But the issue is that it takes the agreement of the player.

And so, you know, Kent Hughes would have had to sit down with Montemayor and say, you know, we want you to get your game back.

We think the best way of doing that is playing a couple of games

And Laval and and the Canadians, the way they did this, and I guess, like I said, I've been saying this for a long time, but I guess they delayed it to the point where there's two games in Cleveland.

The Monsters are not a very good team.

They're in the bottom 10 teams of the AHL.

They're away games.

The Cleveland Monsters play in the Rocket Arena, which is... It's an NBA arena, yeah.

Yeah, but it's called the Laval Rocks.

Yeah, yeah.

But it's a big arena that certainly isn't filled and isn't as boisterous as Laval would be.

So there's basically no pressure on Sam Montembeau.

If he got the two starts Thursday and Saturday, we know he started on Thursday.

We expect him to start Saturday afternoon.

Easy games for him, or they should be.

They should be.

Yeah.

Because he hasn't played for a while.

He hasn't played.

His last start in Montreal was on December 2nd.
