Couldn't find the (frank)ing arena for a good whole 30 minutes so I missed the 1st.
At least I didn't miss anything as some of my buddies who went to see ex-teammate Alexandre Comtois play told me the 1st was boring.
Grigorenko: Had a really bad penalty that led to Archambault's goal. Almost scored on a faceoff and has amazing puck protection skills. He had a guy on him all the time, and his linemate couldn't get open. To me he had a really good game, even though he was barely involved physically. Like to go wide with speed and then cut or find a teammate on net. Overall a good game, despite the costly penalty. I'm not sure if he's ready yet for the NHL, he wasn't dominant yesterday. Might also be because his linemates weren't doing very good.
Archambault: Not my favourite prospect but he had a good game yesterday, was involved every time he was on the ice, he's creative, but always tries to do everything on his own, instead of passing the puck. Great speed, hands and puck protection. Was pretty good on cycles too, despite his size. Had a really good rush on the PP, and collected the rebound from Brouillard's shot for the equalizer on the PP. Is also more aware in defence as he often was falling back to cover his linemates.
Nikola Brouillard: For such a small frame, he's doing really good in board battles. Moves the puck well and has a good vision on the PP. He will have to improve the strenght of his core, but this guy will get drafted in the first two rounds next year.
Surprise of the game: Ryan Culkin. Guy is as steady as you can get in junior, is available in this years draft too, wouldn't mind him in the 5th round. Made a few good backchecks - QuebecPride

Les deux picks étaient solides.. surtout que Perron a été repêché au 26e rang.. Comme champion dit, y'avait bcp de questions sur son attitude. - PRICEless
A Montreal, depuis Lapierre, Higgins, Ryder ect... On veut juste des ptits gars qui marche droite peigné sur la côté, ca m'énerve un peut. Équipe qui manque de saveur (no code)
C'est surtout un joueur spectaculaire, il a un jeu dans le top 10 pratiquement a chaque semaine. - Fredobbface
Il est meilleur que Pacioretty, je l'ai toujours dit, il a les mains pour en scorer 40.
C'est dommage parce que le gars vient d'ici aussi, et qu'il va devenir un game-breaker...
Pacioretty demeure un excellent choix, et un excellent joueur. Sans lui on aurait un trou pareil...

yeah...attitude problems...I remember reading about him rolling his eyes to veteran players on the team who would miss a pass during practice. He really thought he was the poop. - stinger67
Yep, but good vets like Kariya took care of him. He was really thinking he was the poop. You know he had those flashy white skate, so one day, Kariya called him out and said that he was part of a team, and that everyone has the same status over there, so he painted his skates in black.

À moitié d'accord... En général je crois qu'ils devraient effectivement prendre plus de risques mais dans le spécifique de Perron, on parle d'un gars que toutes les autres équipes avaient décidé de laisser passer donc c'était pas que le CH.

Guy really got his head screwed straight. - QuebecPride
He still wears that black visor though... totally da poop.

Aucun des deux n'est le sauveur. On peut pas reprocher le choix de Pacioretty ni de McDonagh non plus. C'est juste plate de manquer cette saveur locale au Canadien
Ostie qu'il est du pour l'asile. Mais des fois il est crampant
