Player Discussion Cole Caufield - Part XI

[Lafleurs Guy]

Hurt, most likely.

That is a strong possibility.

 

[Garbageyuk]

That is a strong possibility.

Hopefully the break rejuvenates him. We need his playing style against the Knights.

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

Caufield's family (mentions his dad) is in Vegas to watch him play live in the nhl for the first time.

 

[Gael]

He's scoring tonight

 

[JustAHabFan]

He's scoring tonight

I also can feel it.

Be careful with the back-pedaling; you're gonna hurt yourself one of these times

But then you did double down on your other ridiculous notion about Caufield, so...idk lol, you seem a little "garbled".

yeah you don't know what back-pedalling is

100% recency bias, sorry.

CC can certainly become a better player than prime Cammy, but to say that he already is is simply wrong.

If he is already better, where are all the goals he needs to eclipse Cammy's output and prove it?

All Cammy has over Caufield is finish. Not nothing of course but otherwise Caufield is better. Way more dynamic by half.

If I want to get more specific, is Caufield better than Cammy at his absolute best which was the Pittsburgh series? Then no. Cammy was beyond outstanding in that series. As far as Cammy's 2010 playoffs AS A WHOLE and Caufield's as a whole so far... I'd actually take Caufield. He's been a scoring chance and odd man rush machine and just seems to get better and better.

So, fine it's debatable but to me it's obvious who's going to be the better player barring something awful.

Now THIS is MUCH closer to backpedalling

 

[Matthew McConaughay]

I also can feel it.

he's got too, he's never been this long in his career, without scoring.

 

[Angler]

He’s going to score on Fleury. Every shot he takes either seems dangerous or creates a rebound. He’s good at putting it in awkward spots for goalies. It handcuffs them.

I swear Helleybuck bobbled almost everything CC threw at him

 

[Destopcorner]

I love the Suzuki - Caufield duo, but I don't know if Toffoli is the right player to complete this line. I would prefer to have a left handed version of Anderson with them (a prime Lucic kind of player).

I agree entirely. I'm scared for Caufield on this line. We need a big lefty to own the boards and protect our two superstars. Someone able to claim the blue paint and get those fat rebounds. My ideal target is Sammy Blais and I believe he could be acquired for the right package. Don't forget Medias will need a new quebecer soon once Drouin and Danault leave.

100% , it was uncanny how every CC shot gave Hellebuck trouble, so much so to the point that on the winning goal of Game 4 Helle played the tough angle shot over the pass that eventually was zipped to Toffoli

Every shot that hit Connor in the shoulders that series is going in on Fleury baby

I need at least 3 goals this series Cole or we probably dont win!

 

[aresknights]

Kids been very good so far. Confidence n playmaking aren't an issue but I'm curious how he responds when it gets tough for him.

I think he will step up, just curious.to see it.

 

[montreal]

Say what you will about the Habs, management, etc.. but the most exciting thing imo is the experience Caufield, Suzuki, KK, Romanov, Evans are getting. Plus you have the black aces working und Bouchard all this time, the more work they get with this guy the better and that just bodes well for our future imo.

ok buddy...

 

[Matthew McConaughay]

He was our best player in the last game, and he will be our best player tonight's game too, and with the winning goal, let's go Cole.

 

[Max2]

I like how even when dumping it in on a line change, he directs it at the goalie and they even often have trouble with that.He puts a little spin on the puck.Most players just dump it in the corner.They do that so the puck handling goalies like Smith and Price can't make a sneaky quick play up ice.Caufield has that covered lol

1 in 1 Looking good for CauCau in this series

 

[DramaticGloveSave]

I think he keeps it going and gets a couple for us tonight.

 

[Paddy17]

What is nice about his shot is the variety. He could go top shelf all day, but after a while that would be predictable. Rather, he just puts the puck in so many different places and doesn't sell his shot location, which is why goalies are having a hard time handling every one of his shots.

Can't wait to see him in the target shooting competition at next year's All-Stars event.

 

[azcanuck]

He only has one goal but has been creating since the beginning and has made some nice passes.

This guy's got star written all over him.

in two years?

 

[azcanuck]

in two years?

who knows, I thought he would be a slow developer with his size and lack of speed.

 

[montreal]

I thought when he signed you were saying it would take him 2 years no?

Yes I thought it would.

Lack of speed! man you're blind.
