A Case To Play Alex Belzile
–
There is certainly some risk in having a player make his NHL debut in a must-win series to get to the playoffs but in the case of the Habs and Alex Belzile, it’s one that may very well be worth taking.
There is certainly some risk in having a player make his NHL debut in a must-win series to get to the playoffs but in the case of the Habs and Alex Belzile, it’s one that may very well be worth taking.
Before the Habs revealed their training camp roster last weekend, they had announced that Max Domi wouldn’t be there right away and instead would wait 7-10 days to make a decision. It appears that he has made his choice as he was at practice with the team on Monday.
Several Hall of Famers highlighted Montreal’s top Ontario line. Even more weren’t selected but some of them were voted onto their second unit. Here’s who made the cut.
Montreal’s top Ontario line featured five Hall of Famers with several others not making the cut. Are those players now worthy of selection on line two?
The fact that he was included on Montreal’s training camp roster took any suspense out of the process but Alexander Romanov has now officially signed his entry-level deal with the Canadiens. The deal will begin in the 2019-20 season.
While the expectation was that Montreal would unveil their training camp roster on Monday, they instead released it late Sunday. A total of 33 players will be attending camp which begins on Monday.
It appears that the Habs will not be escaping unscathed from the coronavirus pandemic as a report from Arpon Basu of The Athletic notes that at least three players have reportedly tested positive for the virus in recent days.
The Habs will be announcing their training camp roster on Monday but Max Domi will not be among that group. Instead, the team announced Sunday that they will wait 7-10 days before deciding on whether or not Domi will rejoin the team.
The Habs have had plenty of impact players from Ontario including numerous Hall of Famers. However, only a select six were voting to Montreal’s All-Time Ontario line.
Karl Alzner was going to be on the bubble for earning a spot on Montreal’s roster for their upcoming series against Pittsburgh but his fate has been decided as he has opted out of playing.
