Player Discussion Cole Caufield - Part XI

[DramaticGloveSave]

First game he was passing no matter what. 2nd game he was shooting no matter what. Last night had some great passes and some great shots. I think he busts out tonight.

I’m calling at least 1 goal and 3 points.

I noticed a few times last night when we were controlling the puck in the offensive zone, when our points got the puck Caufield skated up the zone in the high slot and made himself available to get the puck in that position à la Marner. He never received the pass but it's a good sign he's feeling more and more comfortable trying to create plays like that. I hate when Marner does that because it creates a lot of confusion when the defenseman is baited to come up that high.

on a two on one, especially on a bad angle for a shot, when the dman goes sliding down to cut off any hope of a pass, I would just try the toe drag that Armia and Toffoli used. Just make sure to keep the puck away from the dman touching it, say by flipping it to oneself (Cole easily has the puck skills to do so). And, if the dman hits your skates with his body or stick, just go down. It's a penalty. The dman is not allowed to block your way that way.

Better to get a pp than a bad angle shot on a Hellybuck who's square to the shooter.

 

[JianYang]

He is so due for a goal. It certainly isn't for a lack of chances though.

Hopefully, Cole isn't thinking too much about it. He's probably never gone this long in his life without scoring.

 

[Harry Kakalovich]

Maybe his shot won't translate?

 

[CAUFIELD]

Maybe his shot won't translate?

It’s timing and confidence . Don’t worry . He’s only beginning. The fact that he creates a lot of chance tell us he will get it

 

[26Mats]

Maybe his shot won't translate?

he'll be fine, just getting his feet wet.

 

[Miller Time]

he'd benefit a ton from a long break before next round... squeezing his stick a bit, could use a few days of practice to calm the nerves

 

[Harry Kakalovich]

Well the kid can pass...

 

[Andrei79]

No worries, this guy is a superstar in the making. The goals will come in bunches.

 

[neopreneur]

So f***ing clutch.

 

[Halakitlikethat]

THE KID ISNT JUST A SHOOTER

 

[the paisanos guy]

sign this kid to a 14 year deal asap

 

[Milhouse40]

What a play, What a pass.....

 

[The Great Weal]

His hands are magic and his playmaking is slept on. That line is looking more and more comfortable.

said many times he was our top prospect and when he got a lot of shit after both WJC's, kept saying he was the real deal, now those that doubted are starting to see what he will be. He still has work to do but f*** me is he ever going to be good. I've seen a lot of him since he was drafted and I've seen a shit ton of Hab prospects over the past 20+ years and I don't know if there's any that I'm more excited about then CC.

his game sense and compete level are off the charts... gets missed a bit i suspect because of how slick his puck skills are and how small he is. Sees the ice so well and finds the right spaces all the time... often by being elusive, but unlike most smallish skilled guys, he doesn't seem to be avoiding contact so much as minimizing it to give himself the best opportunity to get to the right place to make a play on the puck or help out defensively...

as Cassie called it out, his ability to read and react to "what's next" is phenomenal.

People who been saying caufield was bad didnt watched the game. They only watched stats. He was playing with beniers and playmaking/passing. was maybe his worst attribute to help caufield. This guy is playing like danault. Lol. Tough to put points on table. Caufield was flying on the ice and been better defensively, he just didnt put points on board during wjc

 

[CristianoRonaldo]

Should have started since the beginning of the playoffs...

A complete player, he can shoot, pass, deke and he's not a liability in his own zone.

I gotta dig up my quote shortly after he was drafted he would be the crown jewel of our organization

 

[Kojo]

Toffoli-Suzuki-Caufield. Wow. How can you defend against that?

 

[Born in 1909]

The arrival of CC has completely changed the Montreal Canadiens.

You wanted a game breaker… You got one.

 

[neopreneur]

Toffoli-Suzuki-Caufield. Wow. How can you defend against that?

Trade Danault to the opposing team?
