Hey everyone . The missing grades are below . Also wanted to point out I WILL continue to make content during the playoffs / off season .
I may even review some playoff games if you wish !
The Missing Grades :
Justin Barron : OK Tier
Jayden Struble : Good Tier
Wawa : Good Tier
I won't add Hutson/Mailloux as they only played a couple of games..
Hockey Junkie : Kitty Litter tier I don't wanna leave the guys hangin'.
Thanks for a great season of posts Matt ! I don't think Barron is worth a spot in the lineup. He was sent down to improve his defensive play and didn't learn a damn thing. Still irresponsible and a liability. Enjoy your summer and I'll be waiting for your next post ! GHG
71 & 58 = good
Kirby dach 😢
I want to see some speculation on how we are going to make the playoffs next year.
I don't need you to review playoffs.... I will be watching them
During the season I need you to review because I cant stand how much these HABS suck! They are horrible.
That long line of distinguished players who pass the torch forward.... are about to burn this place down! If we suck much longer I will start feeling like a leaf fan.....
I am 60 I am use to playoffs yearly and a cup or serious run every decade..... is that too much to ask?
Thanks for the great posts!
Thank you for a great season of Habs content!
Thank you!
Evans being the ok Tier is criminal imo. This was easily his best season as a pro. Lead the league in PK time and stepped into positions he wasn't expecting to play in. Was really good on the faceoff as well. Hell all our centers got better at the faceoff this year.
He played like a solid shutdown 4th liner. I’d say that’s ok. It’s what he needs to do to keep himself on the team going forward
Yup! Evans is great at doing the small details most people overlook, especially on defense.
he's exactly "good" he did what he was expected to do which is to provide consistency. it's been his best season in the NHL but he's nothing special to be fair... he's not a 4th line grinder that can be used to physically punish the other team, he's not a face off specialist, he doesn't have any stand out skill like outstanding speed or a great unexpected shot, his best asset is his hockey sense and play reading.. good enough to get him on the third and fourth line of a NHL rebuilding team. Jake evans is very much like Brandon Gignac in the sense he's a decent player but in the NHL it's hard to stand out. Gignac at least has speed and hands to go along with that two way play. I could be wrong here.. but I think with Jake Evan's what you see is basically what you are going to get and as the team gets better up front there's going to be no place for Jake Evans. same with Kovi who's game I really like but eventually there's just going to be no place for him.
@@cartorius He was definitely used as faceoff specialist.
Also a PK specialist.
He's doing what Philippe Danault used to do. Sadly not as well as Danault, and not French Can. like Danault. Why did they even get rid of Danault, really?
@@jonathanallard2128 He wanted first line and 1st line pay, he got pissed off when they kept trying out other players on the top line over him in his contract year, thought he deserved it. I know that sounds a little sus but it's true. I read it somewhere in a French article. they fully expected to resign him and he ether told them to trade him or he refused to sign. he wanted something like 7m a year to come back to Montreal and they were like hell nah 5m, and he ended up signing with LA for 5.5m with two seasons making almost 7m and another 5.5m and then a 4.5m it's weird but he was all about that money.
Why was Armia in the kitty litter btw? He was great by the end of the season.
Edit: Never mind lol. Had him mixed up with Mario for a sec
Hahahahaha
Haha I thought the same at first but Joel and Mario are not the same players. Mario is the youngest player on the Mtl roster and he is 🔥
He's probably going to have his best year ever next season as his Contract is up.
Joel got into the game this year… getting better understanding the game the fuck you think … like gaudreau would be better with colombus
@@HockeyJunkieWho's Mario?
As far as your "A" ranking I would still put Suzuki as first. Yes Slaf exploded but man did Nick just carry this team on his shoulders yet again this year. He's the backbone of the Habs and the entire first line revolves around him. Almost finishing at PPG with a team consisting of 1 first line and 3 thirds is absolutely insane.
Also really happy you put Matheson in A. Been defending this guy all year. He's a beast. Home town guy. We're lucky to have him
Cheers
The commentary on Anderson is God tier.
I'm in...just became a member. You certainly have the most entertaining Habs channel on UA-cam.
Thank you very much for taking a membership!
