That's great! Go down to the A. Get some ice time. Come back up ready to kick some butt! Everyone is happy now?

I would be very happy with Vejmelka behind our Defence.

He didn't "get some ice time." It was purely a paper transaction to maximize cap space over the course of the season, as has happened several times with multiple players already this season.

F*** your ice cream!
They still need a lot of stuff, Vejmelka is the only thing keeping them in most games. They are just seeing the beginnings of balance in their lineup.
I don't think there are any illusions of where they are at in the process, but that said I would be surprised if they traded Vejmelka. He'll be at a good age when that team starts to blossom. I do see guys like Bjugstad, Zucker, and Kerfoot being traded at the deadline unless they go on a tear.

Vejmelka still strikes me as a Korpisalo style guy
Good in volume but leaky, gives up backbreakers. Almost every time we've played against him he's coughed up something chintzy in the clutch.

I’m not going to complain but only because that’s a five-hour drive for me.

Yah, I don't what they were doing with November, but in this month alone we have (3) 3-day breaks and (1) 4-day break. 11 games total in the month.

It's actually something that Luc mentioned in a recent Black & White episode. They didn't want to do these types of ambassadorship games like Australia while they were rebuilding.
I don't know whether or not Luc had an influence on the location being picked. And I have some issues with how he and Blake run this team, but I don't see an issue with being involved with being part of expanding the league influence.

I'm fine with them trying to expand the fan base in Australia, China, etc, but what do they gain by doing this in Quebec?

It's a special event, and the league is still talking about expanding. Could be trying to gauge the market.

I enjoy the ambassadorship
But painting Quebec as ambassadorship vs. Australia is a generous view

It's Quebec, Canada, where hockey is the national game. The province already has to prevent itself from being burnt to the ground whenever the Canadiens get eliminated in the playoffs. The NHL playing games there has nothing to do with expanding the league influence.
Edit: Whoops, didn't see RJ beat me to pointing this out.

As I mentioned, there have been talks of expanding more. Doing it in Quebec could be for two reasons:
- to genuinely engage the NHL viability now that a couple decades have passed
- to pretend they are testing the viability and shut up the people who want an NHL team in Quebec.
was shouting for this last year before they traded with Columbus
league wants to really rub PLD in the habs fans faces
