Recalled/Assigned: Louis Leblanc called up

[PyrettaBlaze]

Per Twitter:

@MAGodin:
Louis Leblanc rappelé.

@JohnLuTSNMtl:
#Habs Leblanc is being recalled to play tomorrow in NJ. Undetermined whether he'll play centre or wing.

[ReVeuF]

Nice

[Em Ancien]

Please oh please, let Gomez center the 4th line and have AK or Leblanc move to the Pleks line.

[PyrettaBlaze]

I guess White STILL isn't ready...

[PricePkPatch]

We swapped Engvist with Leblanc, effectively.

[Andy]

Yay!

Seriously though what is RC thinking? He doesn't use Nokelainen for weeks and opts to play with three centermen, using his 4th sparingly. Then a winger gets hurt and he decides to call up a centerman?

I like Blunden, but not on any other line but the 4th. I'm happy Leblanc is back.

[Mover]

Loooooooooooooooooooooouis! WOOT!

[PunkinDrublic*]

I feel sorry for any call up with this team.

Engvist got 4th line duties with Darche ! Arggggg ! So will Leblanc.

maybe not. last time i saw him with kost and eller he looked decent.

[Monctonscout]

I think they will play him with Bourque and Plekanec since the Gomez on the wing thing doesn't seem to work.

a trade in the works

This is how most teams who are not the Isles or Oilers break in rookies. Ask Helm or Abdelkader. This is how Plekanec started his career.

Not sure if it's going to be a trade but there were rumors that the Habs would get rid of Gomez very soon after the ASG. Not sure how credible that was but i sure hope this is it.

[llamateizer]

yeah yeah!!

Ok i could live with that.

I watched Darche skate around like a chicken without a head last night. He needs to sit for a while. Hopefully White is back in NJ.

[Bleu Blanc Rouge]

yay

ya don't get your hopes up, Gomez and his salary aren't going anywhere. Molson ain't paying him that ridiculous contract to play in the minors

[odishabs]

Pacioretty - Desharnais - Cole
Bourque - Plekanec - LeBlanc
Kostitsyn - Eller - Blunden
Darche - Gomez - White

Oh remove Darche please ! I am so sick of him it's not funny !

And where is Moen ? Healthy Moen switch him with Blunden and put Blunden in place of Darche.

[Gally94]

Thank god Louis comes back. If I still see Blunden with Eller and Kostitsyn thursday...i'm gonna freak out. I'd much like have Darche with Eller and Kostitsyn than Blunden (which would be a good hardworking 4th liner and thats it).

On a side note, I don't know what to do with Plekanec. In the past 20 games or so, all he has been doing is dumping the puck on every single shift or so. Whats the problem?

I guess that would be my lines :

Pacioretty - Desharnais - Cole (play 20 minutes)
Bourque - Eller - Kostitsyn (play 16 minutes)
Gomez - Plekanec - Leblanc (play 12 minutes)
Darche - White - Blunden (play 8 minutes)

Engvist's sole duty was to warm up the bench. He didn't get 4th line duties.

Five and a half million to not have to watch Gomez next year, bargain.
