I really hope this is the case...minor minor injury (upper body??), but just enough for Price to skip the ALL-STAR game and go home and get some well deserved rest. After all...we want to get as many pts before playoffs, but I'd prefer being slightly lower in standings IF it means being healthier/fresher/more ready for the real season...the playoffs. I actually don't want them to find a way to call Pacioretty last second for the all-star game...I want all of our Habs to skip the ALL-STAR game...it's has become a joke now for several yrs, imo, waste of rest time...
Amd, obviously if we can get as many pts in standings AND stay fresh/ready/healthy for playoffs, then great, but...health and playoffs are no.1 in my book!!
Exactly what I was thinking...but giving Condon ALL the no.1 minutes in Hamilton is better for Condon). McDonald will mostly/entirely warm the bench for Tokarski (while Condon gets EVERY game or should unless Lefebvre screws taht up by giving it to Hamilton's no.3 goalie?!!). But...if Tokarski gets pulled I'd rather see what Condon could do (didn't Bergevin recently say that Condon is almost NHL ready...that's a pretty good stamp of approval).
Kreider, Emelin (ZERO hockey sense/I.Q.) slashing Kreider instead of catching up to him or hooking/lifting his stick, Pacioretty and other Hab players always pushing/shoving players on top of Price...something's gotta give!!
(I'm sure most of us will forgive Pacioretty this time, but it shouldn't happen...period).Seriously...we have to do a better job at protecting Price.
He's our king/queen bee...needs full protection at all time.

McDonald won't see any time though. He's only a precaution in case Tokarski gets hurt. If Price was hurt long time then I would agree as there would be some starts for both goalies but this is just a "Pine Duty" call up.

Tok should get all the starts until Price is back and Condon needs to play as much as possible.
Only two games till the break. Toker for both of those and let Price rest up till after the break.

I'm so hoping none of our players go.
Sekac, block a shot and feel some pain.
All-star game + events is horrible now. I used to like it at some point in my life... but it's been terrible for years.

I like Tokarski (more than Budaj), but it's obvious he's waaaay behind Price, mainly because of rebound control and his play behind the net. He may get similar numbers (save percentage), but yeah, he's not there yet.
Even though he had a good run against the Rangers, I still wish we could re-play this series with Price in net.

You are aware that the rookies dont actually play in the game, they're just there for the skills competition.

Step down from your high horse for a second...
#1 There used to be a rookie game. I have no clue if there is still one. Nor does it matter in my argument.
#2 Players go back to family in their home country and get to relax and not worry about anything whereas with these events they need to participate in stuff, do interviews, etc. It's still work. I'd rather Sekac enjoy one week off without having to worry about anything.
#3 The actual game is not demanding at all. No one actually plays hard. It's really rare that anyone gets injured there. It's not why players decline to go and why teams would rather see their players take the week off.

Could be worse... Like rinne in Nashville.
Or you know... Like the last two playoffs where price was not available to finish the series.

I'm assuming it was the point in your life before puberty was finished, cause that's when I used to like it.

Interesting fact: Price has finished the season with a injury for the past 3 seasons.
2011-12- He had a concussion and missed the final few games.
2012-13- He was injured in the playoffs.
2013-14- Injured in the playoffs.

Yep.
Is it really an age thing ?
Maybe it is.
But when Lemieux, Gretzky, Yzerman, Selanne, Bourque, etc* were part of it... I felt like there were insane star power there. You could really see some great things in the skill comp and actual game.
Nowadays I'm looking at the players who are there and nothing compares... is it age or sentimentality ?
EDIT : *etc includes Sakic, Fedorov, Mogilny, Bure, Roy, Brodeur, Hasek and more ! Many of which would be twice the choice of the all star week end as the guys who are there this year

the irony
I keep saying how I know very little and I always try to give the benefit of the doubt to the professionals running the club.. so that makes me arrogant on these boards I guess...
