Habs Season Thread: 2024-25 Regular Season

[CH1]

Not the most well rounded kids, however.

It’s like when an interviewer asked Tom Brady what book he last read…. And he was like “uhhhhhh… you mean not football related”

The guy just practiced and watched football tape

Keep him away from Laine

Laine is doing his part.

 

[Habsy]

I just reread A tale of two cities. Pulled my hard covers out of storage and thought, why am I saving these? So I started them up again.

 

[GrandWazoo]

Yeah… it’s definitely becoming a necessity

There was a really interesting documentary about how the most successful athletes were actually multi-sports athletes. Something about hyper-trained focus is no conducive for creativity.

They also have bigger toolboxes.

Yeah. Reminds me of Kobe Bryant who was taking dancing lessons to improve his footwork.

Tiger vs Roger?

Tiger vs Roger?

It was called In Search of Greatness. It got Jordan, Gretzky, Pelé, Rice and Serena in it. It’s ok, but there is some good parts. There was a bit about Gretzky watching games and drawing on a paper where the puck would go and then studying this to know where to go on the ice that blew my mind.

Getting him hooked on video games?!?

Producing offense. Like what 13 points in 12 games since the break?

This was about hobbies though

yeah....that's also true

also Mamba Mentality (which the likes of J Drouin do not possess)

I also think a few athletes think being drafted highly is making it! (with a ton of money arriving so quickly) rather than just the start of something

that explains some of those mind boggling busts

I know. I was just showing some love for the Finnish who finish.

One thing that really sticks out in the documentary is the the mental factor is the biggest part. Some guys have the physical attributes but either don’t know how to read the game, or have the drive to succeed.

Anderson

 

[GrandWazoo]

Anderson

Anderson is a really interesting case. MSL tried to make him his pet project and he started to overthink everything. Simpler is better with him. North-south, pucks deep, finish your checks. He’s very effective when he plays like that. He gets in trouble when he tries to be creative.

 

[Habsy]

Point is his skill set allows for much more. No tool box.

4th round pick despite his size and wheels was a clear indicator Josh was always a long shot project
