Meh, giving 20 minutes to KK won't do anything. He's done here.
Caufield does need to be on the PP and on the ice when you have offensive possession though.

Ouellet and Ylonen called up and will play tonight.
Please put Ylonen and KK.
Please put Ylonen and KK.
The whole excuse is Habs are so tired and how they have zero rest. They should take every day they can in that case.

Sucks Ryan Poehling got injured, I bet he would have been called up for tonight's game.

Alternatively, no point in playing tired or banged up players in a pointless game.

The fatigue part is probably factual considering the unprecedented scheduling this year. We were talking about how the habs schedule was too back loaded beforehand, then the covid outbreak further added to the grind.
They have been going at it every other day or less for the last month and a half, so I don't see how that doesn't factor in.
The question is how much the rest will even matter in the grand scheme of things though, because even if they do come back feeling energized, with almost a full roster, there are still some deep flaws in the team, and there are certain players that they need more from than what they showed in the season so far.
Regardless, this rest/reset is probably the last tool they have left to try and turn the season around, and they should use it as much as they can starting today.

In MTL.
Fans are all up over him and the pressure is going to be way too high for him to do anything, best case is a fresh new start in a new organisation.

Agreed. I think he is more matured in his 2nd pro season and I would of liked to see him test his game at the NHL level.

You might be right there. He's not on a good development road and fans are all over him at age 20. I hope he has thick skin

I think they are more mentally tired than physical. A week off will help. Some other players a banged up so that helps them physically. They have had a rough stretch and they are not going in all confident. I do think they will show up though. Question is how they limit scoring chances and capitalize on our chances.

I hope Ylonen plays, maybe he comes in guns blazing and forces Ducharmes hand. He'd be a great addition if he can bring it.

My guess is the NHL/tv networks didn’t want it to overlap with the Leafs game which is being broadcast nationally.
Which fans are all over him? There are no fans at games, he's not very active on social media, and if he's had good advice he's not reading HF or other fan forums. There are some vocal critics here at HF but this is not the real world.
Kotkaniemi is not watching french tv or listening to french radio. And no player should be reading a thread dedicated to them on HF.
