Man!!!! it just get better and better >:(

Instead of sending down dead weight like Dagenais.....Bob sent down Perezhogin.......smart move Einstein ::)

Don't understand this move. I don't mind sending Perez down so he can play more but why call all these other kids up if they aren't going to play. Why call up another D-man, we already have 7.

Probably to put pressure on Komisarek? He hasn't played muych lately.

Is a trade brewing or maybe I'm reading too much into this???

Maybe young Komo is on the way out?

Keep in mind you coahc bashers out there..it is the GM who makes personell deiscions like this. Yes the coach has some input but ultimately these are Bob Gainey moves. Obviously he must have something in mind (or lets hope so)

From another board....

According to Montreal reporter Rene Pothier (Habs play by play man for 7 years) now comentator for Rad-Can who was at todays practice and who tonight was on Mario Langlois's sports show on Radio-Canada TV said that the reason Perezoghin was sent down was because of what took place at todays practice.

Apparently Perezoghin was dogging it out there and floating through most of the practice...at one point during 3 on 2 drills Perezoghin wasn't attentive and messed up the drill...right after that Julien banged his stick on the ice quite hard and went over to his assistants to talk...it was apparent he was upset with perezoghin.

There was never any intention of sending Perezoghin down until this occured today according to Pothier.

Wow if this is true, maybe the kid will wake up. I thought maybe there was a trade coming. I just hope this doesn'thurt relations with the coach and Perezhogin. All though the coach isn't there to make friends. Also how will Perez handle going back to Hamilton, especially after the incident a few years back. Hopefully he can handle whatever comes his way and improves his game, because he has lots of talent but needs to work hard on it.

I have to tell you that even when he was getting lots of ice time, to me Perezhogan looked very disinterested out there. Sending him down sends a message to the others. Get your head into it or you could be sharing a hotel room in Hamilton with Perez.

That message just got stronger with the benching of Ribs and Dags!
