Too bad we don't have a goon for this game

No need for a goon, just anyone whiling to go for a knee on knee like Gudas does.

Didn't see this posted.

Probably means he plays every game unless he struggle.

Nice little incentive to make sure he plays hard. Good idea, I like it.

Looking out of place because they are a bit star struck/feeling the pressure of being in the show and not being able to insantly adjust to the increased speed isn't really a problem so long as they also show flashes of their own. Even Caufield looked a little overwhelmed in his first few NHL games, he bobbled the puck quite a bit, missed one timers, etc... but every game he also flashed what makes him such a special player.

I like how Harris talked about it. There is an adjustment to how well players use their physical play at that level. Maybe they have big boys in NCAA but one has to 1-understand/figure out the nhl play rigor 2-find a path to deal with it 3-deal with it (physical training, mental adjustments).

I have faith in players that have shown they keep evolving and do it consistantly.

Harris is this type of guy... not that big, not that strong, but he's proven he can be quite effective and it will just get better as he polish his game. Will he be a key piece of a cup team or a worthy trading chip... ??? But he's gonna be an appreciated nhl player for years, that's for sure.

Farrel will be either, trading chip or key player, but i feel he has value and will be much more than a Chipchura.

I wouldn’t start him against FLA…they want kill us every time we play. Saturday night at home against CAR seems perfecr

 

[habdynasty]

Makes his debut tonight.

In losing efforts, yes.

Didn’t think they’d get him in so quickly….

You were right

 

[Monsieur Miz]

We sure love our 5'9 players around here.

 

[JRichard]

On Habs Twitter, Farrell thanking Kevin Hayes for nice gesture. Classy.

If they're good, yes.
If they're bad, no.

It's just a little over a period. But he may need a year in Laval.

 

[Blame the referee]

He look like Desharnais on the ice

 

[NewDef]

He's nervous as hell, playing jerky and unsure where to be on the ice. He's gonna be spent in the 3rd! I think he'll be good but man that was fast tracked here... should've had at least 2 good practices first... MSL did'nt look happy about it.

 

[Redux91]

Well
We can't keep BOTH rhp and Farrell lol

 

[McGuires Corndog]

Nervous game from him tonight but he had some nice moments defensively.

 

[NewDef]

Well

Trading chips the over will be. Gotta give to receive and I admit I like to see the pipe is full of valuable assets. I like RHP too much to think he'll be the one to go. I like how game smart he is.

If Gally can end the season well, he might be tradable at the draft. Farell needs an AHL year to learn the pro level I think. Having Caufield and RHP as smaller players next year would be fine.

 

[WeThreeKings]

He didn't even get a practice with the team.. Gorton said part of it was so Farrell could have a lot of family in attendance for his NHL debut.

They'll now give him some practice time and a chance to build chemistry with some players.

He was really solid defensively, which is what people don't really know about him since he's 5'9" and scores a lot of points.

 

[26Mats]

Well

If Farrell starts to look good, I'm ok with seeing how Caufield, Farrell, and RHP each on one of our top 3 lines would go. It may or may not work.

Since RHP plays big, it's possible he could play with Cole and Nick. But I think they'd do better with a big body, and I like RHP's hockey sense and grit on the same line as an Anderson, Gurianov, or Slaf anyways.

The reaction of MSL after the game was clear. He was not happy to be forced to play Farrell that early.

Annoying to see these NCAA players able to burn the first year of their ELCs. Ideally he would have started in the AHL. Now the team will have to send back to Laval somebody else that worked hard the whole year.
