Michael Hage’s injury: the CH curse now strikes prospects

The Montreal Canadiens may not be in the mix right now, but one thing’s for sure: the infirmary is very busy.
At the start of the season, we learned that Patrik Laine, Rafaël Harvey-Pinard and David Reinbacher would miss several months.
And during the course of the season, key players such as Juraj Slafkovsky and Kaiden Guhle went down, and that’s all it took for the curse to return.
Unfortunately, the players playing with the big club weren’t enough for the infirmary, as NCAA prospect Michael Hage was also injured…
According to his coach at the University of Michigan, Hage received several heavy body checks on Friday, preventing him from playing on Saturday.
@umichhockey coach Brandon Naurato says Michael Hage’s absence tonight was related to something “medical”. Hage took several big hits in Friday’s win.

On Friday and Saturday, the University of Michigan Wolverines took on the Boston University Terriers, winning both games.
No fewer than 10 goals in total were scored by the Wolverines in these two games.
Hage also picked up an assist on Friday.

An Internet user made an interesting comment about Friday’s game.
From the moment it was 3-1 for Michael Hage’s team, the opponents began to show no mercy for the Habs’ prospects.
The Internet user in question saw a check to the head and knee-to-knee contact involving the young right-handed center.

Anything to help the Habs’ medical situation, which has been ripping them off for far too long.
On the other hand, the Habs can take solace in the Colorado Avalanche situation.
The team had to deal with the absences of Valeri Nichushkin (suspension), Gabriel Landeskog, Jonathan Drouin, Artturi Lehkonen, Devon Toews and guys like Ross Colton (8 goals in 10 games) and Miles Wood, a very good support player.
Even the Islanders are doing more or less well, having recently confirmed that Alexander Romanov won’t be playing tonight (Sunday).
He joins a fine list of injured players including two other defensemen (Adam Pelech and Mike Reilly) and forwards Mathew Barzal and Anthony Duclair.
There are definitely worse injuries elsewhere in the NHL, but quality prospects like Hage and Reinbacher getting injured hurts…

Habs fell to the Pens but this Call Of The Wilde for @Global_Montreal is about the rebuild.
Understand rebuild history. Understand the non-linear line it takes. Understand perfect losses without frustration is impossible.

– Finally, some good news for the Avalanche.
The Avs have activated Artturi Lehkonen from IR.
A good sign for Tuesday.
