The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 It was probably a case of Miller trying to spark his team. Players will often accept an "offer" of a fight, on the understanding that they get a sort of IOU if they ever want a fight in the future. The only good news in all of this is that, if Mete draws in, the proportion of our D that can skate and move the puck will be increased. Then again, they'll probably use Fleury or some other D-man instead, LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The option is Ouellet ... and the thought might even have passed through DD/Richardson's heads as Calgary may well bring a very HEAVY game tonight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomh009 Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 So, Chiarot has a fracture in his right hand. No word yet on the severity of the fracture. https://twitter.com/CanadiensMTL/status/1370164938669457413?s=20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the whole idea of fighting to spark your team is stupid and it could have just have easily been Miller who broke his hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not debating that it was unnecessary. My thought was Miller wanted to fight Kotkaniemi for the boarding and Chiarot stepped up instead.

It will be interesting to see if the Habs feel they can survive that long with Mete in the lineup, or need to acquire a legit top 4 D ... how Romanov does may play a big role in that.

They are now expecting 6-8 weeks for recovery -- most of the rest of the season. Ouellet will be playing in Mete's place tonight. No other D on the taxi squad, and Ducharme says he is not planning to call anyone else up until they return home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
habs#4,9,10,33 Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 We’re in trouble. I’m hoping for some sort of a experience D as a pickup here. Ekholm will cost to much and we’re not ready for a run at cup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds like an OK plan, a patch until they can get home. It is hard to say with Dom, but if they are still managing players like before, this will be like evaluating the depth defensemen they have prior to a trade before the deadline in early April. If Ouellet is on par with Mete and Romanov doesn't perform well with Weber, the Habs will most likely trade for a LD or call it a "learning season" for KK and Suzy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DON Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Oulette looked OK in Aug play and Kulak & Mete have both looked very weak. 3rd pairing gets pinned in own end for way too long and often. But at least Mete has an excuse, he simply hasnt played much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DON Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 UP to 8 weeks for Chiarot. Will be interesting what Bergy plans to do for next month or two? Mete-Kulak-Romanov all are sketchy and poor Weber pairing guys to fill in and dont want to frig with top pairing Petry-Edmundson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe Bergevin said in one of his press conferences that Toffoli wasn't expected to play as it would be risky asking him to play with just one practice under his belt. Thursday would seem more likely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expect we will know more after practice or more likely tomorrow after morning skate (if there is one) ... tonight (hopefully) will be the first time TT is on the ice since he sat out ... tomorrow (i.e., how he "recovers" from the practice) will likely tell the tale of whether he is healthy enough to play ... no need to risk it for one game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
habs#4,9,10,33 Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 If we can weather the storm here until toffoli and Staal joins the team, we’ll be in very good shape down the stretch here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huzer Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Price not traveling to Toronto. Those hoping to see Allen getting a slightly extended look may get their wish. Primeau called up and added to the taxi squad. And I guess since it's not in this thread, Gallagher out with the broken thumb for a few weeks.

Looks like RDS/Biron was right about his being uncomfortable last night after the Archibald "meet&greet" (see below) ... hope they don't let Carey push his way back into the crease before too soon (I am certain he will WANT to play) ... but soft tissue pulls/strains/tweaks/bruises/etc can linger and the habs will need Price at top form for the playoffs Expect primeau will dress in TO ... otherwise dress Lindgren and call-up Demchenko to fill the mandatory taxi squad goalie spot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looked harmless but you could see his knee bend backwards and Price reacted hard so I guess that’s it. I hope he is back fully healthy soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
