[ashnathan]

When is he making the trip over from Florida? woof.

He needs to be on a line with Bergeron to be effective.

Bergeron's line is an offensive-zone board possession line and that is the only context in which I can see Hayes being successful.

 

[LouJersey]

RS18 currently out scoring the entire third line combined...

 

[LSCII]

Guy is rubbish and has been all along. Glorified 4th liner being used on our third line. ****ing disgraceful the team they're icing this year, and Hayes is a prime example of how flawed their plan is. You say you want to get faster, more skilled, and quick strike counter attacks, and you bring in Connolly, Beleskey, and Hayes? How does that fit into any of the previously mentioned skills? Hayes is slow as ****, doesn't use his size to his advantage, and is a finesse player despite having no offensive upside. Disgrace.

 

[KrejciMVP]

I'd rather Riley Smith and all his warts

 

[Shaun]

hes from dorchester though and is boston strong that doesn't show up on the scoreboard

 

[Patrice Krejci*]

Guy is awful, he's Chris Kelly but bigger and slower.

 

[Patrice Krejci*]

And worse defensively

 

[RedeyeRocketeer]

Florida fans warned us...

 

[Patrice Krejci*]

You can put Hayes in the Hamilton section of Sweeney moved.

 

[BigBadBruins63*]

Soft as puppy poo.

 

[Mogo]

Florida fans warned us...

Yes, we did

 

[Patrice Krejci*]

I don't think I've seen him check one person...

 

[oOwlCat]

I've never understood why he doesn't try to use his body to separate people from pucks. Very frustrating to watch his frame being wasted.

I don't remember him making a single hit with the Panthers. Kristian Kudroc or forwards

 

[Dellstrom]

I literally have not noticed him at all. Heard his name once or twice when he cleared the puck into the neutral zone.

Smith didn't do much of anything but at least he let you know he was in attendance once or twice a game.

Reilly Smith sighting" how i miss typing that right now haha

 

[Kaoz]

And people expected?

 

[Fire Sweeney]

Hayes is good in front of the net, that's it. That's not gonna happen in this system and with these linemates.

 

[Patrice Krejci*]

And people expected?

Someone that could screen the goalie on the cycle, pot tip ins and garbage goals. Use his body to not rock people but to pin and keep the puck away in the corners. I don't think I've seen him go below the dots once....

 

[bolt thrower]

He literally did nothing for the first three games, nada.

 

[Cronuss]

I feel that I've seen flashes of good stuff from him. The problem is, he isn't being used correctly, or being put into a position to succeed.

He got most of his goals last year by mucking in front of the net. Yet he is playing with a skating, North/South, play-making line. Bad fit.

I do think he is faster than he seems, and has decent overall ability. He needs to work on his shot, though.

 

[CanadianPantherFan]

Yes, we did

+1000000000. And opinions were disregarded. I've watched and called a lot of hockey in my days ladies and gents.

I liked the way Connolly played today .

 

[TimThomas24]

Reminds me of Blake Wheeler when Blake Wheeler sucked. That is not a compliment either hopefully he can turn it around because he's the worst kind of player IMO..big & soft. Figure it out squid.
