I was at the game. Hutson was the only player that managed to get the crowd to go "Ohhh and Ahhhh" on random plays. The kids is awesome! If he keeps this up, I can see him crack the line up this upcoming season.
@@salman13 if you have grade 8 text comprehension, you may understand that i refer as ''OUR OWN'' Cale Makar. meaning a type of player, not this actual one.
@@summondarkness 25 years ago, you were never hoping for a cale makar. Maybe a scott stevens, maybe a zubov, maybe a Niedermeyer or a Pronger.... Saying our own doesnt change much. Also, Hutson can't skate very well. Far from a Makar.
@@salman13 we had scott stevens, we had a niedermeyer, we had pronger. ok no we didnt have a pronger. but we never had an extremely mobile offensive with a great vision D. The closest was subban. so yes, i was hoping for someone who could do all this for 25y. we finally have one
Love the content and this channel, newer follower as I found you in the offseason but absolutely loving the videos and very much looking forward to watching your videos all season long. Here's to a great channel, creator and to a growing, building and a successful season to the boys. Go Habs Go!!!!
@@matthewminogue3276 Habs' goal tending was atrocious (only invited not drafted guyz) and forwards were doing sh!t, but it's ok, like Junkie said, our top prospects were on the D this time and they delivered!!!
I was there. Yes. It took some time for the rookie team to gel and work together. PP guys... that needs some work. And it was crazy to see Xhekaj (Florian that is) was agressive, Hutson to dingle dangle, and Mailloux seemed to hold his own. Looking forward to see the other guys.
@matthewminogue3276 should've never left, why send him over to NA for the OHL when he could've been playing in Liiga? He'd make a paycheck, play against harder and more challenging competition that'd develop him better
@matthewminogue3276 Yeah, but he has been demotivated ever since going to the OHL . It should've been a red flag to let him go back to Europe after the first OHL season, but hopefully, the AHL will re-motivate him and set him back on track
Can someone come up with a best of compilation of all of Junkie's quotes? "this guy stands out like a hairy mole on an ass cheek"?!? C'mon, that's gold!!!
Hutson definitely stood out the most offensively, but to me, Mailloux had the best complete game out of all the players. Maiiloux is ready to be slotted into the top 4 and play big minutes, he has the defensive game to help cover for Hutson, and has the offensive ability to help Hutson thrive as well. I say our future top 4 is going Hutson-Maiiloux, and Guhle-Reinbacher. And I agree that the forward group was underhwelming, Tuch, Heinamen, Kidney all have good potential to be solid 3rd line players and I think Beck is the only one who showed maybe top 6 potential. But lucky for habs their top 6 is already solid, Caufield-Suzuki-Slaf and Laine-Dach-Newhook are solid top 6 guys, and then when we add in Demidov in place of Newhook the top 6 will be full. Then the class of Roy, Tuch, Kidney Heinamen, Beck will all compete for bottom 6 roles and we will have to find out which one of those suit that style of game best.
well at end of day, the result was a LOSS. that being said, Thorpe will be an interesting project. will he be Milan Lucic or Justin Brazeau (to use two Bruins as examples). sleeper pick ----- dont think he played in this game but Filip Eriksson is sneaky good over in sweden
Thorpedo was a surprise standout, I thought Larose looked good too. Totally agree otherwise on the forwards. When Hutson is getting more breakaways and offensive touches than any of our forwards, its not a great sign.
“There wasn’t really anyone up front that screamed top six NHL talent.” Maybe so, but a Stanley Cup winning team needs high level bottom six NHL talent, and Beck, Xhekaj and Thorpe showed that this weekend. The future top six forwards in this team are either in the KHL or already in the NHL (CC13, NS14, JS20, KD77, PL92…). Mesar, Heineman and Farrell have a large task ahead of them to break into that group…
