very good, there's some rust but he looks better then I thought he would for being out that long and making his pro debut. Laval had a full 2 minute 5 on 3 PK to kill and Juulsen was out there on the first shift.
I don't know why they opted to send Fucale down for 2 games, and not just send McNiven back, or what their plan is once Fucale is back up this week. That said while I didn't watch last night's game yet, McNiven despite poor numbers has been pretty good other then a couple goals he needs to stop. Laval has been the worst team in the league in ga all year long.
Difference is likely Mcniven probably backed up while in laval this week and fucale probably started in brampton so hed be getting playing time instead of being on the bench im just guessing never looked at who started any games

yes McNiven was the backup and then started, Fucale got in 2 games. But why not just send McNiven back to the ECHL and give Fucale the start last night with Lindgren backing him up. It does make sense, get him 2 games vs 1 and who knows when he might play again. I'm just a bit surprised since they have done a poor job at times with just letting players sit for long periods when they could have just sent them to the ECHL.
Guess we'll see when Fucale is back tomorrow or later this week, if they send McNiven down or not. Although I wonder if they are looking at Fucale for the Spengler Cup again. Sean Burke who works for the Habs is still in charge and he did well last year.

Seems odd, I guess we all have that underdog we want to see succeed, don't get me wrong I want all the Habs prospects to succeed, but for some reason I have a soft spot for Fucale.
Habs need goals, even after a 10 goal game, and they send back a guy who can score. Sometimes I really don't get this organization.

Juulsen is adapting quickly to the AHL, at the defensive end at least.
Weber/Petry/Juulsen on the right side for the next 4 years sounds great.

I'm pretty confident in Juulsen. The kid plays an all round game, has good size, skating and hockey sense and makes an above average first pass. To me that's a ticket to a good NHL career. I hope he can continue developing and get to the show soon!

So it looks like Sylvain Lefebvre is doing again a great job down there

The team has been horrible the last 2 weeks....
I'm sure Holland asked for a trade but that was a terrible move for them. They no longer have any offensive threats outside of Taormina. Terry is a good sniper to put on a line with high level players, but he cant perform on his own.
ALL they do is try to set-up Terry for a one timer on the powerplay and its so predictable.
Lefevbre is doing what he can with what he has. They've lost a lot of players to the Canadiens. They should be getting McCarron and Sherbak back soonish. Gelinas keeps getting ice time for some reason while Bourque has played twice in a month. Doesn't look like development to me. Taormina plays the last 5 minutes of each game and is exhausted when it gets to OT (seems like it always gets into OT). Getting Juulsen back is nice, seems like a solid player.

Every AHL team deals with that issue of missing players. Jerabek, and 2 of Deslauriers/Carr/Sherbak are going to be in the NHL for the rest of the year. They must deal with this internally, like every other AHL team.

I don't think Sherbak will be in the NHL for the rest of the year at least I hope not. Sure he had a great start but my god I hope we learned the lessons of bringing guys up too early. McCarron and DLR are perfect examples. Sherbak is too important to jeopardize imo.
