Pepsi Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Totally agree. Byron was idiot for the original hit and an idiot for accepting the scrap. He paid twice and put himself in this predicament. However, Weegar instigated it and should have at least got an instigator penalty. With all the Don cherry old school code crap, I am sure big Mackenzie is proud that he knocked out a guy 40 lbs lighter than him. Most noticeable disappointing for me is no Hab stepped up to defend Byron. They all buy in to the Code and thus cannot or will not defend him. Most noticeably is the big softy of a Captain we have. I supported his pick over Gallagher but now have second thoughts. Ya I know it is an emotional rant but the whole thing just pissed me off so thanks for letting me vent. Tonight is do or die!

GHG I love the passion, share your disgust at this bogus 'code,' and I've never really bought into the Cult of Weber, but come on man - this isn't Hal Gill we're talking about. He ain't soft. Not in the least. And the responsibility for this mess lies with Byron. All he had to do was not fight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neech Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 This dumb injury is another reason why you don't give Byron that contract mid-season. We'd still be able to sign him for that much or less this summer, and he may be damaged goods now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCHabnut Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Copied an engles tweet... Eric Engels ✔@EricEngels · Jan 31, 2019 Amidst speculation in the marketplace that defenceman Noah Juulsen has a career-threatening eye injury and a damaged nerve in his face, the Canadiens will only say that he has an upper-body injury, an injury requiring rest, and that he does NOT have a concussion. Eric Engels ✔@EricEngels Juulsen suffered a facial fracture after being struck in the face by a puck in a game against the Washington Capitals on Nov. 19. He returned to play four games in a full facial shield with Montreal from Dec. 11-17. Last appeared in a game with @RocketLaval on Dec. 27.

tomh009 Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 There was an article on Juulsen on The Athletic this week. He really gave very little detail on his injuries but did say that he had problems during recovery with his peripheral vision — but that he now feels he is back to 100%.

Neech Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Knee surgery for Kotka out of the blue is disconcerting, unless they gave him bionic parts so he'll have wheels like McDavid! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commandant Posted April 24, 2019 Author Share Posted April 24, 2019 Its a minor.arthroscopic procedure. Even if this was the regular season hed be out 3-4 weeks. Its not something serious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlbalr Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Joel Teasdale is out at least 7 months due to a torn ACL and MCL. Surgery will be required (likely when the swelling subsides enough to actually do it). https://www.nhl.com/canadiens/news/joel-teasdale-out-for-a-minimum-of-seven-months-due-to-a-knee-injury/c-308550130 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DON Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Sucks to hear that, kinda thought he would have a DD's chance of making it and this is obviously a huge setback for the kid. Are all the expected guys to be on Habs roster 100% healthy going in Sept? Am likely overlooking an obvious one, but cant think of any at moment. KK had knee fix long ago, someone else had nose surgery..but drawing a blank on any others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trizzak Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Juulsen's headaches could explain the interest in Honka (I mean, other than Bergevin's default interest in literally every bottom 4 defenseman out there.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