Nope, Reinbacher wasn't 4th best D on the ice last night, it's pretty much en even 3 after Hutson. You've gotta look much closer at everything David does defensively, at the cleanliness of his zone exits at the quickness & accuracy of all his close, mid & long passes. Plus, please let's not forget WHO set up Farrell for that lazer pass to Beck for the sneaky snipe. He did so after a saving dangle the Leafs player is still wondering what happened to him, mesmerizing that guy is also what allowed Beck to rush to a fully cleared area. But yeah, amazing to see Mailloux so defensively sound already on this very offensive pairing, great to see Engström as such leader of his duo and Reinbacher pretty much unphased to be associated with Motew (who still has a bit of a path ahead of him) and getting better & better after each intermission.
Hutson was not afraid to go into heavy traffic. He even came out with the puck while resisting 2 leafs on him on the board. I've been following the habs since '81, and I don't remember having seen such a talented young defenseman before. I'm that close to saying generational talent, here...
the only problem the habs have now is that the NHL roster is mostly locked in already because many have NHL only contracts. the florian line must become our 4th line sooner than later and Owem Beck must be a NHL ASAP.
The talking heads that think Mailloux is not an NHL'er say this because they are virtue signaling their feelings about his past. Any legit hockey mind can see that Logan is going to be a good NHL'er.
I can see all the issues with each player and since last year the returnees have not improved at all so yeah age is a poor excuse.The Leafs prospects actually had like 3-4 players who just know how to play the game win battles win big faceoffs great skating and confidence. Habs prospects were better 2nd games but still often easy to knock off puck but the LEafs players were able to fend off habs checkers.
I hope the message was meant for the jersey and not for the human inside it 😅 But then again, it's the Leafs. Nothing surprises me anymore, coming from theme 😂
Recently got the Return RUclips Dislike extension for Chrome, noticed you have 6 dislikes after 45min on this video. Which means you have Leafs fan or something watching too, a good sign in my eyes. They probably didn't like the baby diarrhea joke ROFL
Will Xhekaj fight on his first shift Does the sun rise in the east. Beck got stronger as game went along he shut down the Leaf's best guys in the third. Leaf's won the joke shoot out otherwise Montreal outplayed them Leaf's goals were all PP and shootout against a goalie that got his taxi out to drive the prospects back to their apartments after the game.
Sucks for the Leafs kids. Played they're entire life to wear a NHL jersey in sort of a NHL game and the Leafs are like "Here is a practice jersey loser". Wow what a disappointment I am sure.
Habs prospects are pretty Overrated ngl. Toronto had a couple prospects and invited players and still lost 2/2 thats kinda sad ngl. Top 10 Prospect pool is kinda a reach
Again , our best prospect are defensemen , so even though they’re skilled , we still need offence , that’s why I’ll continue to say that the reinbacher pick was a horrible mistake Go ask Philly if they’d trade michkov straight up for reinbacher right now😂😂😂 the habs were worry about michkov 3 years contract, well it’s two years later and michkov is here and reinbacher is a defensive defenseman that was drafted with a 5th overall pick 🤦♂🤦♂🤦♂ if I was Hughes , I’d trade him right now as he still has a bit of value
I was at the game. Hutson was the only player that managed to get the crowd to go "Ohhh and Ahhhh" on random plays. The kids is awesome! If he keeps this up, I can see him crack the line up this upcoming season.
I was there too and lane hutson is just some talent! It was amazing to see this guy play
atmosphere there was insane for a rookie game 20000 plus! waiting outside bell centre now for game 2, lets go lanerrr
Have a great game!
It was. For a rookie pre-season game. I think we are looking forward to a lot of talent coming up.
@@djumeau agreed no win but lots of action! and definitely no lack of production which we are used to seeing normally😄

