Justin Carbonneau (#2025NHLDraft) has that ability to just take over games on his own. It's still a work in progress, but sequences like these make you wonder how high he'll soar.

Ridiculous skill and dynamism. #QMJHL

Rim plays are such cop-outs. The Habs are over reliant on them, and Adin Hill is snatching up every single one of them tonight.

It’s easy to blame Dach, Slaf, and Caufield on the last three goals, but why are they in a position to make costly defensive mistakes in the 1st place?

If you’re wondering how my caffeine-fueled morning is doing:

I accidentally said β€œLick Nardis” while trying to record an episode of the podcast and we had to take three minutes to compose ourselves before restarting. #Blackhawks

I’d say 12th for me, personally. He’s awesome, but there are safer picks.

I thought so at first, but no. Funnily enough, there are two Carbonneaus in Blainville, both not related either.

Yeah... Justin Carbonneau is really like that.

2nd of the game for Carbo, and it's a beauty. #2025NHLDraft

I’ve never seen more slap shots in a single game than I’ve seen tonight.

The Habs know Shea Weber’s watching.

Gavin McKenna has a 6-point cushion atop the WHL scoring race.

He has 22 more points than the next best '26 eligible skater.

Kid's good.

At this stage, it’s clear the Habs aren’t going to have a bounce back.

If I were the GM, I’d start experimenting. Call up Simoneau, Davidson, Roy, Beck, EngstrΓΆm in rotation. Give them looks. See what they’ve got to give.

What do they have to lose that they aren’t already losing?

His skating’s a setback for sure, but it’s not *awful*. He generates power through his strides and occasionally throws in a crossover. He’s just not going to be evasive. It’s all about how he works around that.

Tyler Thorpe doesn’t get enough love for my liking. Massive, skillful, surprisingly coordinated.

Oh, and Owen Protz is still just ragdolling guys in Brantford.

Yup. That’s me. You’re probably wondering how I got into this situation

It’ll be perpetually hilarious that so many of us were like β€œwait til Lane Hutson gets to the NHL and finally has someone who can finish the scoring chances he creates”

Completely forgetting the current state of the Montreal Canadiens

Per Jeff Marek on the other app, Beijing-born 6’6 OJHL defenceman Haoxi Wang is meeting with the Oshawa Generals to potentially join their ranks.

Boston University commit. The new CHL-NCAA agreement is already shaking the game up in massive ways. #2025NHLDraft

Good question! I think he’ll be a FA signing rather than a draft pick. He’s one of the top candidates for one out of the CHL. Dynamic in goal, smart, great reflexes. Size be damned, he’s good.

The shot, and what I saw last year/at the Hlinka. I still believe the energetic, dynamic version I saw then is there somewhere. He’s frustrating, though.

100%. He used to look absolutely lost in his own zone last year. He’s now keeping up with rotations, making the right decisions when defending the rush… much, much better.

14.11.2024 19:37 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

He’s been pretty ordinary this year, but he’s still a phenomenal skater with great blue-line vision and manipulation skills. Improving D and physical game. Very raw.
