Post-Game Talk: Sens knock Habs 4-2

[The Waffler]

It hink the only reason Tinordi has a job is because his name is close to "NORDIQUE" so his name subliminally resonates with a french fanbase. Montreal had no choice but to give him a job. Just like Louis Leblanc.

Yeah...but Habs and Nordiques fans hated each other.

For the record, I predict Mika WILL be a 25/35 type player. (Think Voracek)

Lazar Low End: Dubinsky, High End: Ladd

Both important players.

That's a great comparison (Voracek).

I've always found they play alike, they even skate similar, and they have the same number.

 

[Burrowsaurus]

No you didn't i called it in the prospect board....

Been calling it for 3 years. No one can take this prediction away from me.

Nah, it's because he's over 6ft.

His dad was ok.

I think he ends up a notch above Ladd .

I think lazar is gonna do better with the puck than people think. Will make plays below the hashmarks. Wouldn't be surprised if he excels below the hash marks.

Hey, any inside info on any trades or the Methot negotiations?

Negative.

I only get stuff when contracts are being drawn up, and apparently they've drawn up almost 10 of ten of them total for Methot.

When it comes to trades, I'm a little less reliable, as usually it has to travel down the latter quite a bit before I hear anything.

I can say this about Methot though...

They weren't very happy about his commitment to the team last season.

As in he wanted to be traded? Or he didn't work hard this offseason?

 

[God Says No]

I think he's implying his off ice antics.

Yes.

For some reason Habs fans think he is the next Bob Probert. Too bad he can't play hockey. Habs Fans think they need an enforcer not knowing that you need tough players instead.

One tough guy doesn't make up for a team full of divers.

Yeah that, and he's in the same boat as Cowen. He's a big D. Those take time to develop. On the other hand, he's looked terrible every time I've watched him. I really hope he makes the team and plays for them this year. Him and Gilbert will take down the scabs.

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

ZBad is basically already a 20-20 guy if you look at his paces. Slightly under.

You think he'll just be able to add 10 assists to that once he fully develops?

He's still bitter over losing Spezza.

Wait til Karlsson has a bad regular season game, then you'll see the venom really fly from that poster.

Remember when some Hab fans said Tinordi would be a top 2-3 prospect on our pool? Lol, good times this offseason was.

In terms of defensemen alone he most certainly would be, if not #1.

I like to think my prospect threads caused just a little increase in the rivalry between the two fan groups

 

[Sensinitis]

"In terms of defensemen" cuts down the list quite a bit.

Even then, I suspect all our Swedes will be better.

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

Yes, Vesa, haha. Although it was an obvious thread. No way in seven heavens is Habs prospect pool better than ours. Sens get underrated in almost everything unless we fight through hell to garner respect(2012-2013 season)

In terms of defensemen alone he most certainly would be, if not #1.

Not defenders. And no he wouldn't, lol. Unless you not counting Ceci.

Ceci
Claesson
Possibly Vikstrand I'd pick ahead of him. Tinordi is ridiculously overrated.

 

[Sensinitis]

Englund too.

 

[SaltyPete]

Englund too.

This seems like a bit of a stretch, I'd wait to see him up against similar competition to Tinordi before making a statement like that

 

[Sensinitis]

I have a feeling

Our scouts + Dorion + Murray were really high on him.

 

[Hale The Villain]

I actually don't mind Tinordi. I like my shutdown D to be big, mobile and mean, and Tinordi has all three qualities. He's like Cowen, but with less upside. He'll develop into a solid defenseman, but like most giant D coming out of junior he needs a bit more time.

I'd take him over Claesson and Wikstrand, but I agree he wouldn't be a top 3 prospect in our pool. Our pool is quite underrated around HF; not a lot of household names but I see a lot of NHLers in our pool.

Tinordi arguably has even less puck skills than Cowen. Not that he needs to make slick passes like karlsson to be a top 4 defender but i could see that being a factor in him getting more ice time unless he develops that part of his game.

I'm not counting Ceci. He's a full time NHLer. He would be the clear cut #1, obviously.

But there's no reason why Claesson and Wikstrand would be slotted ahead of Tinordi, at this point. That's not to say they can't be better than him in the future. But while he hasn't exactly panned out yet, he has some NHL experience already, which is more than what Claesson and Wikstrand has. Tinordi is only 22 as well. Still plenty of room to grow.
