GDT: Rookie Showdown: Montreal Canadiens vs. Winnipeg Jets (7PM on RDS.ca, TSN.ca)

[Milhouse40]

I really like Harvey-Pinard and Hillis.

I see good things from Suzuki but I don't think these kinds of games shows the best out of him.

Poehling looks half asleep.

Evans need some seasoning in the AHL.

Jets do a good job of boxing people out.

A ton of broken plays, its a bit painful to watch. I hope nobody gets hurt.

Poehling has a very minor injury (hand) and i'm pretty sure that's why he's not pushing it

 

[Goldenhands]

your math is a little off, Brook is 15 months older then Fairbrother.

Yeah my bad, they still have 2 drafts separating from each others, what still makes Fairbrothers' showing very impressive...

 

[Vachon23]

I will pay attention to Fairbrother this year, really like what I see from him

That's to be expected from Poehling and Suzuki in particular. I don't expect them to really go out there and give too much effort in a game like this.

 

[Fixxer]

This isn't the first time we watch September hockey. So we know chemistry and execution are two things that are lacking at this time of year.

It's only my 2nd time lol
Yeah, it's mostly for these guys to show what they can do. An opportunity to show where you're at.

 

[montreal]

Hillis is another guy that has really upgraded his skating big time. It used to be one of his weaker points.

I might be mixing them up but I believe McCarron hired the same skating coach as Hillis used last year after the draft. Either way it's paid off for both.

Fairbrother and Fleury are looking good tonight. Hopefully Fairbrother gets invited to the main camp

I'm would think he's very likely going to the main camp.

 

[Whitesnake]

Will RHP earn a contract already?

 

[Goldenhands]

You are right, decent prospect pool wont show for at least another season

At least our next pick should be pretty high considering how improved some teams are, fortunately for us, its going to be a strong strong draft and you never know with the lottery...

 

[Habs Icing]

You know he's not playing right?

Yes he is.

 

[CaptCrunch]

Poehling has a very minor injury (hand) and i'm pretty sure that's why he's not pushing it

Ok, thanks. That explains it then. A lot of dirty play I find. No need to push it...

 

[Adam Michaels]

Will RHP earn a contract already?

He looks like he's definitely making them think about it. But I hope it's an AHL deal. Because if it's an ELC and they end up sending him back to Junior, his contract won't slide. This way, he also won't count against the 50.

 

[Drew4u]

Poehling's speed has really been noticeable over the last 2 games.

 

[CaptCrunch]

That's to be expected from Poehling and Suzuki in particular. I don't expect them to really go out there and give too much effort in a game like this.

Yeah, they look like they are waiting for the main camp.

 

[Goldenhands]

I'm would think he's very likely going to the main camp.

Habs have a tendency to cut their last draft classes pretty quickly from camps outside from the first round picks, so I wouldnt be surprised if Fairbrother was cut early too unless he really keeps playing that well...

I bet he gets a preseason game though. Brook did last year and was cut right after.

 

[Habs Icing]

McShane looking bad. No energy. Frankly, as great as this pool is, clearly, the best is away 'cause there are so many I wouldn't invite to the main camp. Brook doesn'T deserve an invitation at all. Fleury does much more than him. It's Primeau, Poehling, Suzuki and Fleury. That's it. Not sure what the big fuss is all about as far as Leskinen is concerned.

And Evans

 

[JuJu Mobb]

No. 64 is having a tough game.

 

[DangerDave]

haven's seen zuke this period. Hope hes OK after that knee

 

[Roadhouse]

haven's seen zuke this period. Hope hes OK after that knee

He looks fine now..

 

[Tyson]

It seems Fleury is always on the ice

 

[DangerDave]

He looks fine now..

Yeah I think he's alright. He just missed a couple shifts to start the period.

 

[Hfbsux]

Poehling has a very minor injury (hand) and i'm pretty sure that's why he's not pushing it

Yeah I've seen him going to the bench crouched up after someone kind hit him after he made a pass to his dman in neutral zone. It was just before the 2nd period ended in yesterday's game.

 

[De Montreal]

It's really a shame Joel Teasdale got hurt. I bet he would've excelled there.

 

[Milhouse40]

Red some place that he receive a puck on the hand...not injured, but a good bruise.

 

[SwiftyHab]

Poehling playing like a beast on that last shift now that he’s split up from Suzuki.
