One and done. Was someone hurt, or was this just more of a goodwill act? Primeau's dad is probaby best known for being a flyer.
Pretty funny reading judgements on Farrell already as well.
All in All it was a very classy gesture giving him a start in Philly. Stuff like this gets noticed by players. I'm not sure what the furture holds for Primeau but I do like the little things our management group are taking care of. Attention to detail off the ice demands attention to detail on the ice.
Giving him a real C would be a huge help too......................Drou goes out to the wing and there is no one in the middle of the ice for the habs....the guy has zero clue what to do as a C...............

In all fairness, Drouin was probably hoping that the kid could mentor him because he is completely clueless as a center.
Drouin is really not that bad lately. He played well at center during Dach's absence and he is one of our best point producer in the last month or so.

One / first NHL game is much too early to come to conclusions on anything.
General observations:
Farrell looked like a real midget amongst men last night - got bounced around quite a bit in high danger areas. Probably best served to get a half season of reps down in Laval to re-evaluate. As expected his board play is a weakness, but that’s what development time is there to help address

It certainly looks like he would benefit from playing in the AHL for a year.
NCAA to pro is a jump for some.
Thought he did ok last night, but just ok. MSL had good things to say....

I agree honestly. Armia 2.0. Does something nice every once in a while but otherwise is a total ghost. We have too many players in the mix as it is, I'd rather allocate the cap to another Monahan style move for assets.

I thought his skating was quick rather than fast. Something to build on as he gets stronger.

I want to see him with Dach before I am ready to say that. Every shift that line was on we were stuck in our zone, the kid was forced to be looking back at his goalie from the boards while Drouin was figuring out where he should be and Gurianov was in the same situation. Playing center in the NHL is very tough and it takes a certain skill that Drouin does not possess. That line had no flow, no coordinated breakout, it had nothing. MSL should have given Farrell a few shifts with Suzuki, it's not like we are trying to make the playoffs.
He didn't really get a shot to show anything playing with Drouin, it was survival mode all night.
Let's hope the kid plays vs FLA tomorrow night, on a different line........poor Drou is lost these days.

He’s done well points wise but it’s the clearest case of too little too late you can ask for

After playing 30 minutes the night before, Matheson showed that he is indeed mortal. He will be a key player for us going forward. Hopefully with Guhle returning next year, MSL won’t have to play Matheson as much.
Still one of our best trades over the past three decades.

24 of those games he was on the wing.......................
He has no idea how to play C Did you actually watch Drou last night? Pathetic.....
Would it be ok to mention he has two goals in his last what? 60 games?
He has zero PP goals in over 3 calendar years? And he has been a minus hockey player for 6 years with the habs....let's not cherry pick here, it does not serve anyone well.
It was a terrible decision to put him at C with a kid like Farrell for his first game....
The End is Near................

Drouin has been playing center for like the last 20 games.
You're literally the one cherry-picking here. What does the last 6 years or 3 calendar years have to do with anything? Drouin has been one of the most productive players on the habs in the past several weeks. Farrell should be playing with good offensive talent, and Drouin is that.
LOL...........................ok if you say so.
6 years
20 games ( And he hasn't been ) Drou is a winger....taking a few face offs eh....he's a C now? LOL
I don't think you know what cherry picking is.....................
Cheers man....

If they do, it’s only out of self-interest. When the Habs are not vying for the playoffs, it hurts their bottom line.
