Neither am I. I like the game he brings and all of his improvements, though. He's still a relative longshot but his stock is rising.

His bad attitude and dirty play is robbing on Cedric Paquette.
Love what Bouchard did, adding another game to his suspension. To be honest, we'd have a better record without him in the lineup. He has a long way to go.
But, if I were a Devils fan, I'd be thrilled right now. Matteau is just out there trying to kill people. Lamoriello must be prettym happy with the pick. He is very, very, VERY physical and has great offensive skills. I think he needs to pick up his fighting but other than that he definitely has Milan Monkey Lucic potential.

Matteau really isn't a fighter like Biggs was for the US team. He's a bit more of the dirty grinder profile.
I like the intensity but sometimes it's too much. He could cost us the President's cup. Obviously Halifax and Quebec are favorites because of the big names they have, but we have a balanced and deep team. We'll need Matteau when games will be intense, but sometimes he does too much.

You mean in terms of going over the edge? Or just penalties in general? Judging purely by the box scores he seems to have toned it down a little (meaning he hasn't been tossed in a couple games ).

When Stefan Matteau turns his game on he's a top player. He controls the game and is a force. Just got his first of the game. #NJDevils

Look out for the game against DRU today, could be a nsty game with revenge from their last meeting. Good test for him to stay dicipline and show he has learn from last time.
no way he makes the team outta camp, a young guy who relies on his physicality to make plays sounds like a guy who can get ruined by the agressiveness of the NHL if he's not full grown
