Pino10 Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Why didn’t chucky get the assist. I knew drafting him 3rd overall would finally pay off. We’re going to game 7 baby!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Habs Fan in Edmonton Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Just great to see the kids click like that, the Pacioretty trade is looking better all the time. That play said a lot about Caulfield. It said that he doesn't need to be the hero, that he will make the right hockey play and he is a team guy. Love it. I can see why the coaches never liked Galchenyuk, brain dead play in overtime but we will take it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanpuck33 Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 I don't know which was more shocking - having a three goal lead or winning after blowing said three goal lead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDriveFor25 Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 2,500 in the stands tomorrow night, with some of that being family of the players.. if that doesn’t motivate them to start fast and play well I don’t know what will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Price’s social media feed made a big deal about coming back home to play for “OUR FANS,” and while that was probably pumped out by the Habs’ PR people, it likely does capture how the players feel. They absolutely will draw energy from that. You can imagine a scenario where the Habs, pumped by the OT win and jacked up by the return of even a small crowd to the Bell Centre, really bring their A-game and manage to eke out a win...at which point the Leafs start hearing the footsteps of their own doom, with the trauma of past playoff collapses resounding in their ears. While I still think the smart money is on the Leafs to win Game 6, that’s a fun scenario to contemplate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was feeling impending doom since the blown lead, but with OT Caulfield on the ice, I was on my feet. No doubt. One thing I really noticed after watching the replay of the goal (I watched it many times) is Caulfield's great anticipation. When Galchenyuk got the puck , Caulfield moved up toward the blueline closer to the defencemen like he knew that Galchenyuk was going to throw it across. Great anticipation, timed it perfectly, great hockey IQ, you can't teach that. Then me made the right play by passing, not needing to be a hero. That play said a lot about Caulfield. He will make many big plays for the Habs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Alfredo is talking about careers damaged/destroyed by injuries. And that's always a risk. We could also add Ikonen to the list, even if he never made it to this side of the pond before being struck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commandant Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 2 hours ago, alfredoh2009 said: I just hope he does not end up like Bournival, Blake Geoffrion or Juulsen Bournival was a third round pick, Geoffrion a 2nd, and Juulsen a defensive D, taken in the mid 20s of the first round. Caufield was drafted much higher. His pedigree is also better. There is a big difference in winning the Hobey Baker as a 19 year old sophomore, and winning it as a 22 year old like Geoffrion. So much more is expected of him than any of those guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Promising prospects (Blake had won the Hobby Baker if I am not mistaken) I remember Habs coaching telling Bourny to just skate, skate like the wind.... I like Caufield, I am impressed on how well he plays; but concerned for his future if the past is any warrant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Injuries can hit anyone, there is no more reason to be concerned by his injuries than anyone elses. And other teams have prospects ruined by injuries too.

But like a “Smart” car vs an “F150” truck, the potential for injury is greater Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
