Meh, he put up a few blogs when no one else was there. At least he did something, never promised to generate regular content. I don't blame Smillie for not having the interest in investing more time (or actually having more time in his personal life) for putting out blogs.

This fail is 100% on EK (and this failing website).

well, it wasn't necessarily a "promise" but when he came back and posted his last blog he had mentioned he'd be filling the habs blogger role on a regular basis, so informing people about his intentions isn't that much to ask.

Juraj Slafkovsky was not nominated for the Slovakia Olympic Qualifier Team this morning.

I remember him saying it wasn't up to him, Habs would decide if they allow him to go or not.

I'm guessing they said no.

Yeah, the games are really close to the start of camp... Habs likely do not want to see an injury to start the year.

Especially given the Hans injury (bad) luck the last few years.

Juri and Mesar are not on the team, pretty obvious their focus is not on a qualifying game but on their season with MTL

i would love to. and i'd like to do it in a little more extreme nature. i want nj to be where colorado is.

Please don't let Mesar play in MTL.

Auto correct FTW.... I guess.

He has no chance of making the team.

Just needs to prepare for a good AHL season at this point.

Try and change the narrative of his underwhelming performances since he's been drafted.

there are no more space available where Colorado is but it was agreed that Alaska would be the new destination for NJ...ALL of it

exactly.....he needs to be ready physically, that's his main objectives, he is built on a "rack a chips" frame

let me know if you ever need a collab, I could always write a little something and throw a random thought or two

Hey, it's not like I'm the exclusive blogger or anything.... if you want to contribute and write something, you're more than welcome/free to do so.

So Askarov asked for a trade, won't report to camp.

This is not surprising.

He will report to camp, but not the AHL is what I read, but regardless, looks like the Preds need to move him.

last I heard I think he was more or less blaming his teammates for not being able to produce more, which isn't the greatest thing to do attitude-wise lol.

Must read.

Especially who he thinks the Habs will raft at #4.

Yeah, some of these reports I take with grain of salt, especially if there are language translation and it comes from Europe 2nd/3rd hand stuff.

Let's see what he does this season.

noice, good to hear

there isn't a ton to write about currently but I prefer asking you before since you're the one who initially manifested his intentions and got us out of the blog drought lol...

so like I'm saying if you're ever too busy with other stuff I can always fill in, that way we won't ever have to wait another 10,000 comments for new content lol

You are correct
