Probably 8 years old, currently he's 12 years old.

Say what you want about Craig Button...but he predicted that Goal Caufield would become the Lionel Messi of hockey. Hahahaha

 

[M.C.G. 31]

You said it: “a coach who trust them”. He wouldn’t have played one minute in these playoffs under Therrien. How many careers has this guy ruined?

Not even sure he’d get this much rope with Julien.

Ducharme has done pretty much everything right since game 4 vs. Toronto and letting Caufield go do his thing and keep giving him regular shifts regardless of what happens is a big part of that.

I think Julien would played the kid. It was a team group decision n not a 1 person call. CC plays in POs regardless of coach.

 

[tooji]

lmao he still looks the exact same.

You can't teach or coach scoring touch. If so, Bob Gainey would have scored 600 goals in his career.

Wow. I can certainly see the similarities.

Just yesterday I was watching highlights of one Messi's 1st games as an 18/17 year old for Barcelona against Real Madrid. Zidane, Beckham, Eto, Ronaldinho, Deco, and Brazilian Ronaldo were on the field. Messi was already the best player on the field and getting tons of chances. But hadn't yet figured out how to finish them all at that level. Sound familiar?

The amount of all-time greats on that pitch is absurd.

Button got it backwards.

Messi is the Caufield of soccer.

Yeah those were great years. But also, that's soccer, no salary cap. The biggest markets load up on all the stars and are at the top of the standings every year, except the odd year here and there.

 

[Le Cobra]

I think he is elite. A future All Star and potential HOFer. The things he has accomplished already at this level of competition is nothing short of elite (no pun intended).

He is the definition of the word clutch.

 

[Bearr]

Bust. Didn't score on a breakaway and then was on the ice for the opposing equalizer.

Missed his coverage...who scored

 

[Paddy17]

He's been responsible defensively and disciplined. If there's one thing he can improve on is to be more active in puck retrieval. He's way too passive and is sometimes just circling by or watching/waiting. Get your stick in there and dig it out.

 

[Harry Kakalovich]

Tough play by Caulfield on the first goal by the Knights. He missed that puck along the boards and that led to the break down down low.

That line lost the battle with the Karlsson line and that was one of the reasons the Habs lost.

I still think Caulfield will be a difference maker this upcoming 3 game series. Tough night tonight.

 

[Favster]

Had a bit of a fly by on the game winning goal. Needs to be shown tape of it and he will adjust in no time.

 

[dkd]

Probably 8 years old, currently he's 12 years old.

Will be celebrating his Bar Mitzvah next year at the Bell Centre.

 

[Archijerej]

He will probably need a puck retriever on his line as he's inconsistent in puck battles. Sometimes he hangs around a scrum and good things come out of that, like in the series-winning goal against the Jets. Sometimes he anticipates what the defenceman is going to do on the breakout and is able to intercept the puck. But there are also a lot of situations when he refuses to engage as the F1 and the opponent has no problem whatsoever to make a play.

40 + 40 potential for Cole. We've got a good one

He knows he’s not going to outmuscle anyone so he goes for the intercept and/or directs the opponent to breakout the side he wants. I have no issue with that.

It's nice to look at this thread and take in the enthusiasm we all have for Caufield...it'll come in handy next year when he goes through a slump and people start asking if it's time to send him to the AHL.

Yes, he will have to be unorthodox, but he can't be a puff of smoke on the forecheck.

Last night that line didn't generate many clean entries and they just couldn't retrieve the puck after dump ins the whole night.