I was at that game, it was a really fun one (even though we lost)
All our young guys looking great... mailloux, Beck, Hutson, thorp, F Xhejkai, 👽Alien Engstrom
😭😭😭
Hence why we lost twice to the fukin toronto maple leafs? They have 1 of the worse roster pool yet we lose twice. Sickening.

Leafs fan but i watch all ur vids junkie, love ya ❤
respect.. right back atcha
Same here!
Hildeby will be legendary for you in the future
@@thundershock720guy is a jobber. Just like their current tandem. We will see if what’s his name can play with the pressure of being #1 starter.
Where’s the recap from Sunday’s game?
Going to the home opener for the first time, cannot wait to feel how electric the centre bell is on that Wednesday night

What a weekend, what a future, what a fan base. Let’s GO. 💪🏻
No need to say a damn thing, Junkie. You always say exactly what I think about it all, to a tee. It's actually quite awesome. 🤘
DUDE WHERE'S MESAR?
Gone to europe soon if he doesn't step it up.
@matthewminogue3276 should've never left, why send him over to NA for the OHL when he could've been playing in Liiga? He'd make a paycheck, play against harder and more challenging competition that'd develop him better
@@thundershock720 wanted to acclimate to North American ice and learn to be away from home. Nobody could of predicted this disaster of a development.

Owen Beck might be Montreal's new Trevor Linden
I hope you're sarcastic....
Nice to finally see some hockey ! Pretty good game overall.
Even if it was a rookie game. Yes sir!

why isnt Fowler..... this stud goalie I hear about at rookie camp?
Thorpe may be a very nice surprise to the upside!
I'm just so sad that a lot of these defensemen are going to have to be traded to clear up the blueline
Where can we watch game 2? :)
What channel is televising these?
Keep up the amazing work my friend!

Yeah, I saw Hutson go up with the puck and went all the way to the boards! Like who does that? Bobby Orr?
@@djumeau He looked incredible this weekend with the rookies. Now, with NHLers?
I can't wait for the big camp and season to begin! haha
the only problem the habs have now is that the NHL roster is mostly locked in already because many have NHL only contracts.
the florian line must become our 4th line sooner than later and Owem Beck must be a NHL ASAP.
Charles Savoie probably got himself an AHL contract after these 2 games.
YEA LEAFS NUMBER 1
How do you watch this?
With all the talk around Hildeby i wasnt too impressed by his game last night but he wasnt terrible by no means
considering quebec is the toilet of canada , that toilet bown on their jersey is quite fitting
The better team won 😂
Searching.. seek and destroy… searching …. Seek and destroy…
Sean Farrell is the new Charles Hudon.
Hinnestly, after watching both game (unpopular opinion incomming) I am more excited for Mailloux and Reinbacker than Hutson.
Kapanen is a step above Beck. I wish he was also playing. At least he will be here for main camp.
Toronto #1
Leafs goalie stole the game.
weve got a beutifull probleme on defense man !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😆😆😆😆
why leaf have those jersey?
The talking heads that think Mailloux is not an NHL'er say this because they are virtue signaling their feelings about his past. Any legit hockey mind can see that Logan is going to be a good NHL'er.
I was there habs dominated, leafs goals were only pp luck
doesn’t help that toronto’s “rookies” are older than ours. most of our guys are not even 20 yetx
I can see all the issues with each player and since last year the returnees have not improved at all so yeah age is a poor excuse.The Leafs prospects actually had like 3-4 players who just know how to play the game win battles win big faceoffs great skating and confidence.

hutson stood out like a mole on a arse cheek hahaha
stood out like a what? on a what?!
It looks like Mesar is stalling… maybe we should have gone with Brad Lambert instead.
i feel like he overcomplicates LEGIT everything which costs him, if he plays normal hockey he'd be better
Will Xhekaj fight on his first shift
Does the sun rise in the east.

From what I watched from both games, in the end, Toronto's goalies were better unfortunately.
My only problem with Hutson is that his speed is kinda average, his agility is game breaking, speed not so much
But he got a quick burst and he can work on speed with a speed coach. His hands and vision, nobody can teach that.
I thought Richard was really good, not his fault for pp goals
Don't forget about Aatos Koivu. He already was dominating in a random shift I saw from him in Finland.
What?! Koivu has a son? Where? Where? Is he strong in the Force?
you talk funny
