I hope Ellis gets a couple of games. He's really improved and deserves it.

I know he isnt really a prospect but it would've been nice to see Holloway rewarded for a couple games. Rather than 1 game of 7mins on a bad 4th line.

Pacioretty - Plekanec - Gallagher
Galchenyuk - Eller - Andrighetto
Lessio - DLR - McCarron
Mitchell - Danault - DSP

Markov - Subban
Emelin - Pateryn
Barberio - Ellis

I agree I hope he gets at least a few games, He has deserved it with his play with the Ice Caps. The benefits of selling are we can give the young guys some experience and no doubt McCarron has what it takes to be a forceful player for the Habs. For Ellis this call up is a testament to his work ethic, he struggled coming out of junior and had to work his way up from the ECHL.

terrible, I thought it was bad enough they called up McCarron the first time but to do it now after he's just started to pick things up after going so long without a goal. This organization never seems to learn from rushing prospects to the NHL. At least he's got NHL size/strength. Glad for Ellis though.

Hopefully but Therrien will probably ruin it and put DSP on the 2nd.

Ugh. I didn't want McCarron up. I wanted Hudon up. Let McCarron keep developing in the AHL.

McCarron/DLR are only 20 years old...why is this management eager to rush players to NHL just to appease the grind. This is Hudon/Friberg/Bournival time to evaluate. Guys who are in or closing in on waiver eligibility.

Oh well, not like SL will do any better.

Playing a few games in the NHL does not constitute "rushing".

playing in the NHL as a 20 year old when you aren't playing that great in the AHL is rushing even if it's just a few games. You don't think that a players confidence can be effected by a few games in the NHL?

Right before they play the Kings


So I guess we'll see Ellis beat the snot out of Lucic?

Ellis isn't much of a fighter.

How many good developing NHL teams bring up their 20 year olds to play as Montreal will be doing with McCarron (on major slump in AHL) and DLR (has yet to do well consistently at all in AHL).
