Player Discussion Victor Mete

[ProspectsFanatic]

Didn't see that elsewhere, that's something else, the kind of situation I hope will happen the 'right way' in the near future, kids growing together in the team.

The reason why especially is because they have to share a hotel room on the road because they are on an ECL which forces them to spend a lot of time together.

Mete scores tonight.

 

[L4br3cqu3]

Won't be winning any noble prize soon.lol

 

[DangerDave]

Something Ricky from Trailer Park Boys would say lmao.

I'm sorry but he looks better than PK did at the same age. Not saying he'll be as good but I can't believe how underrated he is. No way I think Juulsen's the better young player. He's like a 4th forward out there. Best is yet to come. If he works on his shot than he's a first pairing D no question. Even without it he creates so much.

 

[HBDay]

Watching mete play defense is such a pleasure. He is legitamtley very good at playing defense, whether the offense comes or not, he is good enough to survive without it.

 

[DesmondDekker]

Mete scores tonight.

He is getting tons of quality chances, it’s only a matter of time before he gets his first. And man will it ever feel good!

 

[ottawa]

I feel like the flood gates will open when he scores his 1st goal and he'll go on a tear and finish the season with 2 goals.

Like Riley Sheahan a few years ago? 80 straight games without a goal and then two goals in the same game. Too bad the season ended there lol.

Seriously though, Mete has a poor shot but he's had a few good looks because he knows when to join the rush. It's getting pretty ridiculous that he still hasn't scored.

 

[TheBuriedHab]

Honestly to me he's cemented himself as Webers partner. Even if he doesn't put up points his skating is such a weapon. He's taken the next step that I was hoping to see this season and he continues to get more confident.

1st bolded explains the 2nd.

he had enough chances already that with a below average shot he'd had a few already. Shot is just soooo bad.

Literally anyone can score from some of the chances he's had. He's having really bad luck. But yes, shooting ability matters as well.

 

[A Loyal Dog]

I kind of hope Mete's 1st goal happens against Toronto in Game 7 Overtime. Would be the best thing ever.

 

[G0bias]

I'm sorry but he looks better than PK did at the same age. .

Real talk, even if I wished they'd let him work a little longer with Bouchard, you can tell the stint has helped his game. He's playing with alot more confidence.

 

[le_sean]

I hope he has a Hall of Fame career and scores his only goal in his 1,500th game.

 

[danyhabsfan]

He helps Weber a lot with his speed cause the game is fast for big Shea Weber.

 

[DangerDave]

He's excellent at pretty much every aspect of the game except I've seen a better shot in atom house league.

Seriously though. Work on that and he'll be a star in the league. He can be better than Krug if he does that.

 

[Brainiac]

I've said it so many times, but its still pretty much relevant:

Habs need to hire a shooting coach (or at least a specialist, former sniper whatever). And have some of our guys work a little extra on that aspect of their game.

 

[ahmedou]

The lack of goals doesnt bothers me compared to what he brings. Using other tools on his pocket.

 

[dackelljuneaubulis02]

Yeah I thought it was silly they brought him back early because I was thrilled he was going to Laval.

But man I'm just shocked at how underrated he is just because he can't score a goal.

I'm going to go out on a HUGE limb but I think if he can get significantly stronger and develop at least a passable shot he can be a #1. I was just beyond impressed with what he was creating out there.

The more I see out of our young D/D prospects I think he's the best and I like Brook and Romanov a lot. I like Juulsen but I have no idea why some have him a head of Mete. If he plays like he did last night with any reasonable amount of consistency then we're talking an Elite D man here. Maybe Brook and/or Romanov can be better but it's not self evident to me. And my god if they can then our future Blue line is looking pretty great.

 

[AlexGretzchenvid]

Mete came soooo close yesterday a few times. Hes so poised too. When domi connected cross crease with mete.. Mete could have shot but fed the man in the slot. What a player. I think hes finnaly starting to work on his offence now that his defensive confidence has taken off. Mete you can do it againzt toronto! We all believe in you!

 

[Belial]

He looks great out there, clearly playing with a ton of confidence.

The whole team does actually!

 

[dcal64]

As an 18 year-old, he scored 15 goals in 50 games for London in the OHL, he can score, he just needs a bit of puck luck and Shaw not to interfere with the goalie to get the first one and then get in going.

on one of the shots I saw last night I'm surprised that it actually had a bit of zip in it. Nothing incredible but good for him. I think it's something that can be improved. If he can get it to a workable level then he's going to be absolutely dynamite.
