
Kidney
Mesar

Terrible.

Farrell and Kidney are just to slow to create anything at this level. Kidney might start the season in Trois-Rivières and Farrell on Laval 3rd line.
