Robert will most likely be back when the NHL break ends at the conclusion of the Olympics. Even so it will be a good opportunity to face NHLers in practice and have a dedicated goalie coach for a change.
Can only help him (and us) in the long run. |

Even if its just for the break and he doesn't see an NHL game, talk about getting great experience. I bet he was excited to hear that news.
Hopefully Smith holds up well against Wheeling tomorrow night. |

Yep. The only reason they would do this is for coaching and practice opportunies. Obviously they are looking at him.

| Look for Carey Price to be the goalie Montreal trades, as new GM Pierre Gauthier has a thing for European-born players. |

You'll be fine. The Nailers have Teslak in goal while Berkhoel nurses an injury. If Smith can hold Wheeling to less than double figures, it's two points for the Cyclones. |

| Smith is an outstanding goalie. We all know this. He made the American Conference All-Star Team. Jeremy is awesome- all this does is take away the best goalie tandem in the ECHL but that just means Smith is going to play more so I think we are fine. |

NHL teams resumed practice today and with Halak in the Olympics and Hamilton playing a schedule full of games, the Habs need another goalie for practice. Practicing against NHL talent should only make Robbie better and hopefully it will slow things down for him when he gets back here.
Smith is an excellent goalie as well and I think the team is just as strong regardless of who is in net. The part that concerns me is, just as cyclonesfan7180 pointed out, breaking up the tandem. This call up is most likely for practice reasons so Jeremy won't have to carry the load for more than the next 3 to 4 games. However, it's well documented that MTL probably wants to move a goalie by the March 3rd trade deadline. Regardless of whether it's Price or Halak that get's moved it means Robbie get's recalled to Hamilton, unless there is another goalie involved in the deal. In 06-07 Cedrick just flat ran out of gas against Dayton in the playoffs after carrying the load down the stretch. This team is much better than the 06-07 team and I'd hate to see their chances get squelched do to goalie fatigue. |

| elvis77 i believe that you are right- Carey Price is probably going to get moved. Which as you pointed out keeps Mayer in Hamilton or Milwaukee. But I think Jeremy can handle the load. After all didn't Cedrick play everyday pretty much in 06-07? I'm not sure this roster is quite as good as 06-07 but they are playing better hockey because of the defense |

Cincinnati:
Delete Lee Lansdowne, G released as emergency backup goaltender
I'd take this as a good sign that Mayer will be back tomorrow night.

| I think they have to add and delete an EBUG every game. So don't count on it just yet. |
