Last night, Montreal Canadiens prospect Xavier Simoneau, who was one of the most impressive players at the CH's recent training camp, dropped down the gloves against a 6'5" giant named Brett Murray of the Rochester Americans.
Check out this clip:
Wow, it's really impressive to see that Simoneau (who is barely 5'7") was not afraid of the big Murray.
As my colleague Alex Desrosiers mentions, let's add (on top of that) that Simoneau also got his first career AHL goal, and an assist, to complete his Gordie Howe-style hat trick.
Simoneau, 21, has three points in six games with the Laval Rocket this season, while adding 11 penalty minutes. He had a solid 107 points in only 62 games with the Charlottetown Islanders of the QMJHL last season.
Hats off to him! Check it out:
