Lets goo! Ive watched him for almost a yr so Im happy for him. I recommend his YouTube channel
You have a bright future. This is quality.
He is going to b shell shocked because they are very sloppy defensively.Both Laval and the big Habs need a lot of help in their defensive play and overall playing responsibly.
I akin the problem being that players know you get paid for point production and not for winning or defensive prowess.Dobes is the splitting image of all goalies he is down on his knees before shots are even taken.
Goalies only look good when players can't elevate their shots or they simply shoot right at the goalie.
Both Laval and th eHabs need real coaches that teach players how to play like a winner and so far neither club has learned anything in their special teams or 5 on 5 play.
Way too many soft small forwards.
What a beautiful well spoken intelligent lady!
I was very surprised when I heard this news. I’m not at all sure that this is what the team needs now, but that’s not even the main thing. I am watching S.H.L. closely and I, and not only Me, was sure that the North American stage of the Kaskisou corriere was completed.
Kasimir did not dominate, which is what we can expect from a goaltender who played in North America and returned to the S.H.L.. I don’t see any progress in his game and, accordingly, the prospects of reloading his corriere look doubtful.
Perhaps Kaskisuo can become a mentor? Probably not, for a variety of reasons; starting with age and lack of experience, ending with mental instability. The episode that was mentioned was vivid; but far from the only one. It’s Strange that a guy from Europe is writing this, but why do you need a goalkeeper from overseas; who can only fill a slot in the roster?
The timing is also not at all ideal, as Patrick noted. Considering the above, I am rather skeptical about Kasimir; but I certainly wish Him a bast of luck.
