Habs Season Thread: 2024-25 Regular Season

I mean, there is progression, he’s been generating 2-3 great chances per game lately, where was that before. He’s been hitting a few posts. With just a few adjustments maybe he’s on the verge of a breakout.

Exactement

I think you're conflating progression with second line center usage.

Newhook centering the 3rd line I have zero issues with. But we need a plug-n-play 2C.

No

 

[Krustchev]

Protas and Marchenko did not much in the NHL until they turned 24. Just sayin’

 

[Habsy]

No

Yes because it's what I think.

I agree

He’s just been better at center, but he’s been getting confidence. Can’t really complain about his play lately, that’s more than we’ve seen from Dach all year.

He is what he is a faster Jan Bulis.

He’s better than Bulis.

 

[Habsy]

He’s better than Bulis.

Jan Bulis -.44 ppg
Alex Newhook -.43 ppg

PPG is just one benchmark. Bob Gainey was .43 too. You must think Bulis and him were the same.

Bulis was better defensively than Newhook is now. He used his speed to get break after break only to hit post or crest or glass.

Newhook is Bulis reincarnated.

Believe what you want to.

Always do

Jan Bulis

 

[Habsy]

Heck even their TOI is comparable

I don’t think he is what he is yet. But I’m an optimist.
