Hi. I’m “Gio Palermo”, also known as “legorocks99” (“legorocks99Gaming”, “LR99Gaming”, or “LR99”). I post video game commentaries on YouTube revolving around “hockey”, with a primary focus on “Vancouver Canucks”, “Montreal Canadiens”, “Detroit Red Wings”, and top “NHL prospects” topics. These videos are uploaded with “NHL 21” gameplay in the background. I enjoy making these videos and I hope that you enjoy watching them!

  1. Will u make a video on the rookie tournament bout kings and ducks after this weekend bro ? Byfield and zegras already tearing it up

  2. I think he's going back to Europe, montreal is under extra scrutiny about rushing prospects after KKs comments , and there's not really a spot for him to take? Who do you bump out?

  3. Would be nice to have a good puck moving defenseman in Montreal. I think the Habs have enough defenseman that they can let him develope another year, especially if he would be a 6th-7th defenseman on the team.

  4. Only 10 pts last year, let him play another year in the SHL. If I’m not mistaken, he can always join the team as a Black Ace for the playoffs.

  5. Lego, that comparison was made to how his mind decides on decisions that have to made fast on the fly, not towards Dahlin's ceiling or overall style etc. In short hockey IQ when it's about details/plays on the fly to adapt to a certain situation. Not the overall game.

  6. Don't know if you properly looked at the Habs line-up, but there isn't any room for any rookies not names Caufield or Romanov.

  7. First and foremost, Norlinder needs another year at Frolunda and the Habs don’t need him this season. They have Petry and now Mete. That should be enough offensive D for now, and I think Romanov will improve enough offensively to contribute, while Norlinder still needs more growth. I think Norlinder is going to be terrific, especially offensively. But can he really be compared to Dahlin? A guy who has elite level all around potential, especially at his main purpose, defense. Love Norlinder. But, while Dahlin may still have need for improvement, his all around ceiling, at every aspect of the game, is huge. Not simply his offense. So I’m with you on that. I don’t see the Dahlin comparisons AT ALL. Maybe a guy like Powers or Luke Hughes or Edvinsson can be more accurately compared to Dahlin, or “a poor mans Dahlin.” Yea, I think Dahlin’s ceiling is even higher than those three. He might have the closest potential to Hedman out of all young NHL D players/prospects. I’d still take him over Makar, Fox, Drysedale, you name it. Lol. He’s really the only “poor mans Hedman” out there.