Just a heads up , if you're bored one day. There are a couple different members only playlists available that you can check out. One of them being sort of like a vlog, and the other being a Habs History series.
Thanks again, cheers!
@HockeyJunkie Hey I'm just doing my small part to help finance your next trip to Montreal...🤣
I'm a Jets fan, but I randomly stumbled upon your videos one day and I just think they are hilarious and entertaining. Good job sir, keep it going. The Habs have a bright future ahead so it would seem.
Damn Junkie! You got me with Armia😂, when you put Joel in the kitty litter, I was so confused😮😢. I almost sharted when you put Mario on top 😂😮💨💩
Two 20 year old studs topping the chart. The future is bright
One the highlights of this season was discovering this channel and the awesome content.
Im not even a Habs fan, im a Devils fan. But i absolutely love your content buddy! You've got a certain charm about you and comedic timing. Keep it up my man
Wow I got scared when you put Armia right at the bottom, but then realized we go for Mario
Hahaha!
Thanks for a great season Junkie. Pls never stop making Habs videos. There isn’t one English speaking Habs fan who doesn’t know about this channel keep up the good work!
Nice one! Sending love to TropicalNHL was pure class. Thank you for a fantastic season Junkie!
Thanks for amazing content! Be waiting for you next season 🔥
Thank you! Just a reminder I’ll be continuing to make content throughout the off-season as well .
Maybe even give some thoughts on the playoffs 👀
You hit the nail on the head junkie great assessment. Looking forward for next season, cheers
You absolutely friggin nailed on the annual habs report card. You should do a mid season report card so we can compare the mid to the end of. Good job my fellow newfoundland.😊
Great channel!! Really enjoyed the humorous and informative comments all season, you go in the Awesome category too. Can’t wait till next year. I’ve already got my spot picked out for the parade. Have a great summer.
Spot on with the Mario Armia grade. What a beauty! Perennial calder candidate!
Great video. I was wondering where you were going with Armia but then....you surprised me again. Well done! GHG
I like Jake Evans, he's always around the puck and usually on it. You hear his name a lot when he's on the ice.
Love your video's Junkie, best on youTube.I look forward to watching them ,please don't stop...best of luck to you ..
Can NOT wait for next season! GO HABS!!!
Thanks for a great season of HABS content. Will miss you over the summer. Enjoy your summer.
Thx for sharing all your clips and keeping me up to date with happenings in a comical way.
haha dvorak's picture
Pretty spot on for your year end report card. I like the comment about Anderson's toilet!!
The only thing I would change is putting Chewbacca into the GOOD column. That boy saved countless goals with his goaltending prowess all the while teaching the kids how to play defense. That to me is going over and above and deserves a higher grade. Not to mention the beard stayed flawless all season which has to account for something!
Thanks for the great season! PLEASE make some playoff videos . I bet you would have a great time commenting TOR-BOS series.
Idk what I’m gonna watch while I wake and bake with my coffee before studying for my masters, thanks for the good content!
The 🐐 habs youtuber
Thank you!!!
Great Habs content all season long! What a beauty! Cheers!
Your videos are in the awesome tier 👌
“These are two very different people.” 😂😂😂 Perfect send off for Armia this year. I look forward to the WHC updates.
I'm not even a Habs fan and I love this channel.
Thanks for the great job. I’m a fan from now on. The dual Armia thing was great.
Yessss, please review playoff games, too!!! I can’t get enough HockeyJunkie content..!
Love this videos, thanks man!
haha thanks for clarifying Mario vs Joel! hahaha
Really enjoyed your perspectives. Nutting fancy
Been fun watching your channel.
"Can you imagine what this man's toilet seat looks like at home?" This is the quality content we come for 😂 The Ylonen Hudon comparison felt about right.
And you're missing Hockey Junkie in "Awesome" tier! 😉Cheers man.
I use to watch Hudon at mile one and think "this kid is fast..it's only a matter of time" but nah... he let me down. hudon noodle just tricking me
It’s probably full of you know what!!!
Agree with your calls, but I would drop Armia down a notch to just good.
thanks for all the great vids Junkie. See you in September!
Enjoyed every moment, Junkie! And I'll see you next season.
Thank you Junkie for another great season, we love you bro . You can fill a stadium with all your fans
loved the season, we need some vids on the playoffs now ‼️
Thanks!
