Le Tricolore
Boo! BOOOO!
So you're saying it took years for Ribeiro to become... stronger?Actually, it took Ribeiro years to get over his strength and skating issues and establish himself as an NHLer.

And in honor of our favorite local Finn ...
firing their hugely popular (second ever female in Liiga) but in the end incompetent CEO with her fancy champagne bars
His IQ is through the roof but he chooses to go into corners and to the net even though he's physically outmatched. That's "Sisu"...to me at least. Sisu just means not giving up."Sisu" really doesn't come to mind when you think of an elegant player like Kotkaniemi whose hockey IQ is through the roof. "Sisu" is what players like Ville Nieminen and Leo Komarov have. Sisu enables players who aren't that skilled or talented to stay in the NHL for many seasons.

Chucky was 18 when he played his first game, so was Svoboda, but they both turned 19 the following February. So yeah, he could be the youngest.If Kotkaniemi does indeed start the year in Montreal, would he be the youngest player to play for the Habs in the modern era? I would have to think that he's the youngest or one of the youngest. Sergachev, although very young as well, was a couple of weeks older than him.

Ribeiro also had other issues that could have prolonged his development.Actually, it took Ribeiro years to get over his strength and skating issues and establish himself as an NHLer.
Don't remind us.Indeed! Looks like Tremblay was a couple of weeks younger than Kotkaniemi will be if he plays on October 3rd. Now, it just depends on what your definition of "Modern era" is as this was still 44 years ago.

Remember when he was a bust because of his play in the prospect tournament?
Now everyone is arguing to have him stay all year.
In all honesty, his play in prospect tournement wasn't encouraging.
But godamn the improvement is making everytime he's on the ice. IQ of the charts.
