I followed Victor Mete's pre-season games closely with the Catching The Torch series, but the more he plays, the less he looks like a prospect. He's slowly establishing himself as a regular with the Habs and an essential part of their defence corps.
Thursday night was no exception. He once again showed that keeping him for the start of the season was the right choice. If the coaching staff had any doubts left regarding their decision to have him stay, those are now gone. He can play in the NHL, and play well.
There were some reports that he was nervous before the game, excited to take the ice as a true member of the Habs, a dream come true for any young junior player.
