roy_133 Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 I really like this kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sebchenier Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 the kid brought his body fat % down from 14 to 8% which is ALOT. He must have been eating burn toast and distilled water all summer to lose that much fat. Not only that, he put on 15lbs of muscle and skates at a lean 198lbs. He's also got alot of drive and I love seeing players like that. Him and Subban are gonna light it up in the next 3 years or so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocket-1 Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 Thats amazing, Great news, lets hope he continues to stay in shape like this... Pacioretty takes hockey very seriously a la crosby like. I remember reading an article on him when he was playing in the NCAA on how he was dedicated to the game. Good stuff.

leafs_rock_go_mccabe Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 I hope we don't push Pacioretty into an NHL role this season. I think it was a mistake to keep him up with the big team for so long last year. Not only could he have been molding his game in Hamilton, but we kicked his first year of his entry level contract into action, did we not? How do those rules work, anyway? Anywho... I think this year would be a good year to play big minutes in Hamilton! If he's ready, he's ready. If not, let's not force the issue! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QbGamer Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 He doesnt actually have roster spot yet.. Shouldnt he be in the system, instead of roster players? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
risteenhuis Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 He doesnt actually have roster spot yet.. Shouldnt he be in the system, instead of roster players? Did he finish the season in Montreal? At this point Max should be listed as a roster player, IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Habcore Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 Would be nice to see Max Pac in the habs lineup this year but no rush we have plenty of depth if he needs more time with Hamilton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruuvimeisseli Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 If anyone steals a top two line spot I would put my money on this kid before Lats I agree. Very fast, big, strong and a good head over his shoulders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pitbull12 Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 If anyone steals a top two line spot I would put my money on this kid before Lats Agreed, I really want this kid to get a chance to play with Gomez and Gionta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadianMike Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 Like last season, Montreal is the only place I want to see him play. Only went to one rookie camp practice, but he (STILL) impresses me so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leafs_rock_go_mccabe Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 As much as he is a wonderful young prospect, I'm still not sure he's NHL ready. A lot of out fans here seem to think he is. Well, let's hope he makes the most of his opportunity, regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadianMike Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 I don't know what it is about him. I know he still has some things to learn, but in the 34 games with the Habs last season he didn't look out of place at all. Seeing him out there with the rookies, you can see that he is a step ahead of 99% of them. Maybe it's just me. we will see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't think he's going to out-muscle Sergei, Guillaume, or D'Agostini for the lone top-6 spot on the roster available. If he cannot crack the top-6, shouldn't he be in Hamilton playing big minutes instead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Throw Sergei on the 3rd line if we need to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnyc Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 Max is well beyond both SK 74 and Dags. He is flying this fall and I am looking forward to him getting a shot at top 6 minutes. I love that so many spots are being contested. If you are not in shape and ready to fly, then you will not have a spot on this club. I can see Bob pulling a trade and eliminating some excess creating more room for the deserving youth. If the pundits are offering their expert knowledge and plotting us to finish 8th to 12th in the east, then I say we take that garbage and shove it down their throats. So much has changed from last year and lots is for the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flamesgal1 Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 I think you may see a line of Pac on the left side of Pleks and Gionta. Which I would be quite happy with. All 3 have tremedous speed and Pacs would give the line some size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leafs_rock_go_mccabe Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 The Gazette (Pat Hickey) Max Pacioretty, one of the young forwards who is battling for a job with the Canadiens, continues to have a strong training camp. Pacioretty scored the most impressive goal in yesterday's scrimmage, cutting in from the right side, deking goaltender Curtis Sanford and then lifting the puck over the sprawling goaltender. That was the coup de grâce in Team B's 3-1 victory over Team C in the camp's final scrimmage. All three teams finished with 1-1 records, but Team B was declared the champion on goal differential, scoring four times, while giving up only three goals. "It's tough to get the first goal in camp, and it's good to get it out of the way, and I hope to go on from here," Pacioretty said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All 3 have tremedous speed and Pacs would give the line some size. I have been in favor of this line as well. We'll see it in action tonight and it's a big game for Pacioretty, he's clearly the dark horse in this race behind a more established players like Latendresse so he needs to take full advantage of all his opportunities and this is a golden one.
