This is a massive blow that I don't think anyone will be able to really grasp entirely until we see how sloppy things will be on our own zone. Looks like Komi and Markov are getting close to 30 min tonight

I agree with you that Komi and Markov are going to have to pick up the slack, as I can't see Carbo giving all of Hamrlik's minutes to Streit or Brisebois.

Me either! Gorges and Bouillon could play a minute or two more too though. Lets hope for many powerplays ;)

Cristobal Huet makes his 13th straight start (8-3-1 during that stretch). Roman Hamrlik got sent home and sick with the flu. He is out tonight. Carey Price returns to Montreal to backup Huet. He was 6-4 with a 2.69 GAA and .896 SVP in his Hamilton stint, but allowed one goal on 46 shots in two games last weekend. With Toronto on tap on Thursday, Guy Carbonneau says there's a possibility that Price will get the call (given his 3-0 record against the Leafs), adding they wouldn't have recalled him if he wasn't going to play. - TSNNo hamrlik tonight: Source

You want to see how important Hamrlik is to Montreal this year: Watch tonight's game.

God did we ever miss Roman's steady yet physical presence on the backend. Hope to see you back in the lineup soon, Hammer!

It makes you wonder if this team needs a fourth high quality defender. I guess there are some prospects, but they wont be playing this season.

Gorges has been superb in the last 2 weeks. he'll be a decent 4th d-man next season i expect :)

This is why I think that in the offseason, a priority should be to sign a legit top-four d-man who can anchor that second pairing in case Hamrlik gets injured. Of our existing corps, none has proven that he deserves to be there. Streit, Bouillon, Dandenault, and Gorges are all fine as third-pairing defensemen, but nothing more. Really a shame we couldn't land Danny Markov who would have been tremendous with Hamrlik.

Or imagine Reagehr with Hamrlik.Who would be good this out of this seasons UFA to sign to pair up with Hamrlik?

If he's not back for the game against Ottawa Montreal has no chanc. At least two of the three Toronto goals came because the fill in defencemen couldn't do what he does.If he's not back for the game against Ottawa Montreal has no chanc.

Get well soon, Mr. Hamrlik! :D

Toronto had pressure on our D all night long, and without Hamrlik there we were lacking some major size on the backend. Hopefully he returns Saturday for the ever-so important tilt with Ottawa!
