There was no real leadership with only a couple players stepping up to make an impact like Brooks, Bitten, Evans and Hillis. Not much to really read into here, it’s just unfortunate that after being dominated after the 1st period and Evans injury nobody showed any fire. I kind of expected players to get a bit more jump when you’re fighting to make an impression and one of your top players gets KO’d, but it’s also hard to play hockey when the back end can’t really move the puck up.

Sounds like the prospects are right on track with the big club. Totally aligned at being gutless pussies with hardly any talent.

Bergies eye for character and attitude is astoundingly dyslexic!! And he's Ray (frank)ing Charles when it comes to assessing talent and building a team!

This is going to be hilarious to watch this year!

Also, he would likely be a top 6 D on the Habs this year, if still alive.

He'd have a decent shot at cracking the roster as a corpse

#84 Cole Fonstad will be a top6 fw, probably a winger. He's got more hockey smarts and skills than Kotkaniemi who unfortunately indeed will turn out to be a bust..

Coming from a true fan, what is this?

It would be fun to see Kotkaniemi with better wingers...nothing personal against Teasdale and Katerinakis, but you know...

Just above you, in this very thread....
- deadpoulet

I been calling him a bust since before he was drafted.

Whats up with Poehling? Going back to St.Cloud for another year?

Yeah, it will be his twin brothers' senior year and he feels they have what it takes to win the Frozen Four. He'll probably be at camp in 2019

yep, so before him and kotkaniemi become decent effective top 6 c... it will take minimum 3 years. and that is IF they make it.
pure joy. what a plan!

Gaston Therrien était en charge de nommer les 3 étoiles, 1ère et 3e sont allées au Leafs, pis la 2e étoile, il aurait pu choisir Josh Brook qui a été solide tout le match, ou Will Bitten qui a été intense, a eu 2 échappées et une mention d'aide...mais non, il a choisi Michael Pezzetta, parce que y'a eu une batoye.

Dirty scumbag hit. That's the problem with these tournaments, they don't count, so no consequences. You always have the occasional dimwit that tries to make himself visible but uses the wrong way to do it.

Yeah for sure, well said. It looked like Tszyka got a little low and was hit heavily from behind. Looked dangerous and awkward.

(1/2) Joël Bouchard, en furie contre l'inaction de ses joueurs: «C’est inacceptable. On joue en équipe, on se tient en équipe. On les a avertis qu’il fallait que ça change. Les gars qui se trouvaient sur la patinoire ce moment-là n’ont pas joué du reste de la période.»

(2/2)«Même si c’est un camp des recrues, ils portent un chandail du Canadien. Je ne prône pas la violence, mais je leur demande de se tenir debout. On se protège entre nous chaque fois qu’on a la même couleur de chandail. C’est comme ça dans n’importe quelle ligue au monde.»

That should fire Bouchard up now! He's kind of a hot head so maybe he'll use this to fire up the guys to play a little harder. Can't change the unfortunate outcome, but could possibly turn a negative into a positive?

Yeah, don't remember hearing this kind of discourse from Lefebvre, kind of refreshing. And it's good that he's not waiting a few games to try and implement that mentality, right now's the time to do it (although with 2 guys leaving on a stretcher in 2 nights, he kinda had to say something)

For sure! The sooner the better. Nice to see somebody actually walked the walk after all of that BS about changing the culture, being more transparent blah blah blah......
















And Lefebvre was a wussy!
