Quailer has been pretty good. He had a bit of an inconsistent period, but he's using his speed and strength very effective. He also is backchecking hard.
Avtsin is terrible in his own zone and doesn't contribute at all when the puck isn't on his stick.
He also stands in front of the net and fights for the puck, which i like a lot. Quailer over Avtsin any day.
Swaped Dumont and Nattinen mid way in the 2nd and then benched the 4th line.
Also CHL line put together while Palushaj and Geoffrion get reunited. That veteran line is matching Rochester`s top line and getting killed. CHL line doing great against softer opposition.
2-1 for the Amerks. Nice to see Ellis, of East Bideford, PEI, playing well... Good kid, hopefully he has a long career with the Habs. Fun watching the young guys developing.
Watch out, some posters will get all giddy and tell you things like 'only on HF ' and that 'wouldnt be surprised=wants to'...
They're rookies, of course they'll get scratched if things go wrong, it's just part of a learning process.
Anyway, if they get dominated night-in, night-out, I sure hope Lapointe and Brisebois won't stay far from the team, they'll need 'em to learn everything they'll be able to.
Beaulieu is a very smooth and fast skater blessed with some real puckmoving skills, his transition should be easier, Tinordi is much more of a project but I still loves his potential, his transition to the Pro level was obviously going to be hard, such tall guys take longer to develop..
But then who is gonna cover for Beaulieu? Pateryn is good right now but he can't cover for bad rookie mistakes.
Yeah... that's the problem. I feel like this team needs another defenceman, a solid steady one, and veteran too. But I'm not sure about knocking Corbin/Nash/Pateryn out of the line up consistently.

if Nash was in instead of Corbin they could of done
St. Denis - Tinordi
Beaulieu - Ellis
Nash - Pateryn