Thank you !!
Fair evaluation
Thanks junkie your a beauty bud
Thanks
Thank you!! my apologies I just noticed this donation right now.
I appreciate it :)
Cole Caufield is a magician with the puck. He has that devestating wrist shot and we all know he's going to snipe 30-40 goals next season, in 2024/25. Imagine if he hits the 50+ goal plateau? Stephane Richer notched 50 goals in 72 games in 1987/88 and 51 goals in 75 games in 1989/90. Back then, there would be about 5 snipers in the league who would score 50+ goals in the NHL by the end of the season. This year in 2023/24, there were four 50+ goals scorers in the league.
Bang on Junkie excellent! The leafs game We were both at was frustrating eh bud ?
I found your channel mid-season and loved it so I subscribed right away. Thank you for your blow by blow of the team and of course for the laughs. Looking forward to next season. You will have a video of the draft, right?
Thanks ! I will still continue to make content on all the relevant Habs news throughout the off season .. and maybe even some playoff coverage!
@@HockeyJunkie Thanks for the speedy reply. I'm looking forward to the next video.
@@HockeyJunkie would be great if you covered Canadians teams - no matter your allegiances, we need someone to bring the cup back to Canada (this coming from a Montreal transplant living in SF Bay Area :) You’re the best Junkie !
bro your awesome
Thanks for keeping the Habs season interesting Junkie!
You’re the best
The future is bright
The only player who belongs in Awesome category is Slick Nick Suzuki. Maybe Slaf if we're looking at 2nd half only. The others such as Caufield, Matheson and Armia should be in Good category.
Caufield had a slow start, Matheson makes too many defensive mistakes to be considered awesome and Armia only woke up after he was sent to the AHL.
Suzuki has been awesome all year at both ends of the ice. Slaf looks like a stud and very encouraged by his progress. Everyone else seems to be accurate grading
Honestly I agree with this teir list. We'll done.
Great Content
cant wait for next season
Thank you !
I will still continue to post content on any relevant Habs news throughout the off-season .
As well as some playoff coverage 🤘
You're right on with all of these ratings, but RHP doesn't just "go" under the kitty litter, he IS kitty litter. We simply CANNOT have RHP, White and Pearson back next year. BTW the Josh Anderson comments about the toilet seat had my wife asking me what I was laughing out loud at. Loved your analysis all year, keep going strong! GHG!!
Looks like junkie found his new favourite clip with Mario Armia doing his best pig impression
I know Savard might look "OK" if you just look at numbers and such but he's key with his play with the young D, and is going to be also next year with the new crop of Mailloux and Hutson. He's the perfect vet to have back there at the moment. Was happy he wasn't traded.
I think Mailloux plays with Wifi next season, they had some wild chemistry in Laval. Savard isn't good enough to play top min, I think he's gone come trade deadline there where points in the season where I thought Kovi was out performing Savard.. I like Savard he's good with the kids, but I think it's time for ghule to take the reins as the top D on the team.. I REALLY don't like him playing on the right side ether but If I had to choose between Savard and Matheson I'm taking Matheson. Savard will likely play second pairing along side Hutson or third pairing Along side Struble if Hutson is in the AHL with Reinbacher. I think Hutson plays top pairing with Reinbacher all season in the AHL as that's likely our Top line for the next decade when they do come up.
so when brendan gallagher came up, he was my fav player because he is a little feisty guy that is just fun to watch, and i love little guys and pests...i also liked joel armia when he first got to the habs because he would go in the corners and just get pucks and create, same with josh anderson finding his way into everything when he first arrived, and i like hard workers...but now, i think my fav hab player is arbor xhekaj because I also sometimes like the giants on defense that can get into the offense and stick up for their friends...i think they just have to groom some of the new players coming up, and maybe trade some of their less productive veterans (who may be interesting to other teams) for other veterans who can support them...like smart farmer veterans and people that can protect the kids from meanies.
I think that whole thing is pretty acurate. Matheson did get a lot of points but I don't know how many times I yelled at the TV because of him... ether screwing up the play leading to a goal or not passing to a wide open Slav.. blood boiling to watch this man play.
