Machine of Loving Grace Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 MONTREAL – The Montreal Canadiens announced Monday that goaltenders Robert Mayer and Dustin Tokarski, defensemen Nathan Beaulieu, Greg Pateryn and Jarred Tinordi, as well as forwards Michaël Bournival, Louis Leblanc and Petteri Nokelainen have been recalled from the AHL Hamilton Bulldogs. All eight players will practice this week in Hamilton under the guidance of the Bulldogs’ coaching staff. They will arrive in Montreal on Sunday, April 28, 2013. Nice to see. Give them a taste for what the playoffs looks like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 It's disappointing that Holland got hurt late in the year. Had he not, I'm sure he was getting a callup. The most notable exclusion from this group is St-Denis. That, coupled with not being recalled this year should more or less guarantee he'll be moving on at the end of the year. Kristo didn't play all that great with Hamilton and that more than likely sealed his fate of not getting recalled. I'm a little surprised that none of them are joining the team right now. I was hoping that Beaulieu or Tinordi in particular would get a game. At any rate, I'm going to have some work to do on the capsheet now as all these players will be getting paid this week.

Trizzak Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 I'm very frightened that Mayer got called up. Why must they scare us so? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 I'm very frightened that Mayer got called up. Why must they scare us so? This isn't his first stint up with the big club this year even, he got the call when Price was sick too. I don't know what makes him so attractive to the organization, he has been at best a mediocre backup goalie on the farm. I'm hoping it's something as simple as the fact that in the playoffs, seldom does the starter practice while the backup often sits too. In that case, there's a spot to use both of them.

Colin Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Two bluechip defenders and another very solid bottom paring guy. Two bottom six forwards and a 13th forward. And one hurt guy who has at least minor aspirations to the second line. Two pretend goaltenders. Well, we know where we're solid for now. Those call-ups should tell us very clearly where the team will be aiming at the draft - or at least, where they don't need to aim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueKross Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Dlbair: We have a limitless roster, but seems to me you can have only certian amount of bodies in any given series. How does that work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's news to me. Where did you hear/read that? If injuries/suspensions arise, a team can't be restricted from using a replacement if they're maxed out on their usable players in a series. It's rare that the 'Black Aces' need to be used anyways but as far as I know, there are no restrictions on how many players a team can use in a single round.

dlbalr Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 that's a baseball rule, not a hockey one Even then you can still replace an injured player by removing him from the 25-man playoff roster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revvvrob Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Even then you can still replace an injured player by removing him from the 25-man playoff roster. i'm easily wrong on this ... but isn't that only between rounds that you can replace the injured player?

dlbalr Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 i'm easily wrong on this ... but isn't that only between rounds that you can replace the injured player? Nope, you can replace in-round if there's an injury. The round-to-round roster can also be amended with other players from the 40-man though. Here's a case of a pitcher getting hurt in Game 2 and being removed one day later: http://sports.nationalpost.com/2012/10/09/cardinals-pitcher-jaime-garcia-removed-from-playoff-roster/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commandant Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 i'm easily wrong on this ... but isn't that only between rounds that you can replace the injured player? No but if you remove an injured player in one round, he is ineligible for the next round too. Ie... remove a player in the NLCS, he is ineligible for the rest of the NLCS and cannot be added back for the WS either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 I'm guessing the Habs may have known in advance that the US wanted Kristo for the World Championships, that might be a reason he wasn't among this group of callups. It's better for his development to be playing over there than sitting in Montreal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlbalr Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 We can add two more to the list...sort of. Gabriel Dumont and Michael Blunden have been re-assigned to the 'Black Aces' group that will practice separately from the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
