Canadiens prospect Charles Hudon will miss the World Junior Hockey Championship in Ufa, Russia, because of a back injury suffered during a practice in Helsinki.
Hockey Canada announced that Hudon, who plays for the Chicoutimi Saguenéens, will be replaced by forward Mark McNeill of the WHL’s Prince Albert Raiders.
Hudon, who was selected by the Canadiens in the fifth round of this year’s NHL draft, will return to Canada on Sunday for treatment. McNeil will join the team Saturday.
The tournament begins on Boxing Day. To see the complete schedule, click here.

I find it’s the reader’s comments section in “It’s Your Call” that is the real interesting part of this article.
http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=412078
There is one who says “void contracts = Crosby to the Leafs!”. Man, Laugh fans are really delusional.
Crosby to the Habs!!!!!
What an endless clusterfudge this has turned out to be. Nothing more off putting than two wrongs trying to make a right.
***Subbang Baby!!!***
It’s gotten down to leverage. Or, more simply, two guys on a teeter-totter.
Dave – I’m starting to wonder if three NHL lockouts equals three terms of the Bush family as president.
I care but I don’t care. I also don’t care that I don’t care so why should I even care?
BTW, I miss Mike Boone.

What happened Hobie? Did you get modded too much?
Had to change your signature…. I guess that means you’ll have to change your ways.
I’ve never had a comment removed to tell you the truth, believe it or not! Me, change…NEVER!!!!!!!!
Hobes is short for Hobie
LOL. I gathered that!
I was just wondering why the change.
I was either going to switch the name or die my hair blue…
Wendel always got at least two good ones in before the other guy knew he was in a fight. Quickest starter I’ve ever seen. Probert was the best finisher i’ve ever seen.
So the Mayans were actually predicting the end of the tournament for Hudon. In the future, it would help if they were a little more detailed, would have saved alot people some grief.
Okay, now that I have beaten that story/bad joke to death. On to serious things.
Heading out west to the city with the friendliest and warmest people on earth, the Peg! I hopefully will work on my HI/O addiction and avoid this site while away, and hope to buy a pint for Mr. Biter at some tavern I haven’t frequented in years…..
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays to everyone. Lets hope the two peons can finally figure out that hockey being played is in everyones best interest.
Be safe everyone, and enjoy your families!
CHeers!
Happy holidays B!
Happy Holidays, Burly
Great times await.
These predictions are as vague as they come, but anyway…
Happy Holidays to you and everyone on HIO!
Happy holidays
I feel really bad for Hudon…I thought this tournament was his opportunity to really make a name for himself and move up the Habs prospect list.
Heal quickly kid and get back to work in the Q…we’ll see you at next years main camp…well maybe…if there is no resolution to the lock-out we nmay have to wait to see you.
6:11 am came and went. Uneventful!
But keeping in the spirit of no hockey, and armageddon…. I offer you…
Hockey Frustration Song no. 27
Cue the music!
That’s great, it starts with a lock-out, without skates, no charter plane
And Buttman-Fehr are not afraid
Center of arrogance, listen to yourselves churn
League serves its own needs, players serve your own needs.
Un-follow the fans’ tweets, schmuck!
No power from the latter, letting us down, fight all night.
Bettman’s up for hire, he has cancelled all the games
With a league that’s now in dire and his combat site.
Take what’s left, it’s crumbling in a hurry with our furies breathing down your neck.
Team by team reporters baffled, stumped, tethered crop.
Look at that low playing! Fine then.
Uh oh, overload, population, common fans, and it won’t do.
Screw the league, serve yourself.
League serves its own needs, listen to the hearts bleed.
Dummy now has captured and the reverent to his right – right.
Feel vitriolic, patriotic, slam, fight, bright light,
Got us pretty psyched.
It’s the end of the world as we know it.
It’s the end of the world as we know it.
It’s the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine.
Eight o’clock – hockey hour.
All gone playing in foreign towers.
Crash and burn, return, listen to the fans churn.
Players in uniforming, moods burning, blood wanting.
Every motive escalate. hierarchy incinerate.
Light the rabble, give ‘em motive.
Step down, step down.
Watch the league crush, crush. Uh oh,
This means no fear – cavalier.
The commish, steer clear!
As we lament, they won’t repent, a tournament of lies.
Offer us solutions, offer us alternatives
And we’ll decline.
It’s the end of the world as we know it.
It’s the end of the world as we know it.
It’s the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine.
The other night I dreamt more strife, won’t say from whence they hide.
Shoulder pads in a line
Start from Phil Stein.
Onto Yakushev, Yserma. What hockey truth?
Tailgate party, fresh ice, hockey team, boom!
Both symbiotic, more rhetoric, Max’s broke neck, fright?
Right.
It’s the end of the game as we know it.
It’s the end of the game as we know it.
It’s the end of the game as we know it and I feel fine… fine…
Where’s that Earth shattering Ka-Boom?
Bravo, Bri!
That should keep HH happy eh? What do you think?
He’ll be smiling into his egg nogg!
The results are in. The NHLPA has voted to give the union the authority to file a disclaimer of interest by Jan. 2nd. Shocking…
Anyone want to make some ‘LINE COMBINATIONS’ with me today? yea yea, been forever…..
Anyone? Hello…
No?
I’ll show myself out.
“I think I may have found a way for us to get Griffey and Bonds, and we really won’t have to give up much” -Costanza
How about the Blue Jays lineup?
Reyes
Cabrera
Bautista
Encarnacion
Lawrie
Rasmus
Lind
Arencibia
Izturis
Hey Hobes. Jay’s looking good no doubt…on paper….only weakness that may be there is Lind and JPA and that’s why you’ve got them in the bottom third. Bonifacio’s no slouch either.If Lind and JPA were to come around then the sky is the limit. How about posting the starting pitching rotation and BP just for laughs
“I figure Bergevin has 3 or 4 moves left to bring the Habs that extra step closer to perhaps being the best in the league.” – Einstein
Hmmm, Drouin seems to have replaced Hudon in the top six, now Hudon’s back injury suddenly gets worse and he is replaced by a player more suited to a bottom six role. Not sure luck has anything to do with this.
A little poll/debate.
Regifting.
How do you feel about it? (it sucks)
Do you practice it? (you betcha)
What is the most obviously regifted present you have ever received (I once received a book with a handwritten and very personal note on the front page addressed to the person who gave me the book.)
–
Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better.
Gifts, no matter how inappropriate, must be received with grace. This is what the box filled with disparate things is in your closet is for.
I never re-gift, but I have finagled my way without exchanging many gifts. Keeps life simpler and no one gets sh-t presents.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is really a shame. And it worries me for the future. Habs seem to still have a knack for drafting injury-prone players
I watched him a couple times. He is really smart and goes where you need to go. A lot of bigger players get there late, he doesn’t. But he is way small, I’d say slight. The heart is there though.
I don’t think this team is going anywhere anyhow. There will be more injuries and when you get hurt during a game it can turn out worse cause you are sure you can go. Better in practice.

