The game is regional, Sportsnet/CBC couldn't convert it to a 7 PM start to put it in the vacated VAN-TOR slot as TSN had the rights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 The flames beat them a couple of days ago, the night before the beat the leafs. It is possible to win back to back games if you show, play hard and actually score Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm inclined to put some on the roster but some on the coaching staff. I don't think this is a better team since the coaching change other than a bit more disciplined and the power play resembling a power play for a couple of weeks before going back to its usual ineptitude. I am not impressed with Ducharme at all and his inability to motivate the team to show up for more than one game at a time is getting old quickly. 6 minutes ago, GHT120 said: Was last night and/or this on the original schedule or was it a Covid consequence? The latter. Here's what the original was (with a bit before and after for context): April 10 Winnipeg, 7 p.m. April 12 Toronto, 7 p.m. April 14 Calgary, 7 p.m. April 16 Calgary, 7 p.m. April 19 at Edmonton, 9 p.m. April 20 at Edmonton, 9 p.m. April 22 at Calgary, 9 p.m. April 24 at Calgary, 7 p.m. April 26 at Calgary, 10 p.m. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I understand it Habs are up against the cap ... to add any player means waiving someone and that would be the last "regular call-up" for the season ... so whoever is demoted is off the roster for the rest of the season unless an emergency situation (as defined by the NHL, see below) exists ... seems risky to do that this early ... if an "emergency" develops then it could be well worth considering giving him some games to see how he does 13.12 Transfers To/From Minors.

That’s what Poile did with Subban. He didn’t get much, but he didn’t end up wasting available cap space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't need to waive him to send him down. He's still exempt having cleared waivers last weekend. They can't send him down to put themselves into an emergency situation either as it's not injury-related. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
