All purpose Alex Galchenyuk talk

[meefer]

is that what they say about him, that he is immature?

Going back to his Montreal years, I believe he had quite the reputation as a partier. Also, a player who relied on his natural talents (limitations included) without the commitment to working hard.

 

[ottomaddox]

Well...now he's on the 4th line and not on the 2nd PP.

I suppose what could have been did not happen...

 

[DarkKnight]

I’d rather have a Boyd on the fourth line to be honest.

 

[Mr Hockey]

moving him to the fourth line gives a balance to all the lines, each line has 2 guys that can skate?

 

[therealkoho]

It could be because "they" say a lot of things, and if anybody was going to say such a thing, "they" would be probably the first to be suspected.

 

[Wafflewhipper]

He's been hitting, working hard, skating hard, decent D.... But it's been THREE games. THREE games is hardly decision making time on the guy. He needs to play hard for more than THREE games, and needs to start putting some points up. Next four games will be critical, for AG, and the Leafs.

I thought for sure he'd score against Ottawa, but the ex-Sen to do that was Spezza.

Somebody actually said it’s decision time on him? Not a chance, he will play the rest of the season if he keeps playing the same. He’s good and hasn’t even scored yet is my take anyways

He wasn’t serious enough basically. Haha oh well shappens
All the money and women and beer. Yep

 

[Iapyi]

I will say that he has surprised me. I didn't think he was an NHL caliber player. He has shown that he is or most certainly can be.

????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

This is a very very unclear comment.

What in the world does being a partier have to do with maturity level?

 

[The Beyonder]

He's been a vast improvement over Vesey.

 

[Jozay]

He skates hard...and thats about it

 

[Future]

He skates hard...and thats about it

This aged well.

This aged well.

Clearly I have powers.

Putting out

 

[OB34KNH]

Most of the HF users are idiots.

If you even watched all his games --- ESPECIALLY last game, where he got 0 points. He hard 4-5 A grade scoring chances. Hell he could've scored twice and had an assist to go along with it last game. He looked amazing.

Most people here think that Thornton is faar better than Galchenyuk, --- Just because Thornton's old, can't play defense, can't skate, and can make a pass once in a while.

 

[Antropovsky]

He’s been great since called up... he’s looked like a good fit for Tavares.

 

[nobody]

2 crucial assists including that beauty drop pass to JT on the 2nd goal. He might be a little snake bit but he's been fantastic so far and I would argue one of the biggest reasons we won the game today.

 

[Stephen]

That between the leg pass to Nylander was pure mojo. Glad to see the Leafs rehabilitation of his career is working out for all of us. That second line was huge tonight.

 

[Future]

Honestly. Just going to say it. He’s top 5 on our team in terms of talent, easily. Shows flashes every game.

Would love to see him get a chance on the top line, or at the very least, a shot on the powerplay.

 

[cookie]

Chucky making it look like child's play on that second line there

 

[OB34KNH]

Even his second assist, he made a gorgeous feed to Holl, who fanned on the shot. Than Willie scored off of that.

This guy has been doing nothing but creating high grade scoring chances since he's joined the Leafs, yet, Thornton is still superior to him because "hes a veteran".

 

[klmdg]

We need to do a forum poll on an offical nickname

Gally and Chucky are so Habs, and I personally do no like anything Habish

Just the player the Leafs needed and got him basically for free. If he can start scoring - watch out!

Take out Thornton/Simmonds (Thornton preferably) and put in Gally on the PP
In terms of offensive talent ranking, on the Leafs,I have:
1) Matthews
2) Marner
3) Nylander
4) Tavares
5) Galchenyuk
6) Spezza
7) Rielly
8) Hyman
9) Kerfoot

 

[LeafGrief]

Ripped one off the bar right before the Oilers' first goal and then two assists in the comeback. Great game from Galchenyuk. Hope he keeps this up, he's been generating some nice offense so far.

 

[Mats13]

Think he’s really starting to click with the 2nd line

If he keeps this up it will be an amazing pick up
