[Rapala]

confirmed:

Why the F are we only hearing about this now if it happened yesterday.
Coverage of our team has gone into the shitter. Particularly for those who can't stand X.
Where did it happen how did it happen these things matter to some of us.

 

[BLONG7]

confirmed:

Ahhhhhhhh.......F^&K..................

 

[Rapala]

So now what we replace the great skater with Joshua steamboat Roy?

Very possible they were waiting for results from x-rays or scans to confirm the length of the time he might be out so they can give all the information.

The tweet already says 3-4 weeks

 

[Essenege]

call up Wawa. He has chemistry with Armia and he can snipe it

Pezz was a good tank boi but you don’t play him in a playoff chase.

I know. I was replying to @Rapala who was wondering why they didn't say anything yesterday when it happened.

 

[The Great Weal]

Brutal news but glad it’s not more serious

 

[LaP]

confirmed:

In before the conspiracy theory saying he was not injured but he's just a lazy European who doesn't want to work because we all know athletes never get injured outside the ice it doesn't exist it's all a conpiracy. In two weeks someone will see him hold his thing while peeing and planet CH will be on fire since his wrist will obviously be ok.

Many people on this board hate Wawa now. Crazy to see. Has a bad camp and all of a sudden he sucks. I'd like to see him called him and given another chance. He's producing well in the AHL.

If it was to replace someone in the top six I would call up Roy, but I think Davidson would be a better call up for Heineman. Hard for offensive guys like Roy to be effective playing 10-11 minutes a game, Davidson would likely be more effective as he brings more grit and energy while also chipping in some offence.

In before we spot him at Mont-Tremblant with his snowboarding gear on.

The drop off in speed will be so great that we'll all get the bends just watching.

 

[Boardish]

confirmed:

Not really important, but I wonder if it happened in Salt Lake City or in/around Montreal?

Salt Late City. The team travelled on Sunday to make their way there.

Disagree. Armia and Evans are on fire offensively, it’s not a traditional bottom 6 Role. Also Roy with his good positioning/quick passes is a great complement to Evans forechecking/speed and Armia’s board game.

I’d play him PP2 as well no doubt.

Which is exactly what my comment was referring to. Davidson or Tuch makes more sense.
Somehow I don't see that line playing it's current role effectively with the addition of Joshua Roy.
But no that isn't it of course it has to be hate.

Its not a question of hate, but the slow and painful realization that he doesn't have quite the upside so many here had hoped and expected.

If any player is called up, it should be Tuch, who is the only player in Laval that has anywhere close to the combination of skating, size and physicality that Heineman brings to the table.

I'd play Tuch on 4 and bump Anderson.

confirmed:

This curse is getting f***ing ridiculous now

 

[Kobe Armstrong]

I wonder if they call up RHP to leave Beck, Roy, and Tuch in the AHL

Way to early to know with Roy. What's holding him back is the classic pro game and lack of maturity issue that so many players struggle with. Remember, Heineman made the NHL at age 23.

If we were correct in the past by saying we have to stop rushing prospects and focus on development, I hope we realized that most of the prospects should not be in the NHL at age 20 or 21. The true Roy will show up at age 22/23. Like Heineman and also like Evans. If we want to focus on proper development, look at Heineman and Evans! Beck, Kapanen, and Roy should be managed the same. These are grade A- or B+ types and project to be secondary parts. That's how you properly manage parts like this.

A deep pool like the Habs have likely means we have to have patience and consider what they look like from age 23-25+ Not everyone follows the exact same path but 23-25+ is where the value will be at. Unless you are Suzuki, Caufield, or Hutson.

We have to fly someone over on an emergency basis right?? I can’t see the pizza man take a regular shift

I'll take anything anyone says about Roy with a grain of salt unless I know for a fact they've actually watched almost all of his games in Laval.
The number of games he's been a complete no show in is concerning IMO.