All 75 listeners are devastated!
End of the world, indeed
Re: seth jones, previous thread…
1) hard to believe that people are upset with him for his comments. Hockey players are boring enough as it is – at least this kid spoke his mind (once). Wait until the NHL brainwashers get ahold of him and teach him how to say the same 4 things over and over again.
2) cocky? Maybe, but who cares? Ask the Russians, Finns, swedes who the cockiest team is. They’ll say “Canada,” dollars to donuts.
3) extra motivation for other teams? These guys already want to win at all costs. Nothing anyone says is is going to change how hard they play. That whole “bulletin board material”, I just dont buy it.
Agreed, nothing wrong with his comments. Not offensive to anyone at all. He was only talking about HIS OWN TEAM thinking “we have the best team”. There is nothing wrong with that.
I must have really hit a sore spot with everyone
1) I have no problem with Tim Thomas posting his political views on Facebook. Seth Jones can say what he wants about his team, but all I was saying is I want him to eat his own words and see Team USA lose the bronze medal game. What I find hard to believe is the reaction my ‘eat crow’ comments have received.
2) Cocky people annoy me, but I’d say Russia was pretty cocky when the guy was doing the gun fingers to team Canada when the game was over last year.
3) Extra motivation… probably not but something else to fuel the teams. One thing they can bring up when they’ve beat USA.
Noooooo, that reeeeally sucks
I don’t have time to go through all the comments so please forgive me if these two stories from the New York Times have been linked elsewhere.

I say Bruins had something to do with it.
I like the guy but he’s been injured quite a bit and he doesn’t even play against men. He better get his stuff together or else it would be a waste of talent.
Hudon seems to get injured a lot. I hope this is not going to be a recurring theme for him.
–Go Habs Go!–
So this is the end of the world as we know it, huh?
It looks an awful lot like home….
I knew we were in hell-on-earth. It’s Bettman’s fault.
This kid has shown a lot of determination and grit. This will be just another hurdle on his way to becoming a Hab.

Can team Canada call up Gomez?
Btw, does anyone know Gomer’s scoring stats in whatever league he is playing now?
hockeydb.com knows.

4 goals, 6 assists in 10 games, but that could be outdated info.
And Scotty being ‘Murican cannot play for Canada.
There is nothing that Scotty cannot do.
He’s great at not doing much…
I’m absolutely gutted for Hudon, who worked his butt off to make this team and was playing great in Summer Camp, Super Series, the Tryout Camp and even yesterday.
This really sucks for a guy who looked poised for a great tourney.

I agree Ben. Of all the prospects, I find he’s showing more up side than most. Only because no one expected him to play so good so early.
That Sucks!
