I mean maybe he feels undeserving of calling himself a Montreal Canadien now that he's been demoted?
Self motivation to get back to the bigs?
Unless he really is a punk and I'm way off here.

In all seriousness this is an important inflection point for Caufield. I'm sure he'll be better for it.
Debrincat comparisons were wishful thinking but no reason for him not to carve out a career similar to Rocko Grimaldi if he puts the work in.

it is, he's not looked right although today's game was his best so now that he's finally buried one hopefully he starts to get back on track. Last year he started off slowly and then the goals started coming left and right, so we'll see if that's the case.
The Habs have to be the worst team in the NHL when it comes to development, so many mistakes it blows my mind how professionals could be so bad at their job. But Caufield is highly skilled, so while lots of players have struggled in his Sophomore year, I am not worried about him as he will bounce back and wreck havoc on goalies in due time.
Did you think he earned his spot during training camp/ preseason? I get he did great during the playoffs last year but he is still a rookie and shouldn't have been handed a roster spot if he didn't earn it.

of course he should, he was one of our best players in the playoffs. That's not handing a spot to him, he earned it.

I agree with this. Easy to say in hindsight because the start to this year isn’t what we all thought. But if you asked me in September if he at least earned a spot on opening night based on his play in the playoffs in the best league in the world the year before it’s an obvious yes
He was brutal in NHL. Putting him in AHL was right nove. Kid has to grow sone balls and work a bit. He look like a soft Prince out there.

he'll be back soon,, as soon as Price is ready to play
That will stop the bleeding of the bad team defence and let Cole play his game

So the Habs really have no idea what to do with this player, huh?

under MB they have proven they don't really know what to do with their prospects.

Yikes. Giving your best prospect the yoyo treatment is questionable at best. What possibly could have changed in his last 6 games?

My cap runneth over
They figured 2 games was enough last year, and 6 games was enough this year? I would have thought he'd be tearing up the AHL to call him up now.
If he starts scoring again, Bergevin looks smart. What is he going to do if the kid has another tough stretch? Send him back again?

Not even remotely true of any Canadiens games I’ve watched this season. Absolutely not tonight.

Sorry but you missed the game
i was live in the Bell Center and the only ones that created offense were Suzuki, Caufield and Gallagher
