Commandant Posted November 4, 2012 Author Share Posted November 4, 2012 4 point night for Alex GalchenyukIn 3 of his last 5 games he has 3 or more points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DON Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Thats is more like it for AG eh. Bennett up to 9 points in 7 games, he is off to a super start. MacMillan/Kristo starting well also. (i know not a prospect but) Plekanec had 5 point game 2 days ago and now 3 more today (so far), he must like home cooking or something?

DON Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 He likes being treated like a top center and being given the best wingers. After watching the "Galchenyuk highlight show" from yesterday, likely neither Plekanec/Desharnais will be top centre for Habs for much longer, the kid looks quite impressive. But yes, as hard as Tomas works every game and the shut down role he has had to play the last couple years, he likely is allowed much more freedom playing with Jagr and is loving it?

Commandant Posted November 4, 2012 Author Share Posted November 4, 2012 1 goal 2 assists today, still 10:00 left. For the 4th time in his last 6 games, Galchenyuk has scored at least 3 points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Galchenyuk finished with 3 points. Hudon also had a 3 point effort, all assists in a 6-2 win over Drummondville. For those who like watching prospects, the QMJHL Super Series gets underway tomorrow as Team QMJHL and Charles Hudon takes on Russia.

JCPetit Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 4 point night for Alex Galchenyuk In 3 of his last 5 games he has 3 or more points. Holy cow! Really impressive. There's nobody like him in the current Habs line-up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commandant Posted November 5, 2012 Author Share Posted November 5, 2012 Hudon back in the saddle after missing games with a concussion, and being pointless friday in his first game back. In his second game today, he gets 3 assists Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DON Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Whose type/style of game would Galchenyuk be comparable to? Stamkos, Spezza, Perry or maybe Bobby Ryan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commandant Posted November 5, 2012 Author Share Posted November 5, 2012 Whose type/style of game would Galchenyuk be comparable to? Stamkos, Spezza, Perry or maybe Bobby Ryan? I was saying Toews when I saw him as a 16 year old. Now he's added even more dangles to his repertoire. Here's another highlight package. Again, not Gally is currently not playing "centre" on the faceoff, as they have stacked the line by putting him with Sarault.... but when you watch the package, notice that after the faceoff, while the play is going on. Sarault is often in the RW spot and Gally playing the role of centre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Hudon will skate on the 3rd line with Philip Danault and Francis Beauvillier (at least that's who I think it is) in tonight's QMJHL-Russia game. He also will have an 'A' on his jersey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Considering Hudon was covering the Yakupov line and the fact that the 'Q' lost 6-2, an even rating for Hudon has to be considered a good thing. I caught a good chunk of the first two periods, he played quite well and was also utilized on the first PK wave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hudon was among the best players on the Q team, intercepting passes, creating turnovers, creating offence, and generally buzzing all over.

dlbalr Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Over the past few weeks on the site, I've been taking a closer look at how the unsigned prospects have done so far this season. Quite a few are off to strong starts, it makes writing these filler articles a lot more fun. Here's each one for your reading enjoyment: CHL Overseas NCAA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Hudon will skate on the QMJHL's top line tonight alongside Huberdeau and Danault as they try to salvage a split against Russia. That's the good news. The bad news? Tim Bozon has been suspended 1 game by the WHL after receiving a double minor and a double misconduct for spitting (I presume at a player/official) after yesterday's 2-1 loss to Edmonton.

DON Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Hudon played very well, could of used some PP time, defensively he looks very good. Spitting? idiotic thing to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habsfan Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 WOW! I just saw the Galchenyuk highlights. I gotta say, I'm really impressed! This kid has some pretty good hands.

Looking forward to seeing him in a Habs jersey in the next few years! If the NHL gets a deal with the players, I would not be surprised to see Galchenyuk making the line-up for the first game, sometimes in December. It's a big "if" to start with though...

Some positive notes about Vail in a top-10 OHL Most Improved article: http://ohlprospects....12-2013-at.html On the negative side of things, Bozon has just one assist and is -1 over his past 5 games.

Still limited icetime? Maybe Bozon'spitting incident is related to his recent performance And Thrower is just snakebit this year it seems.

dlbalr Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 It may be a lower league for Collberg but it's still a pro (men's) league. 18 year olds don't routinely dominate that level. If he was back in junior and only had two points in six games, I'd admit there would be a bit of cause for concern but the Allsvenskan is still a decent level of competition. I can't seem to find any icetime data for Collberg with Orebro but I'd imagine he's not seeing premium minutes. Collberg has done well in U-20 competitions this year (5 goals already), it's numbers at that level that I'm most interested in. As for Thrower, he's starting to come around...at least he was until he suffered a lower body injury. His total performance is still below expectations but I'm hopeful that he can carry forward his improved play whenever he gets back from that injury (I don't think it's long-term).
