They invited him to the pre-draft combine I believe. The Flyers invited him to their training camp, along with Clapperton.

Marcoux has been one of the best goalies in the Quebec league so far this season. However, he got abused by the Russians last night. He made few if any of the non-routine saves. The team needed Marcoux to outplay Andrei Vasilevski, and that didn't come anywhere close to happening.

Of the six goals Marcoux yielded, four would have been very tough for any netminder to stop, including a point shot directly off a faceoff where there was a lot of traffic and the goalie didn't see the puck until it was too late.

Another one -- Nail Yakupov's goal that made it 2-0 in the first period -- was potentially stoppable. However, the shot from the deep slot was fired by one of the best young snipers to come along in years. Yakupov gets rids of the puck in a hurry and his shots have vicious movement on them.

Huberdeau and Mackinnon were both -4 last night.

danault and hudon were matched against Yakupov and finished the night even.

I know the kid will be good...it's just odd that whenever I see him play I don't see anything special.

Rick Dudley is one ugly mofo.

but what a comb-over

Lucky if he ever becomes a crappy Talbot.

He reminds me of Chris Kelly.

Type of guy you win with.

It was their 2nd 1st rounder that year I believe, better pick than slowpoke McNeill.

It was one hell of a shot by Yakupov I can tell you that.
That guy is gonna be very good, the puck just sticks to him all the time.

The Crosby comparisons are ridiculous.

Coming from the guy who has defended that Bryz is never at fault for any goals. hmmm

Subban and a 1st for him?

The Crosby comparisons are ridiculous.
- Pecafan Fan

Yeah, they need to pipe down with that...

He was a total turnover machine last night.

Dea is a one year wonder.

Yup.

It's only because he's from Cole Harbour.

Maybe he was missing Drouin?

Dea sucked, Huberdeau was clearly the best Q player, but his age helps him a lot.

Hudon was impressing, and the fact that he didn't play more was a nonsense.

Ouellet was all over the ice. Not because he was good, but because he must have played at least 40 minutes. He wasn't impressing at all. Had a couple of nice flashes, mais c'tait un cône dans la première moitié du match.

Marcoux did what he could.

Mantha was a surprise.

Vasilevski is a Monster.

Martin is less skinny than I thought.

Saw him slash a russian player about 4 times when someone hit Huberdeau

How can someone pretend to be skinny?

Anyhow, unless Marty put on several KGs, he is pretty thin.