Is it just me or we missing Strubble? And goalies??? Anderson's toilet seat must really be sumthin else hahaha! Great content me boy, keep it up! Now let's flush this kitty litter for next year and replace with brand new studs, let's go!!!
"We don't tolerate Joel Armia here. Into the Kitty Litter!" Me: WTF?...Oh, wait, Hockey Junkie hasn't ranked Mario Armia, yet. Ha Ha! Completely got me! Great job.
First!
Not that it means anything. LOL
Thanks again for an awesome season.
Hope to hear your take on the playoffs while they're running.
Thank you ! I do plan on making content to give thoughts on playoffs / any Habs news I can think of ! Cheers
I miss Kirby Dach too
Anderson probably belongs in Laval for the start of next season. Nobody's taking him from waivers lol. Hopefully he gets good like Armia.
Honestly, I don't care if he is a vet or not, I would have sent him down after trade deadline. there's no way his ass doesn't light up the AHL, he just needs to find his game.. his Hockey sense and play reading is pure dog shit and I can't understand why..
Maybe it's a sentimental choice, but I would have had Chewbacca higher. The guy is a shot blocking machine on a team playing for little more than relevance. I'm hearing rumors that he's getting some Vezina votes. He had more "saves" this year than most goalies in the league.
And Hey ! see ya next year
You get a passing grade from me anyway. Pretty much an awesome, actually.
You’ll need to do a prospect one and what will the habs look like next season
Armia in the kitty litter was unfair ;)
Joel arimia
In the kitty litter is crazy
Honestly my biggest surprise is Mario armia😂 ever since he came back from being put in detention in laval, its his best scoring in the NHL lol. Matheson is close 2nd for biggest surprise...im still disappointed for losing Monahan ..hope dach is rejoining next season 😊
I was drinking a can of Coke when I heard that Anderson line and it almost made me turn my monitor into a replica of his toilet seat 😂
Hummmm, What would the Hab's goal against numbers be without Chewbacca? Big Play Dave was pretty impressive, nut to mention he's basically a player coach for the youngins. Lane and company will sure be happy to have Chewy saving their asses next year.
Crazy thing about Mario Armia is he’s still going to be 18 until 2027
Evans deserves a better tier he was awesome for us and worked his butt off every shift
So, what kind report card would you give coaching and management? This year only.
See ya' in October!
Defenetly feel like you can put Anderson in kitty litter. Like how are you a power forward but don’t forecheck , doesn’t go for the body . Man misses the net soooooo much
Mario armia for calder !
Junkie I know how you are always adding in funny and interesting little bits see if somehow you can work in the great Foster Hewitt when he says the legendary line , welcome fans from coast to coast and Newfoundland
Mario Armia is a great prospect
Honestly this season wasn’t as bad as the numbers show.
When you take into consideration that the Habs went into overtime 26 times this season and were only able to convert ten of those into wins. To me it just shows that most games they were there or thereabouts. Ottawa had more losses in regulation than the Habs. I’m hopeful to see a massive improvement next season.
And the stanley cup of Habs reporting goes too……. Hockey Junkie ! Thanks
You should do more long videos
Anderson 100% deserves to be in the under the kitty litter tier. Other than that it was a great list.
😂😂 separating Joel and Mario Armia 👌👌👌 Mario being the youngest player on the Mtl lineup 🤣
..I got the Scary movie hands by Gally 😂😂😂
I would put Zook just under awesome, needs room for improvement. He went 6 games with ONE check... Not per game .. 1 hit in six games. He only gets physical when he gets mad and then he gets penalties. He needs to harness some grit the rest of the time. No wonder he doesn't get hurt. When you play 25 mins and are tied with your goalie for number of checks, there's room for improvement... He has every skill of Ovi or Sid except one and they are lightyears ahead because of grit.
Hey beauty, How do you think Hutson and Mailloux report will look next year👀
I think they are going to be two beauties themselves
Lmao, Andersons's toilet seat
Who is Honda Civic? Kovy?
yup you got it
Great video. Obviously the personality you bring is awesome.
Where do you think we are in the rebuild process?
Can somebody explain the difference between Mario and Joel Armia? I thought I got it, now I'm lost.
Joel Armia was sent to Laval, Mario Armia came back,lol,rebirth!
You missed Kirby
