Recalled/Assigned: Louis Leblanc Recalled

[Team_Spirit]

Just show the ridiculous crew we have as pro scouts.

Call up a kid play him 2 shifts send him down for someone else...

Bunch of amateurs.

1) Moen is day-to-day. Leblanc is a winger.
2) No need to play Parros against Pittsburgh
3) We could use more offensive punch.

 

[Habit11]

Not bad, but I would try:

Patch - DD - Bourque
Briere - Pleks - Gionta
Bournival - Eller - Gallagher
Moen - Prust - Leblanc

Reason being:

Gallagher is being wasted on the 1st line, DD and Patch play with themselves and Gallagher stands in front of the net. Bourque can EASILY do that and he's at least a bigger guy who could cause trouble and is hard to move out the crease.

Gallagher and Eller play very, very well together. He is more useful in my eyes giving Eller someone who can finish his plays. Bournival is very much underrated offensively, he has an amazing shot, and he will thrive in an offensive role IF that line is used that way.

Fourth line is made up of 3 guys that will work hard, and Leblanc could take faceoffs too.

This would be a step in the right direction for sure (I stupidly hope for Pacioretty to play with Plekanec), but you'd have 3 lines capable of scoring and no obvious defensive liability.

 

[Runner77]

He's probably going to be sent down a couple of times before Wednesday's game.

 

[MD thaivuN]

He better beat Wayne Gretzky career points in 2 minutes.

 

[lo striver]

what does Wozniak say about it?

 

[donghabs98]

He better beat Wayne Gretzky career points in 2 minutes.

After reading all of these 2 minute jokes it finally hit me! We should have a 2 minute or else avatar theme!

 

[elsubz]

Hooray so him and bournival will play a total of 5 minutes.

Or does he play longer than it takes the anthem singer to get through his gig?

Recalled player vs. Anthem Singer

 

[Gamimenos]

Hooray so him and bournival will play a total of 5 minutes.

Combined.

 

[NobleSix]

It's a miracle!

Now put these lines together PLEASE THERRIEN:

Pacioretty - Desharnais - Gallagher
Briere - Plekanec - Gionta
Bournival - Eller - Leblanc
Moen - Prust - Bourque

Solid lines, but Let's get real, its therrien were talking about here...

Lines will probably be

Pacioretty - DD - Gallagher
Eller - Plekanec - Moen
Bourque - Briere - Gionta
Bournival - Prust - Leblanc

Subban - Gorges
Emelin - Markov
Bouillon - Diaz
Beaulieu sits

....?

 

[Runner77]

what does Wozniak say about it?

Wozniak says that Habs' decision-making on call-ups is a real racket.

 

[Ice Poutine]

what does Wozniak say about it?

Yeah, i was wondering when exactly would she grace us with her fine knowledge of what the Habs should be doing hockey-wise. I almost lost sleep waiting for her expert input...

 

[JuicyHam]

Solid lines, but Let's get real, its therrien were talking about here...

Lines will probably be

Pacioretty - DD - Gallagher
Eller - Plekanec - Moen
Bourque - Briere - Gionta
Bournival - Prust - White

Subban - Gorges
Emelin - Markov
Bouillon - Diaz
Beaulieu sits

....?

Rather have
Markov-subban
Emelin-gorges
Beaulieu-Diaz

Or even
Emelin-subban
Markov-gorges
Beaulieu-Diaz

Or even
Markov-subban
Beaulieu-gorges
Emelin-Diaz

At least it is better than Carbonneau's lines of old.

 

[Le Barron de HF]

At least it is better than Carbonneau's lines of old.

He would put Murray and Diaz up front.

The sad thing is a week ago, I was thinking about this and I think I'd rather have Murray playing forward than Parros. At least Murray can do a good job protecting the puck behind the net (like he did against Ottawa a few weeks back) and we can play him on the PK.

Yeah well so would I, but Therrien lives in an alternate reality.

 

[nyhabsfan]

Can Wosniek play D or forward?
She's probably bigger than most of our forwards and you know she has good hands.

Louis probably should be the judge about her hands

 

[Mrb1p]

Nice to see him called up.

He'll probably play less than Nattinen.

 

[Tyson]

Leblanc is surprisingly very strong In the corners, possesses excellent hockey sense, plays well in all three zones. He is ready for third line minutes. Been a rocky ride for him but he has NHL pedigree.

 

[Sterling Archer]

Does this mean Bourque sits again?

If so, I'm all for it!

 

[lo striver]

Yeah, i was wondering when exactly would she grace us with her fine knowledge of what the Habs should be doing hockey-wise. I almost lost sleep waiting for her expert input..

at this point I don't think she can't do worse hockey-wise than MB & MT

 

[Smokey Thompson]

From what I remember when we called him up earlier in the season he was pretty weak in the corners and on the puck. That's what I noticed the most, considering his potential NHL role is that of a 3rd liner.

I'm hoping he proves me wrong.
