HF Habs: U18 World Men's Hockey Championship, April 25-May 5

[Kobe Armstrong]

How do we get Cole Hutson and Iggy JR?


Exactly, they are just kids. If people knew what Messier and Anderson did during the 80's in Edmonton, they would be sickened. Social media blows

Are Cole's growth plates still open?

In this instance social media is a good thing if it stops them form idiotic acts and bullying.

Players who improved their draft stock:

- Ryder Ritchie
- Cole Hutson
- Carter George

Players who hurt their draft stock :
- Connelly
- Greentree
- Aron Kiviharju


Do you guys agree?

I didn't see a whole lot, but what little I saw of Greentree I liked.

 

[Beer and Chips]

Iginla at #6? Meh. I'm not even whelmed. We need lottery luck big time.

when has that ever happened? Bullies are going to bully, idiots are going to post their life

 

[Habs Icing]

From what I am reading Iginla has not disappointed.

Well, he does disappoint fans of the teams he plays against.

 

[Hacketts]

Iginla doesn't look like a bus driver, but he seems like someone who would work great with one. I dunno, I don't know if I'd consider him at five but it's not blasphemous either.I

Speaking of which, nice pass to McKenna, great shot by him.

I get that vibe too, more the Robin than the BATMAN.

 

[windycity]

The whole team.

Including the coaches

Celebrini let’s go!!!

 

[Hannibal]

I get that vibe too, more the Robin than the BATMAN.

At fifth this year, we won’t draft a batman foward except if Lindstrom falls. We need to pick the best Robin. And Iggy is that.

Catton.

 

[SOLR]

That was an epic 3rd period.

 

[le_sean]

Here's the Connelly penalty for those who missed it.

I mean that is inexcusable. The hit itself obviously, but the timing. If you’re going to do something this egregiously dumb, it’s in the 1st period to try and create some type of momentum. But 10 mins left in the 3rd while up a goal? Man this kid is just beyond f***ing idiotic and selfish.

 

[jaffy27]

Is it just me that find everybody vilifying him for this hit, kind of hypocrites? Stupid, 100% truly because of how IIHF rules are very strict. That being said everybody on this board always say we need players that play hard to compete in the NHL playoff and that we are too small. In the NHL playoff this is not a 5 min major and he would be praised for his intensity and attitude.

Play the score man….they were dominating, no need to level a guy at that point, you need to understand the moment.

He didn’t and took a run at him like it was 5mins in the 1st period trying to establish your physicality and that we came to play…..f*** me, they had established domination already and Canada was a shell of themselves.

Stupid decision led to US opening the barn doors for Canada to take over the game and win gold.

 

[Hannibal]

Catton.

From the early reports, i don’t think he’s in the Habs conversation.

 

[Hacketts]

Catton could be a BATMAN.

You don’t want prime Gallagher, but with a far better shot?

 

[Harry Kakalovich]

Bruce Wayne is Berkley Catton...

 

[Hacketts]

From the early reports, i don’t think he’s in the Habs conversation.

It's too early to say who is and who isn't. I understand the report, but to say 5'11 116pt player is out of the conversation on May 5th seems a bit silly.

Kid could be a very special player, and has the skills we need.

He’s 100% ND for the Habs.

 

[SwiftyHab]

Couldn’t see the game. Anyone want to give their observations of our potential draft targets?

 

[Whitesnake]

Late to the party......so.....do we pick Connelly in the 5th or 6th round?

Nothing crazy like that, but he hurt himself today. He wasn’t part of the team going in, he’s certainly not going out of the tournament now.

I’d say he’s going mid end / back end of first, maybe start of 2nd. Whatever top 15 was speculated is gone now IMO.

The Isles have the worst prospect pool in the league and a bad offence. If there was a team to take a flyer on him, it would be them. If anyone can keep him in check and bring down his ego, it might be Lou.

If I’m the Isles, I don’t start the Josh Ho-Sang experiment again

I don’t know, scouts really hate that kind of noise. I mean, he IS going somewhere, but I figure some cold sweats are going to happen while putting him up on the list. Polarising figure.
