Depth is the key word here. stamkos and point have been so quiet in 3 games and yet tampa scored 14 goals Depth, veteran experience, and a lineup complete of players who can play an intense 2 way game.

Cole Caufield has been exposed as too small, and too slow. Plus, Habs has guys who only play one way. Defensively. Not enough guys who play a 2 way game. Not winning anything with an old Cory Perry as your best forward. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went back and looked at some of the scouting reports when Donnie and Dhali were trying to tell us we made a mistake with Podkolzin. Some reports said CC lacked high end speed, some said he had good speed and agility. Edited July 4, 2021 by Jimmy McGill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some reports said CC lacked high end speed, some said he had good speed and agility. CC is quick, but not fast. He’s little so appears to be going fast, but in a straight line taller guys easily out pace him. In space in the Ozone, his quickness is noticeable. But again as the play gets heavier, CC gets forced to the perimeter, where he is 100% useless. It’s not like he’s winning any physical wall battles, yet that is exactly where he is forced to play. He’s gone from Mighty Mouse to Smurfette. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s gone from Mighty Mouse to Smurfette. I think in the regular season he'll get his chances but you're correct about the perimeter problem. I also noticed he's pretty easy to get the puck from, so he'll have to learn how to protect it much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JM_ Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 Just looking at Toffoli's numbers so far in the playoffs, -3 vs TO, +3 vs WPG, +/-0 vs Vegas, -5 vs Tampa (no goals or assists yet). I know +/- can be a weak stat for comparison, but there does seem to be a story here. Faster, more skilled teams do pretty well against him.

That's only their opinion. This kid is showing signs already in the 2nd best league in the world that he is going to be a beast. I like CC, but I'd choose VP every day.

Edit: and that's before he even turned 20. its actually a really unfair comparison to both players, Podz and CC are nothing alike, won't score alike, won't contribute alike, ever. The right comparison imo with our team is with Hoglander. It'll be really interesting to see which guy performs better in the playoffs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker 67 Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 The Habs were the underdogs in the playoffs, and they played like a team. Price helped get them there, but Tampa is loaded with expensive players, I mean talent, and they'll win the Cup again. Someone needs to change those cap rules. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think all players are comparible tradees get made some times its winger for winger or grinder for grinder and sometimes its center for goalie can you not assess a trade if its Center for Goalie?

I guess you can try to make any comp you want to, it just might not be all that useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
