MMPL Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 (edited) Diago has definitely earned it. :clap: Any guesses on who he will play with/who he will temperarely replace? Does it mean Tangs injury is worse than what it has been reported? Edited December 7, 2008 by MMPL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canajun Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 I was very happy to hear this. We need some new blood in the lineup - some rookie enthusiasm. Hopefully he'll add some more *jam* (as Maguire says) too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAK Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 If guillaume can play , i'm sure Dagostini will eat NHL popcorn. may get a start in montreal on saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 I'm curious to see where he'd get in the line-up. He might be worth a shot to play on the top two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canajun Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Oh fine, I'll be the first to say it... Trade in the works? :ninja: Yep, Lang on the way out, Sergei down to Hamilton, Sundin coming aboard, and D'Agostini in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koivu Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 glad they are giving him a chance, he has earned it in Hamilton. "28 points (8-20-28) in 15 games (2006) ... His 15-game point-scoring streak was the longest in the OHL playoffs (2006)" like that hes a big game performer - hope he sticks around Now if they could just find way to bring Chipchura back, would be happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canajun Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 D'Agostini and Chipchura would totally change the face of this team koivu... for the better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAK Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 I don't think that D'Agostini is here for the long run. Hamilton plays a game at the bell on sunday my guess is that he'll be there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saskhab Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Latendresse and Tanguay are both questionable, so it's just a matter of needed an extra body. That it happens to be a guy that is deserving a callup is just gravy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lazy26 Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Maguire is great. He just has trouble admitting when he's wrong. But he knows his stuff. I agree. He's not perfect, but his enthusiasm more than compensates for that fact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaos Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 He's not due to stick around till next year when salary cap considerings will make it necessary. ITs just a body for a just incase scenario Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easy Ryder Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Kovalev, Latendresse questionnable for tonight. An option there is to insert D'Agostini with Sergei and Lang, two passer a scorer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koivu Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 I hope they give him a solid shot. Hes worked his butt of in Hamilton, and he deserves as much. Latendresse can take his time getting 'well' - no rush, really Sergei Kostitsyn is pretty up and down, although he always seems to come up with one good play or 1 nasty hit per game some how - just wish he was a bit more consistent. So there should be some room for D'Agostini . Plus back to back games coming, so there could be some tired bodies out there by Saturday night, that hopefully Matt can jump in for. 14 Goals in 20 games including 5 on the PP - this really is time of year to infuse some of these kids into the lineup and see what they can do.

I like this. Sergei and D'Ago know each others. Lang is a solid vet to complete the line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CerebusClone Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 D'Agostini has to be in the lineup if both Tanguay and Latendresse are injured, we can't put two marginal forth liners on the top 3 lines. My lineup would be as follows: D'Agostini-Plek-Kovy Higgins-Koivu-A.Kostsitsyn S.Kostsitsyn-Lang-Kostopoulos I've always wanted to see Koivu and A.Kostsitsyn together on a same line, and this game could be a could opportunity to try it. The third line was doing quite well earlier this season before Higgins came back, so we could reunite those three. As for D'Agostini, taking a young rookie under their wing could be exactly what Plekanec and Kovalev need to find their rhythm back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 I wouldn't be surprised if he does play tonight. Carbo and Gainey aren't the kind of guys who will call up their top scorer in the AHL without giving him some ice-time. Logically, the first call up should be Chipchura.

Athlétique.Canadien Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 I always get a kick out of D'Agostini when he plays with the big club. After all, it could be argued that he could easily pass for being Higgins fraternal (almost identical) twin brother or just even a regular brother. The similarity is only strong when he is wearing his helmet. He doesn't quite look so similar without the helmet: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habsfan84 Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 This is a good call up but i wonder why Chips didnt get called up first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAK Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 This is a good call up but i wonder why Chips didnt get called up first. Because it's their offensive wingers that got hurt. if they lose a centerman, Chipchura has a chance to be called up. hehe, I *like* Maguire. In fact, I wish he was our coach. yeah his hockey credentials are awesome it would be Melrose all over again. if he ever comes back it'll as a gm or an assistant to his buddy Bowman.
