I dont see Tinordi before 2 years...if at all...hasnt impressed...i think we have a star in nathan beaulieu though....
80% of people on this board love Tinordi because he is 9 feet tall....i would trade him now in a package for something we need...we will need to keep nathan beaulieu
You're right. It has nothing to do with the fact that he captained the London Knights all the way to the final game of the Memorial Cup. Or that he was arguably London's best player in their run and was named to the Memorial Cup All-Star Team. Or that he was he an absolute stud for the Hamilton Bulldogs this season as a rookie.

Yeah let's trade Tinordi for a 5'8 playmaking forward.
One can never have enough midgets!

Habs cup - its in the BAG
Tinordi isn't flashy, so he must suck.
Seriously, we need MORE D like Tinordi in the pipe line. We are stacked with flashy puck moving D. We need a few more hitting/shot blocking machines who have a decent outlet pass.

Tinordi has impressed me more than Beaulieu. The former looks ready for the NHL, the latter has mental issues to work out. Making the bigs is all about what's between the ears, just look at the Gallys.
Tinordi has that right now BUT he's still green and playoffs is playoffs. He is no 2010 Subban. If he was playing with the club for 10-15 games at the end, sure, it would have been great to have him. It's hindsight, but that would have been the best solution instead of auditions. We didn't know how "sofff" we'd be before the last week of the season.
For now Drew is gonna have to fill that role or just play LJV. Maybe he finally has his day in MTL. His shots were looking pretty deadly. Just has to be strong at the blueline.
Can't wait for tinordi next year or even 2014-15. Maybe by then Beaulieu will not think he's a god.

Seriously dude, quit HF. You just can't post **** like that here and not expect to be called out. Tinordi is EXACTLY what we need, he's just not that mature in his game yet.
Why not let Tinordi get thrown into the fire and see what he can do on the biggest stage of all- the NHL playoffs? Perhaps getting called up again will ignite that competitive fire to be stay as part of the Habs lineup? It is a great motivational tool for guys that want to make their mark and stay out of the minors by proving themselves.
With the way the D is playing as a whole fresh blood would be a welcome change.

Still on the record books as the tallest Hab ever. Couldn't skate, Swedish and no leadership qualities but otherwise I see the resemblance.
It may not be time for TinordiandSubban to shine but for immediate needs put him with Gorges on a shut-down pairing:
Bouillon-Subban
Tinordi-Gorges
Markov-Diaz

Some are blaming the slump on clinching or Price, some blame MT, some blame the loss of Emelin. Some blame Desharnais if it rains.
Of course hockey is a team sport, I'm not suggesting Emelin's loss is the only reason but it's a huge factor and it's not ridiculous to want to compensate.
For all their heart, Josh, Raphael and Francis (sound like faerie characters in a kids' TV show) just don't have the physicality, and playoffs are physical you know that. Would love to see Tinordi (or Pateryn) play sooner than later.
becuase we have spent considerable time and money to make sure that his progression as a player is reasonable and sustainable. If his first real experience ( other than the call up) is the NHL playoffs and he gets burned, it could significantly impede his progress.
and for the record, I am in favor of calling him up but if the habs decide that the risk outweighs the reward, I can understand that as well. They have a hell of a lot beeter impression of what his talents and weaknesses are.

Just the tip!
As I see it the sooner you give young guys a taste of the NHL playoff the better. Even better if we go deep let alone dare I say it win the cup. Success breed success and it make everybody hungry for more.

