Post-Game Talk: Habs beat Sens 3-2, Scherbust Edition

[Shaby23]

First 3 stars got 0pts total in a 3-2 wins. I know it's pre-season, but what the f***

 

[Fazkovsky]

Wait, Shinkaruk played!?

Yes he is fast

Man drouin is good and armia is indeed 3rd line

 

[JianYang]

Juulsen really struggled in the 2nd half of this game. I know we are short on D, but he looks like someone who can still benefit from the ahl. The consistency isn't quite there yet.

 

[Adam Michaels]

It took them a while to get into it as the Sens' young guys were hustling and causing the Habs some issues trying to establish themselves. But once they got going, they took over the game.

 

[1909]

A way better camp overall than last year's fiasco.

 

[Tyson]

Tatar, Drouin, Kotkaniemi and Rielly all impressed me. Gallagher looking great as usual. I think Ward should be signed.

Can’t help but like Ward. Total pro

 

[OldCraig71]

Just wondering, has anyone compared Kotkaniemi to Bobby Smith?

Just wondering, has anyone compared Kotkaniemi to Bobby Smith?

Yep, it's been mentioned. It's the lankiness and jersey number.

Yeah I would not rush him quite yet

That's gonna happen with any young players. Habs don't have the luxury to send him down to AHL level. And that sucks.

 

[HockeyDBspecialist]

What happened with Scherby ? I missed the game...
I even saw his goal

Can't even meme about the preseason anymore

Kotkaniemi is amazing

Yes and Kotkaniemi is just 18....Brady Tkachuk is 19.

 

[CauZuki]

Just wondering, has anyone compared Kotkaniemi to Bobby Smith?

I personally think he is closer to a Finnish Bobby Smith just my unique and humble opinion...

 

[Tyson]

They can send him down, he is not that valuable.

People trashing him most of the game, RDS included.

 

[26Mats]

In my book, we've got 2 extra wingers and 1 extra center:

Drouin Kotkaniemi Domi
Tatar Danault Gallagher
Byron Peca Scherbak
Lehkonen DLR Armia
Hudon Plekanec Shinkaruk

Hard puzzle to solve to get everyone in. Hopefully Shinkaruk can squeak through waivers.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Well, well, well.

 

[Tyson]

We were all over the map tonight as posters. One shift he looks great, then he struggles, then he scores. Some have him making the team, some have written him off. He is a project worth keeping. He makes the team.

Trade for a top 4 Left D please

 

[JianYang]

You find a way to send him down. I fear he's a top 4 potential who might never make it there if he keeps getting exposed today in the NHL.

Give him lots of icetime in the ahl, and build him up mentally. That's the best route right now for him to realize his top 4 potential in the long run.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Yes and Kotkaniemi is just 18....Brady Tkachuk is 19.

Aside from scoring a goal, din't notice Tkachuk all that much until the 3rd period and Armia knocked him on his ass.

Kotkaniemi was noticeable all game long, particularly with his 3 posts and setting guys up.

No doubt in my mind he does. You get dozens of Shinkaruk every year on waivers.

Shaw will be back soon and I think Bergevin signs Ward
