Hockeys Future en entrevue avec Mathieu Carle

Voici une entrenvu entre Hockeys Future avec le choix de deuxième ronde du Canadien.

HF: Could you please describe your style of play for those who haven’t seen you play in junior?
MC: I’m an offensive type; I like to pass the puck. I have a good first pass, and I like to see the play. I know how to find guys. I like to control the power play. I’m not dominant in the defensive zone, but I’m not a high-risk d-man. I can take care of myself defensively.

HF: What do you feel you need to improve in order to make the NHL?
MC: Skating. The first few steps I have to work on that. Upper body shape, to get bigger, to get more physical against bigger, older guys.

HF: How do you feel that your season went in the QMJHL?
MC: It was my third year, and our first year winning. It was more enjoyable than the last two years. Now it’s been three years, like I just said. I like the city a lot, so it doesn’t bother me to play another year there.

HF: Do you think that enduring two losing seasons has made you a mentally stronger player?
MC: Yeah, but when you go through a year that you lose, and a year that you win, you learn that winning is so much more fun than losing. Whenever we lose one game or two in a row guys get [angry] a lot. So it’s not something we want, because we know how winning is like, so losing gets you frustrated a lot.

HF: What do you plan to do for the rest of the summer in terms of training?
MC: Maybe try to do my best the camp, and we’ll see how long I stay. And if I go back to Bathurst, which probably will happen, I’ll try to have the best season of my career thus far and try to dominate, a lot more this year, the Q.

HF: Are there any other Acadie-Bathurst players that you think may be drafted today?
MC: There’s (Mathieu) Perreault (WSH), who was playing with me. He had a really good second half of the season. So I guess maybe a team will take a good chance on him.

HF: In the best-case scenario, how long do you think it will be until you’re able to break into the NHL and stick with the Canadiens?
MC: I’d like next year, but maybe two, three years. I don’t want to spend a lot of time in the AHL. I want to really play there and show what I can do for the Montreal Canadiens.

HF: Obviously being chosen at the NHL Draft is special, but is it particularly special for you because it was the Canadiens that selected you?
MC: Yeah, it’s a dream come true. I’ve been growing up watching them a lot. Like I said, it’s a dream come true.

Super entrevue!
Merci

Belle interview, selon moi on va le voir bientot dans la LNH ce p'tit bonhomme là !!!

dans 3 ans d,apres moi

Ouais sûrement pas cette année entk, ce serait vraiment surprenant avec les prospects qu'on a déjà!

Je l'ai suivi souvent le jeune et il a, effectivement, beaucoup de potentiel. Le CH a fait un choix tres astucieux. D'ici quelques années, s'il met les efforts qui lui reste a faire, il deviendra certainement un bon élément au CH. Dans 3-4 ans.

Ouais ça c'est certain, comme il dit lui-même il réussit très bien la première passe et il a une excellente lecture du jeu! Trevor Timmins a fait du bon travail!