But there is also a big possibility that he crumbles under the pressure, seeing as he has never played at such a high level in his life. If he loses that confidence at the NHL level, that could really impede his development.
I'm not saying that will happen, but that is why you don't see many young rookies in the NHL playoffs. It isn't usually a good idea for their development. That said, I think Tinordi could be one of those rookies that may be able to handle the pressure. He went to the Memorial Cup as captain just a year ago. But it's pretty much up to management to decide if they think it is a good idea, as they know much more about his development than we do, and it seems their final decision is to place Tinordi on the taxi squad.
Well I don't agree that it's a huge factor. Actually I think it holds very little barring. If we look at how we've played in the past 4 games (we actually played well versus Toronto for most of the game, they looked horrible) it's been night and day compared to the previous 37 games. Losing one depth player who wasn't even having that great of a season doesn't affect you that much, it just doesn't. I mean, we didn't look half as bad when we lost Prust and many consider him a huge key player for us up front.
It just doesn't add up. In any event, it's fine if you want to believe the loss in physicality from this one player is a huge factor in our current slump.
However, you should not expect Tinordi to fill this void. He has 3 checks in 6 games with us. I would like to see him on our roster as well, but I don't think he will change anything until our overall team defensive coverage and goaltending gets back to what it was before.

Well respectfully we'll have to agree to disagree. As I've mentioned Emelin had about as many hits as Markov, Subban and Gorges combined, and many were bone-rattling hits that neutralized an opponent and/or separated him from the puck. For a team with a small roster I think that's "huge." I do not see Emelin as a bottom pairing defenceman as you do. He played big minutes with Markov and that was not due Diaz being out. In fact Diaz shone primarily on the PP while Subban was still negotiating.
I do agree that based on his age and the few games he played w/ the Habs this season that Tinordi would not replace Emelin. But remember Tinordi was playing on his off side and very possibly instructed to keep it simple. Given that we've seen great results from rookies under MT this year I would love to see big Tinordi get paired with a solid partner and given a chance to hold the blue line, punish opposing forwards along the boards, and clear the crease.
Anyway Go Habs Go!

Poked the bear!!!!!
I really have no idea what people are seeing in Beaulieu's call-ups vs. Tinordi's that I'm missing. Maybe Beaulieu will be better in the future, but in terms of their play in the NHL based on what we've seen, Tinordi is far closer to being ready and much more able to help the Habs as we stand today.
Yes, Emelin was hitting a lot more than the rest of our top 4. I never denied that. Where we differ is on the role this physicality plays in our current bad streak. You seem to think it holds a major factor. I don't.
Emelin is not the reason why our forwards are failing at their defensive coverage, it really has nothing to do with it. Emelin isn't the reason why Gorges and PK don't look as solid. Heck, PK even said himself that since they clinched he doesn't feel like the team and himself are playing with the same sense of urgency.
You also have interviews on TSN990 from Brian Burke and Darren Dreger, and they both feel like the loss of Emelin isn't really what this is about (Burke also added that Price is one of the best goalies in the NHL), Dreger said the GMs he's talked too still are scared of the habs, speed, tenacity, play and get this, GRIT! Wow, other GMs tell Dreger they are impressed by the Habs's grit..
I mean, it's pretty darn simple to look at our current bad streak, notice that Emelin isn't on the team anymore, and say ''well, that must be why!''. But in reality, there's no way you can attribute our extremely poor coverage and lack of compete to missing him. No way.
Also, Emelin was not the bone crushing machine you make him out to be, not this year. He had some nice hits, but not nearly as much as last year, and he wasn't solid defensively. He still struggled on his off wing.
Anyways, I guess there's no convincing you otherwise. You can think that losing an average #4 physical Dman is the cause for a collapse, but I think it has more to do with the rest of the team just not stepping up their game when other teams are (PO race might have something to do with that) and our goalies not stopping beach balls.
I expect things to go back on better tracks by the POs.
As for Tinordi, there's no doubt he was told to keep it simple, and not go out of position to throw hits. It seems to be a very popular opinion of Therrien. But he's also a rookie and barely cracks 200 lbs. That might also have something to do with it.
Really shows how Berg pushed the fact how everyone needs to play a role on this team to be successful. We have nobody that can fill Emelin's role other then maybe Tinordi, but thats a lot of pressure on this kid. Anyone familiar how Tinordi played with the Knights in the playoffs, and if his game changed/adapted?
