Recalled/Assigned: Owen Beck and Logan Mailloux recalled from the Laval Rocket

[MarkovsKnee]

is there an allstar game this year? lol if there is, and the 4 nations tourney
NHL is cringing itself out of prosports with all this garbage

The AHL has an All Star Game, which is Monday. Tomorrow, Sunday, is the Skills competition.

Both Beck & Mailloux were invited to the event, which is coincidentally being held in California while Montreal is doing their annual California trip.

I assumed, as others did, that they would be called up Tuesday - after the event - to join up with the Canadiens for the rest of their trip.

It's why Montreal were OK with taking 20 skaters, because Beck & Mailloux were going to California, too.

 

[yianik]

No game today?

Damn, Saturday is the one day I get where I can sit down and watch.

No Habs on a Saturday has always felt extremely weird to me.



I don't know how the 4 nations will be received but I do know that I'll take it over the All star game any day of the week.

There isn't a single all star game among all the sports that I have any interest in watching. I completely understand why the players play the all star game the way they do but for me it's unwatchable.

Didn't know X was a member of village people

 

[Team_Spirit]

They did not want the boys to fly commercial with all the recent news.

 

[CharleyHorse]

Weird. Montreal plays tomorrow, but tomorrow is also when the AHL All Star Game festivities start. Both these players are supposed to be participating in it.

Montreal is in California and the All Star Game is in California. Are they just adding them to the plane for the ride there?

Ya know what they say: a penny saved is a penny earned. Might as well kill two birds with one stone and save on airfare, right

 

[Habs Icing]

AM I SMELLING A TRADE???

Man, it isn't easy keeping up with the youngins' slang. When did fart become trade in the modern lexicon?

Sweaty player's equipment smell is very long range.

Same here. Zero interest, although, in fairness, the event isn't aimed at anyone close to my age group.

Overall, I like the obligation players have to help promote the game that pays them so well. It teaches these young millionaires maturity and responsibility to something beyond themselves (aside from dimwitted morons like Kucherov).

 

[Kobe Armstrong]

Maybe this is why?

Trade em both + for Mercer or Schneider

Your discussion on obligation is something that I'm impressed with and glad it's done. It's not because of promoting the game for me , it's the giving back to community as they understand how privileged they are.

I mean the players earned to be where they are. But they have a responsibility. Going to community events, hospitals , talking to kids etc. They are looked up to, their mere presence makes a difference.

I have always thought hockey players to be the most grounded and community involved athletes of the big sports.

Maybe this is why?

I can't see the Habs trading both Carrier and Savard.

That would mean not one French Canadian player on the roster.

Untenable from a business standpoint.

Montembault isn't French Canadian!?

Oh you're right thank you.

That’s why I thought the simple answer was they were called up due to injuries.
