Yeah this all sounds good n elite but according to you it doesn't matter all this scoring so what's all the talk about???
Iâm going to look at the schedule and try to catch Kelowna at Medicine Hat this season. Just a quick jaunt from Cowberry. Canât wait!
Mailloux is over-rated. He is very average. Nothing to write home about.
When it comes to going from Junior to NCAA. who makes the decision? The player? The agent?
Couple months ago , I said that Pickford made everyone better with the tigers last year , people laughed at me , I actually watch a lot of his games live and I knew this guy was the best player on his allstar team . Now that all the so called all stars are struggling everywhere else and Pickford is destroying records by himself , now people are like ? I even have a Pickford jersey.
A lot of you only see the stats and always assume that the other guys around certain players are making him better , Pickford Was and is the best player on his team
The best part is , his offensive side wasnât the most impressive side last year , this guy is physical and controls the pace of the game, he looked like a Sanderson type player last season
Parek is a one trick pony , Pickford hits and plays in all situations
Montreal should just trade all their first rounders for 2nd and 3rd rounders as they struggle in the first round but draft really well in the next twođ
Beck , Hutson , Pickford , Zharovsky, Fowler, engstrom , Kapanen
Another player I think the habs should give a chance to is Farrell , this guy might be small but heâs elite passer , I think he would be amazing on the top two lines in Montreal , but Montreal have way too many players and way too much congestion
Is this a case of a big fish in a small pond?
I make my decisions when the player reaches higher levels not before.
Look how many from the AHL become stars in the NHL…Primeau for instance.
Marco, if available to them, should the Habs pick up Berggren off of waivers ??
Had fun to listen to you guys , keep up the good work !
I said the same thing on this channel on draft day. Habs got a steal!
Your right Puckfords release is much better and quicker than Mailloux. Mailloux sliw and telegraphs his shots. Pickford much more variety, precise and quickness. All day pickford. Only thing I would say is Mailloux,s shot is probably heavier as he leans into it.
Great analysis as always Marco.!đ
Would you maybe try him at fwd?!
I know very little about Bryce Pickford but what I've seen, I like. Mobile, great shot, can play physical and mix it up. A great pick!
Top 2 channel to follow for habs hockey! Great content on daily basis! I'd love to chat these guys about hockey!
I think seeing the Montreal canadiens culture and pleasant environnement that this young team of player are in pushes the prospects to be better and want to give stronger performance caus they know that they can be a part of it in a near future. I really enjoy what i am seing for the Habs future.
Pickford should be a perfect add-on for the Habs when he graduates from either the CHL or probably the AHL to the Habs and he will be probably better than Reinbacker because he doesânt look as prone to injuries! If Hughes can get a decent 2nd C trading Reinbacker,I would do it since we have Pickford in the books.
So Why isn't B. PICKFORD on Team Canada ..!??? Come on .!!
Try Pickford at forward.
I hope this young man is the next prodigy on defense
Bobby Orr was 6' foot tall
Also don't forget Bogdan Konyushkov in KHL, another offensive RD
How come whenever defensemen are talked about, a solid prospect like William Trudeau is never even mentioned? I watch Laval online. I can see him playing NHL games.
Boo Schaeffer! I wouldnât hand him the Calder just yet.
