If you're your a bigot maybe not but the CH should not let bigotry influence their decision.

So.. Molson got to get more frequent flyer points on his card? This is so flipping weird.. Not like you couldn't buy them tickets as members of the Rocket?

Maybe it was a way to give them a little bonus for making the ASG. They get a nice little NHL paychequeSo.. Molson got to get more frequent flyer points on his card? This is so flipping weird.. Not like you couldn't buy them tickets as members of the Rocket?
They will call them back for Tuesday I would thinkSo.. Molson got to get more frequent flyer points on his card? This is so flipping weird.. Not like you couldn't buy them tickets as members of the Rocket?

The organization should not care about the xenophobic bigots who would make such a discernment.

Cool, so the call-up was just to give them a ride to California on the team's plane. Nice move.
Hope so! I want to start weaning Beck on solid NHL food, and I'm very curious to see how much Mailloux has progressed the last few months. His offence is good; let's see if his defensive game has smoothed out.

Also scored in the second game. I thought Mailloux was one of the more dangerous players in the tournament and easily could have scored 2-3 goals with a bit better finish. Both of our prospects stood out, but it must be remembered that this was a 3 on 3 competition with little intensity.

Just a follow up to my comments on the AHL All-Star game. Mailloux was one of the few defencemen who played in the game. In fact, one of the four teams, had no defencemen on their roster. And the lack of defencemen showed as there were multiple (unending) break-a-ways, 2 on 0s and, even 3 on 0s. Everyone, as one coach explained during a break, was trying to put on a show. It was in this environment where Mailloux was finally able to show his real potential: as a forward. He spent more time behind the opponents' net than his own. Mailloux has very poor first step quickness, but put him in a situation where he can be free flowing with his skating, where the puck comes to him in motion, he has NHL level skating. Couple that with his size, reach, elite hand skills, play making ability, excellent shot and offensive vision and you have a skilled NHL forward. And if Hughes and Co. can't see that: they are collectively blind.

Maybe the coaching staff wanted to take them out to dinner is Anaheim to congratulate them on their achievementSo.. Molson got to get more frequent flyer points on his card? This is so flipping weird.. Not like you couldn't buy them tickets as members of the Rocket?
Might be a rule about travelling with the parent club. That could explain a paper call up
They didn't need to be recalled for that. I think it's the 1 game on the roster paycheck that explains it.

I was surprised at the pace, or the lack of pace, the game was played at. This overall lack of speed and intensity, made the game at times resemble a shinny game that you could see at any neighborhood arena. I know that some of the players tried to put on a show, but most didn't impress this writer.
