Player Discussion Corey Schueneman

[MilesNewton]

The goal last night should help boost his confidence but boy did he look nervous and uncomfortable out there guess it comes with time but really out of position most if the night.

 

[CHwest]

Always exciting when a long time minor leaguer makes the show. I am pulling for him. Hard working, persaverance, something we can all respect.

 

[74 others]

Better than Kulak for sure.

 

[No ReGretzkys]

what a beast tonight, love him

 

[Wats]

He's kinda iffy on the defensive side right now but he's learning and getting better. Love how he handles the puck and makes decisions with puck. Definitely penciled in as 3rd LD next season based on play.

 

[CheldishGamibno]

Glad to see him on the PP, it's incredible the difference between MSL hockey and all the old dinosaurs or mumblers we've had before. You play well, you get icetime and special units time, doesn't matter if you're a rookie or not.

And as a result, he's got an assist on a great shot.

 

[DramaticGloveSave]

Funny how we’ve brought in so many guys to try and bring a little offence from the backend and this dude comes in and does it out of nowhere. Has good ability, but more than that just seems to make the right decision.

His poise is the most impressive, it's like he's been in the league for years.

 

[Hostile Offer]

He's most likely just another Wideman in the making but doesn't look out of place at all in his role which is good to see.

 

[Spearmint Rhino]

Don’t know what to do when I see a Habs D move laterally at the blue line to avoid drilling the defender in the shin pads, Petry used to do it but has since pretty much stopped.

 

[Natey]

I'd sign offer him 3 years / $3.75M right now. One way deal. Not much risk for us, and he's basically getting a $900,000K raise since in the minors he was only making $175,000.

What? Wideman is a PPQB and not much else. Schueneman is much better defensively. He's much more like Kulak than Wideman.

 

[Scintillating10]

Schueneman done really well. Looks like he has long career ahead of him. Never heard of him until this season. Just 2 years ago he was in ECHL. A 27 year old career minor leaguer. Don't know if this has ever happened before.

Of course not! he's 26 now.

 

[MrNasty]

Pretty good for an undrafted free agent. Calgary had him briefly a couple years ago. He does not look out of place at all as a depth NHL guy.

To be fair, it looks like the ECHL was a conditioning stint.

 

[ginomini]

I just watched the recap from yesterday's game on Youtube and I swear this guy was in all the clips they picked, as if he was involved in every single positive play from the habs yesterday.

Just from highlights he seems to make very good quick decisions with the puck. That generally is one of the most important and underrated skill for a dman.

 

[tooji]

He seems to consistently hit about 0.5 ppg in every league he’s played in. Would be cool to see him carry that trend to the NHL

 

[A55P2]

I've also thought about that. It's an interesting trend for sure. Seems like he's prioritizing playing good defense over points. Never overcomits offensively but gets his fair share of point nonetheless.

Another important skill for a Dman is to win battles in the corner and win positioning in front of the net.

We'll see if he's able to do those things.

But I really like his play with the puck.

 

[BozoTheClown]

He is definitely someone I want back. He’s shown better poise and consistency than Clague. He won’t clear waive next year.

 

[Destopcorner]

This guy won me over. The way he handle the pressure/forechek is a thing of beauty. He's slippery and knows how to use every inch of his body to protect the puck. Sure he has the occasional brainfart but there is no pressure in his game, he's just smooth sailing it right now

 

[26Mats]

Yes. He's great with the puck.

What a lo so remains to be seen is if he can handle forwards physically in front of the bet and in the corners. I think that will determine his effectiveness as an NHL D.

 

[TannedBum]

He's also able to successfully deliver a quick and easy pass. Something that is a complete impossibility for Petry, for example.

 

[schwang26]

I've watched him since he started in Laval. He's pretty good positional but he's not physical. I've never seen him be that effective physically in front of the net. He's not that big. He plays more of a smart, positional sound game. Belpidio (in Laval) is similar offensively and skating wise, but much more physical.
