Player Discussion Cole Caufield - Part XI

[SpeedyPotato]

Man I know he's not gonna play game 1 and it pisses me off.

4 goals in 10 games. On pace for over 20 in 56 games. Only Toffoli and Gallagher have scored at that pace.

But let's leave him in the stands. We need the extra player that's good defensively but can't do shit in the offensive zone.

Yup, and then we watch them loose with the shitty lineup.

Ask your own colleagues, Stephane.

 

[Canadienna]

I just watched his post game interview. Judging by how he answered when asked if he thought he'd make the lineup for the playoffs it sounded to me like he had been told he'll be a scratch.

I don't want to get worked up over something that hasn't even happened yet, but Caufield (and Kotkaniemi) 100% need to play in game 1 of these playoffs.

Of all the dumb shit this organization has done, sitting Caufield for the playoffs might be the dumbest of all. And we've seen the org do plenty of dumb shit lol. I wont believe it til I see it, it's just too dumb to not play him

 

[jaffy27]

Any of these players should sit so that Caufield can play:

• Armia
• Byron
• Lehkonen
• Tatar

Ducharme is a bad coach, but he's not that bad that he'd sit one of our best offensive players just because he's a rookie. (I don't think he is at least).

I’d sit Tatar

Very small sample size but on pace for 32.8 goals to be exact and he had so many other glorious chances it could have easily been 6 or 7 goals.

He will play. Were not that stupid.

 

[sandviper]

I’d sit Tatar

You’re nuts! Tatar is a playoff warrior!



Yeah, I’d sit Tatar or Armia to make room for CC.

Got to invest in our upcoming UFAs. Their development is of upmost importance.

 

[mols47]

Armia plays a heavy playoff style game - I'd take him over Tatar.

With Toffoli, Caufield is our best sniper.

two of his goals were on 3-3 which you wont see in the playoffs.
his other two goals? One was a late game PP in a game that the Leafs were up 5-0 and the other in a exhibition game against the Oilers.
I like the kid but watching him in his D zone I understand the decision.
That being said the experience would be great for him and with the crap team we have I want to see it.

I wished other players would score those useless goals...

A goal is a goal. Let's take away 3-on-3 goals for McDavid and Matthews or anyone else.

The sample size is too small, but discrediting goals is not a way to look at it. How many goals do other Habs players have? They're all playing the same game in the same team. Someone's got to score.

I would probably take playoff Lehkonen over playoff Tatar also

Has the decision been announced?

I assume it will be announced after the pregame warm up next Thursday.

you take away 3 on 3 goals and habs dont play the leafs, as they would be 2nd or 3rd in division

has nothing to do with fact they dont play 3 on 3 in the playoffs

I've heard nothing.

All true except they dont play three on three in the playoffs. Cole is the type of little flashy player who thrives in 3 on 3. All credit to him.

 

[Geecko]

What I also like is that Caufield, and Suzuki, have shown the ability to put their teams on their backs during playoffs at lower levels. You cannot sit Caufield, especially since they play so well together.

 

[Supersonic]

Remember everyone whining about how Timmins should be fired because he took “the smurf”?

Lmao

 

[Favster]

If they sit him in the playoffs... huge lol. He has gamebreaking talent, don't want to get mad about hypotheticals but it wouldn't surprise me at all.
