I was in section 23, too bad. Will be at game on 23rd vs Colorado college
Yes, good mobility for a guy that big. I definitely see a higher ceiling for him than Harris . . . but that’s based on a one game observation.
Brindy’s son plays for Quinnipiac. St. Louis’ son didn’t play more than a couple shifts. We played against Marty’s younger son’s team today, which Marty coaches. Marty is damn short.
My son yesterday told Harris to sign already and Harris just stared at him, lol.

A better skating Josh Gorges, doesn’t do anything particularly as a standout, won’t be more than 3rd pairing
Struble’s size + athleticism gives him a significant edge, but can he learn / process information quickly & more importantly process that learning into on ice execution?

See the legs on Marty.. even the present retired version?
Huge. Tree trunks.
Struble was burned on 2 Quinnipiac goals because of bad decision-making but he’s very athletic.

That's Struble, alright. And I think that's what will always hold him back.
We had a prospect like that a decade ago called Shawn Belle. An absolute physical specimen with a ton of tools, but never knew what the right decision was.

I don't think they're all that comparable, to be honest.
I think Harris is a smart, safe, often making the right play type of player, and as you say, doesn't do any one thing great.
Whereas Gorges was a I have bigger balls than you type of player, who would be willing to do absolutely anything to win, even if it literally meant blocking the puck with his face.

Take a moment to read this. Use Google translate if you don't understand French.
Once you're done, try to convince me this organization has an idea how to develop young players. They couldn't be more clueless if they tried.

I will get banned again soon, worry not.
I wish I could say I'm shocked but this is the most Bergevin era Habs thing ever, where everything boils down to things that have nothing to do with winning and losing. It's not a meritocracy. You are either "chosen" or you aren't, and if you aren't it doesn't matter how well you perform. You aren't "their guy".Take a moment to read this.

And now that McNiven has spoken out, will the brass take it to heart and start rewarding actual performance rather than reputation? Hell no. McNiven is now a runaway slave who needs to be punished for talking out of turn and embarrassing the organization. He'll be traded for a bag of pucks and a year or two from now he'll roll into the Bell Centre with a different team and shut out the Habs on national television.
And no one will be fired.

Biggest organizational weakness, even more than drafting, we are clueless in that department, and it's been going on for a long time, even before Bergevin, but never as bad as during his tenure.Take a moment to read this. Use Google translate if you don't understand French.

Sean Farrell with 1g 2a in his NCAA debut yesterday and 2g 2a tonight.
7 points through 2 NCAA games is a pretty solid start.

Habsy
Not playing around anymore.
Yup. Everyone wondering how he'll do in college. I think he'll be fine.
Habsy

And he showed it to be. Would you rather he not produce against weaker competition?
keep putting up points

Louis Leblanc only managed 23 points in 31 games in Harvard, so I'll gladly take the production.
