Welcome back kid

 

[dackelljuneaubulis02]

Isn’t he playing right now?

 

[negative77]

Let's go Josh Roy

 

[The Great Weal]

Nice! Although sucks for RHP. Two longterm injuries and not really effective when healthy this season anyways. Hopefully he's good to go for next year.

Scratched before the game and is on his way to Montréal

 

[Bottle Rocket]

Wonder if they will call up someone after RHP's injury, if so who? Condotta again?

No. Roy !

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

So, second line of Newhook Slaf and… Anderson or whoever? And Roy joins the top line. I’d like that.

Why would they do that? Slaf doesn't connect with those guys we already know. He doesn't deserve any kind of demotion, he has been one of if not the best player on this team for 2 + months.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Ok, I thought they'd go with Condotta again, but happy they're giving the kid another opportunity.

Maybe he plays on 2nd line with Newhook & Armia?

Welcome back, kid!

 

[Gravity]

What the f*** are they doing with this kid? Either let him stay down and develop or play him consistently if he's up.

Welcome back, kid!

They need more skill up front is my thinking

It’s not a demotion. We moved him down with Monahan and he was great. He’s good enough now that he can help carry a line. Newhook could center with him and it’s be a half decent second line.

Strange call up. I have been behind Roy since his draft year. I wanted the Habs to take him with one of their two second round picks that year, but as I do with Lane Hutson, I don't just look at his offensive stats. I don't like his defensive game this year, especially his passivity without the puck. He needs to become a more complete player that is more dynamic on the ice. That's one thing to be a cerebral player like he is, but to be effective in the NHL he needs to improve his involvement in the game.

 

[Naslundforever]

Tank with the baby hab goal scorers playing minutes I like this. Everybody wins.

 

[vokiel]

Looks like he is here to stay? It sounds like RHP's injury is serious.

 

[sampollock]

Maybe cause Harvey is hurt

 

[dinodebino]

Slaf is first line, no doubt.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Slaf is first line, no doubt.

Maybe...

 

[dinodebino]

Maybe...

Tough crowd, tough crowd.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Tough crowd, tough crowd.

It’s a compliment to him that we could move him to the 2nd. Honestly he’d give Newhook some help and Toy could learn from Nick and CC.

 

[Habs13]

So with Roy in, Newhook back, Gallagher out we will start to see a closer look at our future forward group. Can't wait to see it with Dach as well

Please read up on contract status.

He was playing well in the NHL when they sent him down - so it's likely an acknowledgement of that fact to recall him.
