Recalled. Why? Guy is total trash. 2 points in last 10 AHL games and was dreadful in his short stint in the NHL

Why? We've been terrible at the dot lately. Could be useful in a few key defensive draws. Man we really miss Bozak in this regard.

 

[Mike Martin]

He isn't trash, he's a Defensive player who is generally good on faceoffs, you can't expect everyone on the roster to score goals.

 

[Stephen]

Dislike him tremendously.

O god

Short tint in the NHL? He has played in over 600 NHL games.

 

[Torontonian]

Life at our center position is rough

 

[The Magic Man]

Some people are new to the concept of a true 4th line center. It's not like we have Strome tearing up the AHL.

 

[Duke Silver]

David Steckel 2.0.

Great on faceoffs. Terrible at just about everything else.

 

[Cams]

Until Bolland/Bozak are back - no Trevor Smith... what other option was there???

In a fourth-line role? None, really. Just a crappy situation.

Damn

Was holding on to some small hope that McKegg or Carrick would get the call. If they're any worse than Smithson (which I doubt), I wouldn't mind giving them the opportunity to prove it. Smithson has already shown his little value.

Short stint this season.

 

[Primary Assist]

that's fine. Smithson is an AHL callup on a roster full of NHL players. If our boys do their job then this should be inconsequential.

 

[ShaneFalco]

Steckel 2.0
Bozak will be back soon though, if that's of any comfort

 

[Warden of the North]

Rather a kid in his place. Dont like him as an NHLer at all

 

[JackJ]

Carrick deserved the call. ******* you Carlyle.

 

[Havoc]

Insert random name.

He'll play 4 mins a game. It's not a big deal who was called up. Chill.

In other news, we are close to a top three pick. Celebration time soon.

Coach usually has little to do with this. Its usually the AGM charged with control of the Marlies in conjunction with the Marlies coach.

You don't celebrate when you're at the bottom.

 

[Diatomic]

Smithson is garbage. He had like 1 shot in 130mins of ice-time, absolute piece of ****

The coachs always have input on whos called up.

 

[SnazzyNazzy]

**** off.

 

[Larcos_Unal]

Nnnnnnoooooooooooooooo

Darryl Boyce is playing on an AHL contract with Springfield.

You have to wonder why we just couldn't just bring someone like him in.

Smithson is a worse Dave Steckel.
