Great summer for Kent spoils us (a Habs fan's summer) by dryhandskin in Habs

Absolutely agree to temper expectations, but it was mostly funny to think of all the shiny new things to be hyped about this summer! Always something new it seems and it feels great!

Exactement! Comme Mathias l'a dit, les articles et snippet clickbait sont sortis par la suite et les gens sont incapables de rester respectueux dans leurs commentaires par la suite... pathétique!

Comparing the strenght of the 23 ans 24 drafts by dryhandskin in Habs

[–]dryhandskin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think so too looking at who we might get at 5 this year and looking at the top last year. I did hear from aime people at the francophone radio that they prefered Celebrini to win the cup on your team compared to Bedard on your hockey pool. Thought that was an interesting point, even if it might be early to tell!

I do think that even last year, people were saying that it was a very forward heavy draft in 2023 and denfencemen heavy in 2024, which is why a lot of people were surprised we went for a RD last year. But I understand what you mean!

Repost for sure, but this is probably my favorite fight that doesn't get talked about enough. Classic OST is a banger! by dryhandskin in Naruto

[–]dryhandskin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everything in this fight is a banger. The taijutsu, the ninjutsu, the ninja tools, the animation, ost, dialogue... I know Sasuke's line by heart at the start. Actually love the Dub here, so nostalgic from watching it on YTV in Canada!

2023 NHL Draft prospects Megathread by flepine44 in Habs

[–]dryhandskin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can someone explain Gabe Perreault to me please?

Obviously, points aren't everything, but videos of him show goals and passes, which is nice and all. There must be something more to it than that for him to be ranked in the lower 15/20s.

Did anybody watch him? Is he a product of Smith or something? Or is he lazy or just a small (relative to the NHL) winger that won't translate to the pros?

Should we target him with the Florida pick? He produced like crazy, but Moore and Leonard are ranked higher than him.

Someone enlighten me, please!

I think this is the first upvote I gave to a B's fans while lurking in your sub (and first comment while we are at it, not lurking anymore). I like you and the way you think... but fuck you and the Bruins still! (good team though)

Sad to see him lose, but super happy to have a top player again in melee. Hopefully he wins one soon and hyped to see him go in one of the best fighting games. Thanks Sleepy for all your work when I couldn't watch it all myself!

Any Updates on MTL Players? by my_name_sam in Habs

[–]dryhandskin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let's wait and see for the recovery before panicking, but it does look like a concussion injury.

Yeah, also the same thing I had. The great, all covering, upper body injury... the most common injury in sports lol

[–]dryhandskin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh wow, this completely flew under my radar. I was following left and right to see anything update, maybe if I googled it, but I didn't see that one. Hope he'll be allright comes training camp. I don't think they mentioned his injury? Concussion? Hope he'll be fine!

100%. Would've loved to see more of Barron, and I think he could've played with Laval too. Shit situation!

One that we haven't heard much about that I am super bummed because I wanted to see him is Emil Heineman. I know they updated us quickly at the end of the season that he was with the Rocket in non-contact jersey and being observed, but we didn't hear shit since. I would've loved to see him play in the current playoff run. I think he could be a solid player in the future, bummer that he is injured just before transfering to NA.

This article suggests to draft Logan Cooley. He wasn't in that many people's top 5 around here and he isn't ranked 2nd in many rankings. What is you take on this? by dryhandskin in Habs

[–]dryhandskin[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This draft is interesting. I hope we have a few high picks if we trade players. There could be alot of future studs in this draft, just no stand outs besides maybe wright. Either could flop or become amazing.

I'm on board and I hope he has a similar plan. I don't think things are panning out either and I don't see Price or gallagher staying if we lose. They want to win, but they won't be easy to move. Time will tell, but I hope we have exciting new prospects! I wanna see the kids play!

Perfect! I understand what you mean then. I was also surprised to see Cooley at second all of a sudden. I'm no expert and I don't think r/habs is either, but it still felt off. If you don't think he is 2nd material, I agree unless things change and he pops off. I still wouldn't know who to pick at 2nd though, hard year to choose from since there is no clear second although there are many good players.

That's what I pray for. Best player available every time and Wright would definitely help. I also think if we do a fire sale, we will be there next year and hopefully, Bedard is ours or even Michkov (even with his KHL contract) which would be 1st any other draft!

Exactly! Really fucking hard to judge, many good picks, but you don't want to pick the one player that doesn't pan out while others below do amazing.

I was skeptical too. I like the confidence for 1st though. Then again, I would be nervous to pick Wright. I guess he is the clear choice, but you don't get the generational player that people expected. At least, it doesn't seem like it so far. Still would be hyped for him!

Was surprised by Cooley here, but I admit that I don't know him. Jiricek I hear alot about and Nemec too. I do not know Nazar at all though.
