Worrying breaking news for Hughes and the Montreal Canadiens: it's about Sean Monahan again
Around 10:30 this morning, the Montreal Canadiens players jumped on the ice for their full practice of the day, but there were several absentees:
Among the absentees, there was indeed Kirby Dach and Christian Dvorak, but it's not too worrying in their case.
However, it is worrying for another notable absentee of the day.
Concerning news for Kent Hughes
It concerns Monahan:
"Once again, no Sean Monahan at Canadiens practice. He returned to non-contact practice two Saturdays ago. We haven't seen him on the ice since." - Eric Engels
"Sean Monahan is still not at CH practice today. It's starting to smell bad for the trade deadline, unfortunately!" - Marc-Olivier Beaudoin
"Sean Monahan is not on the ice for the Canadiens' practice. Again." - Arpon Basu
"Sean Monahan is still not at CH practice today. It's starting to smell bad for the trade deadline, unfortunately!" - Marc-Olivier Beaudoin
"Sean Monahan is not on the ice for the Canadiens' practice. Again." - Arpon Basu
Monahan's sudden absence is indeed starting to become concerning. He seemed to be on his way back to the game, practicing with his teammates, but there was obviously a sudden problem.
Let's really hope it's not too serious.
First, because he's solid for the Montreal Canadiens and brings a lot to the ice, second, for the sake of his long-term physical health, and third, because it's obvious he won't bring a 2023 first round pick back to the Habs if he's injured (at the trade deadline).
A case to watch.
We still have no official word from the CH on this, but it should come.
