Stu Cowan: Canadiens' Victor Mete keeps proving he can play in the NHL

Thanks for the article Zman77!

What Mete carry above his shoulders makes his skills and speed repairs on the go any of his mistakes, even at NHL level. He's not the most points getting defenseman that ever laced up for the Knights over years but he's one of the most liked that ever did !!!

sounds like Dec 19th is when we will see if there is a chance of Mete coming back as that's when the NHL roster freeze is as per Bob McKenzie Mete will need to be released by then to play for team Canada

Max Jones:
Invited to Team USA for World Junior Championship
Ryan Pyette: LFP
The Knights power forward was named to USA Hockey’s 28-man preliminary roster for the tournament in Buffalo and will attend the team’s selection camp starting Dec. 15 in Columbus, Ohio.
Jones and Windsor’s Logan Brown — both Memorial Cup champions — are the only OHLers among the 15 forwards vying for a spot on the defending champion’s 23-man final squad. That decision is expected Dec.23.
Jones, a 19-year-old Anaheim Ducks first-rounder, has scored 14 times in 21 games with London this season.
“He’s played very well for us and scored a lot of big goals,”
Knights GM Rob Simpson said.
“At (USA Hockey’s) summer camp, he got hurt (blocking a shot) and didn’t play for them the last game, but when he did play, he was a factor.”
The Canadian selection camp roster will be revealed Wednesday. Knights captain Robert Thomas, a St. Louis Blues first-rounder, and fellow forward Alex Formenton, who started the season with the Ottawa Senators, are frontrunners to earn invites.
Fellow Knights Cliff Pu and Evan Bouchard are also being considered for camp spots.
Brady Tkachuk, younger brother of ex-Knight Matthew and a former draft pick of the Knights, was also named to the USA preliminary roster. He’s a freshman forward at Boston University.
“It’s nice when you see players go play for their country, are able to medal and have an impact with their teams,” Simpson said.
“Hopefully, Max has that chance.”
Jones was a standout on the U.S. under-17 team before joining the Knights in 2015. Despite his aggressive style, he only has 24 penalty minutes this season.
“If you look at his past 10 games — maybe more than that — he’s been very disciplined and able to adapt and play within himself,” Simpson said.
“That speaks volumes to him being open and thinking about where he’s been penalized and making changes to adjust to that. Any time he’s on the ice more than he’s in the box, that’s a big plus for any team with him on it.”
Jones has shot at U.S. team

I watched the entire Habs game against the Blus and Mete struggled quite a bit.

Bergevin is truly incompetent if he stays up there.

 

[TheCoach]

you missed the sarcasm obviously lol first you claimed Weber was currently injured that was incorrect. Second you made it sound like Weber is injured so mete wont move. but yet there is still 14 days till a decision is needed next time do your fact checking it will go a long way

nice try; you totally missed the point; reading comprehension is important.

 

[TheCoach]

nice try; you totally missed the point; reading comprehension is important.

really you just don't get it let me spell it out for you

Shea Weber is injured; chances becoming less likely of Mete moving

the fact BEING Weber wasn't injured. So yes please go do some research before you try and act like you know what you're talking about being factually correct is important.

Every year I hope the 9000+ Fans that show up for the teddy bear toss game can generate 12,000 or more bears. Every year much like some on here that I know get frustrated by bringing bags full 50, 60, 70 stuffed critters and by the end of the night we've barely broke the 1 stuffed critter per person barrier.

I'm not sure on the attendence last night in Kitchener but sell out is 6200 and the lone hilite I saw last night didn't look to have a sellout but they managed to donate almost 11 thousand bears last night.

Its something that grinds my gears every year and it shouldn't be that hard for Knights fans to get 14000. Just me wanting to see the less fortunate kids with a smile a Christmas.

Not that it matters but the Aud was packed last night. A sell out is over 7000. I think the game sheet says 7132. Teddy Bears are the only thing we can beat the Knights at. Take that away we got nothing
Would be great though to see the Knights beat our number. Goes to a great cause.

You(we) don't HAVE TO give or bring TBs to the rink, give for the spirit, the needs and for the means . Not for the bragging rights , at the beginning it was bring in that extra stuff annimal you had laying around at home, then it was buy an extra one for the toss while at the store, now it's two or more. WE (wife and I) always bring two each every year since the 2007-8 season before that it was one each or one from both of us, Please give from the heart not for the size(s) , if you know what mean. Give by what you can, if you can't then you can't but do not judge, because it's not what this is all about .

It's the people that wonder around with multiple beers not bears that bother me. Those people get 1 bear and we get to 12000 bears. Look at Edmonton and Calrgary they're into the high teens and low 20 thousands with their nights. It's about giving to the less fortunate and going to the dollar and spending 5 bucks isn't a big deal.

[Maxxim1]

It is a little disappointing to see fairly affluent people enter the Bud with their $25 tickets, without a stuffed animal, and head straight to the $10 beer vendors. It’s all about the kids. Some people don’t get it.

 

[aresknights]

To be honest their are many needs at christmas and thru the year that outweigh a stuff toy.
Yes i always give multi bears snd also work closely with many org providing help in many different ways.
It stopped bugging me a while back.
I get its frustratimg for some thou

 

[nelli27]

I don't even like children...I'm allergic to them. But, I still toss bears onto the ice. Why? Just because it's cool to attend a hockey game, and watch 9000 bears sail through the air and land on the ice as part of a goal celebration. I keep telling you--it's the spectacle!

 

[Buttsy]

Wow gotta give him credit, old dogs and new tricks normally don't mix? Perhaps in the "Show" he wins the Lady Byng?

Who will step up in the absence of Jones and likely Thomas, Formenton/Pu
