Who is Carr?
An important piece of the future for the Habs moving forward. He was the leading goal scorer for the Bulldogs. Quietly doing his job. And he knows how to win as he helped lead his college team to a national championship. Good size as well. Glad to see him get a sniff of an opportunity.
Sad to see Tinordi not brought up.
Perhaps but in the games I've seen Carr didn't stand out at all. He also looked smallish and skinny but good speed. I saw the last 3 games, he did score on a wicked backhander though.
Can't bring Tinordi up since he's been out since March 15th or so. No update on his injury which was said to be 3 weeks but is already over a month.
For those who watch AHL hockey and follow the Bulldogs, were they expected to make the playoffs this year? I know they missed last season as well. Was the roster not that great or Lefebvre is to blame?
Guess we'll find out what management thinks since we currently don't have any coaches under contract for our AHL club next season. If they get re-signed then management is clearly ok with missing the playoffs for the last 3 years and having the worst PP over that span (30th, 29th and 30th) But if they do get re-signed it's because they have done a good job of getting their players to work hard consistently and play a sound defensive game, as just about all the AHL call ups have not hurt the Habs in their own end. On the other hand most have struggled to produce offense and with our top 2 prospects in Scherbak and McCarron, management might want to find a coaching staff that works on helping improve their offensive game.
Glad he is not being called up. The last thing the Habs need is another undersized player on the roster.
He and Hudon were the best forwards in the games I saw and last game of the season he was likely their best forward (although Bozon had a good game and almost won it in OT) But it's not like Ghetto was going to dress in any games unless we get a number of injuries. Ghetto's ppg was a hair under Hudon's who was 2nd on the team in scoring, so at least he showed improvement in producing for the Dogs.
Smart move. Is bourny still injured?
yes, hasn't played since March 13th.
That's the only question mark for me....Lernout but no Didier? They have seen enough for Didier to NOT sign him? Or to sign him but no need to be around?
I saw the last 3 games and Didier was easily more noticeable then Lernout. Lernout was a bit shaky in the one game, was surprised to see him getting PP time though. Was surprised they called up Lernout but not Bennett, in the final 2 games he was skating so well, man can he move out there.
Could he even be called up if he's not under official contract by the Canadiens?
I don't think so, but perhaps they could do it un-officially, meaning he could just work out with the black aces but not be a call up.
