Habs Changes

January 15, 2018

It all depends how you want to view the glass today for the Montreal Canadiens. Phillip Danault’s scans came back normal after taking a 115 kilometre per hour slap shot to the ear from Zdeno Chara Saturday night and he was released from the hospital Sunday, but Danault has suffered a brain injury complaining to the coaching staff of continuous headaches.  Danault will not play in the contest against the New York Islanders at the Bell Centre tonight and he will not travel to Boston for the Wednesday affair in Massachusetts.

    Reality,read between the lines here: the injurys to andrew shaw,danault,weber are unfortunate yes,but it in a way a good thing towards the tanking perspective. Watch now management will be cautious as well they should and sitout,rest,sideline,shutdown the injured vets all while not calling up sherback to let him develop on the farm. The acquisition of logan shaw is a temporary fill in bandaid solution to get a body in a hole while not depleting the rockets team,why? Because again the rocket have a new name,new building,new venture,management wants a winning rocket ssn to further grow the rockets attendence,sales etc.
    Meanwhile the habs are in FULL TANKMODE injurys help ice a crappy team to ensure that top draft choice.
