Recalled/Assigned: Gustav Lindstrom recalled on an emergency basis

[schwang26]

Norlinder's play has been utterly undistinguished in Laval so far. I think that ship has sailed.

I was never high on him. He did look great in a couple exhibition games though. Now he's essentially Norlinder from last year. At least so far.

Norlinder and Mysak are getting Houled.

I don’t think Toe Blake could salvage Norlinder at this stage.

Ok but how do blocked shots that can lead to bruised tissue or broken/fractured bone
Have anything to do with the medical staff? How is it their faults?

Reading all that stuff this summer about medical staffs
Do people believe they're job is having the ability to make players invincible?

I think you may be missing some of my humor here....

I suspect if the Canadiens continue to magically win, we are going to run out of whipping boys. Who’s next? Delinquent cleaning staff?

Yeah I was expecting him to separate himself from the pack, same withTrudeau, they looked better in pre season for sure.

Mailloux for as raw as he is has looked good and Struble is an absolute stud.

I still don't get this obsession with people wanting to know the exact nature of player's injury.

Why not?

it has to do with Fantasy sports... Often times people need to know if they can move players to the LTIR (ahead of schedule) to grab an FA.. or for gambling purposes... like an "upper body" could denote a broken hand or back spasms ; thats a big difference.

I don't understand how people can spend so much time on this board about NHL hockey teams and not realize that all NHL teams more and more prefer having Defensemen play on the their proper side. It's like we live in a vacuum... actually maybe we do?

Thats my bad dude, I was wondering too because usually you and I are on the same page lol
Sorry bud

everyone chiming in on how Savard is a warrior, he put his body on the line... etc... Reality is thats an old way of thinking. Players need to start being way more intelligent with their Game Management, and personal responsibility. I for one (as a coach) would never put my players into the line of fire without adequate protection - it is insane that we expect hockey players to do the same.

I'm sorry, but if we are telling our players to go out there and break their wrist blocking a slap shot from the point, incase the oft chance our $4M veteran goalie is unable to save it - then there are far more glaring issues (talent wise) on our roster. If a player is dropping to block a shot from the point, then they are not reading the play correctly, and are out of position.

The time to put the proverbial "body" on the line is when it is do or die = elimination game playoffs, or to preserve a playoff win, or even to secure a playoff spot. The regular season has now become somewhat of a crapshoot, as more intelligent teams look to have the best roster at the start of playoffs. It is more like a marathon now, can you imagine telling a runner to sprint in the first km? gotta pace yourselves lads.

No worries..........................when they did that back in the summer, I thought there is no way to stop bad luck on the injury front, and..............here we are. We have some serious weird bad luck...

The one thing that the new guys can do, is hold the players more accountable to be honest, and the organization I think has made it known, the players were always self serving in coming back too soon.
Gally said he did it, all the time....

We can bring in Therrien as a consultant to help get our D to stop blocking shots.
