Top Six Minutes: Joel Armia gets winner versus Colorado again (habseyesontheprize.com)
Newhook may end up being a centre?
Gallagher was never quick and has lost 1/2 step but still doing good work around the net, Armia is showing off his puck skills and overpowering d-men on the forecheck, 2nd line doing fine (would be better if they were the 3rd line) and gave the Aves trouble.
I think Guhle was on most (all?) of time vs Mackinnon, fun test and GUhle almost got close up view of highlight backhand goal, Mackinnon is a pretty quick and strong player.
Had odd feeling when Xhekaj tossed poor Lehkonen to the ice, he was a good Hab.
-
2 points no good, but solid win to finish off road trip.
-
SH goal for Mackinnon coming right up?
Or can the Habs PP finish off the victory.
-
The big kid tossing his weight around, good for him.
Newhook 9/11 on faceoffs.
-
Slafkovski 1a.
Armia with his 12th & 3 shots, he is still playing well,nice bounce back for him from Laval and would be a bonus if he can do the same next season.
Newhook 6/7 on faceoffs.
Poor Pezzetta just 1:32.
-
Well... not the best start.
Looked like everyone but Guhle flew the zone.
Good work Captain!
-
Montembeault is gonna get a workout.

I know ... bad phrasing ... I was extending it to Florian.
Florian is just 19, assume he will play 1 more year in the OHL, wont he?

Well, Habs beat the Aves in Jan., wonder what odds are they will do it again.
On paper, looks pretty one-sided.

Long-term, Reinbacher/Hughes ...
Which one Quinn or Luke?

"...Tweaking these things in small ways that make him more effective — teaching him how to blend fakes and look-offs into his passes, helping him learn to hide his intentions offensively, and more — is the way forward to unlocking 40- to 50-point upside. And that’s where Lane Hutson comes in."

Lots of positives...

Darn shame KK is the 14th highest scorer... on Carolina.
Smug smartass Carolina owner likely not so pleased with that deal.

Wheeler has 11 prospects in his "tier 2", ranked from 2 to 12, seems like there are many options at a fairly similar level once you get past Celebrini.
Yes, is going to be very hard to predict and ranking are all over the map after 1st.
I'm not going to get excited about any prospects
Why not, dosent cost anything?

I assume you mean his signing a PTO ... is Florian certain enough of getting an NHL contract that he would decline such an offer, or might he also want to "show his wares" if he is eliminated early enough to warrant an offer?
dlbalr was talking about Guindon, not Xhekaj
-
Another draft ranking, Wheeler's;
(Seems he likes Eiserman more than most, i do hope some other team takes him and not the Habs)

Quinn Hughes on being small offensive d-man going form NCAA to NHL.
“I figure why you’re asking, but I’m sure he’ll figure it out and he’ll be fine.”
"He, of course, is Canadiens prospect Lane Hutson, a similarly undersized offensive defenceman currently completing his season at Boston University. Hutson’s name was never mentioned to Hughes, but he had no problem identifying the reason behind the question. Hutson has been compared to Hughes for years, and Hughes clearly knows it."
“Right away, for the most part, I think I felt very confident. My first year couldn’t have gone better. I had a great season, and the second year, we struggled. I thought my third fourth and then this year have been really good. It’s just about building,” Hughes said. “Lane’s going to … it’s not about how good he is at 20 or 21, it’s about how good he is at 25, 26. I tell my brother Luke that, focus on one foot in front of the other, and he’s having a great year, too, but just keep grinding so that at 23, 24 you can say you’re one of the best in the league."

Can Bogdan skate at NHL speed? Seems biggest questionmark.

Ylonen with 4 shots and bit more icetime.
Slaf's last few games, producing vs some good teams..

Caufield backchecking hard was great to see.
21:57 for Slafkovski, all the icetime cant hurt his development and confidence.
