Post-Game Talk: {AHL} Lehigh Valley Phantoms (3 - 2 [OT]). Laval Rocket

[Adam Michaels]

Really good third period by Laval so far. Doing a good job not giving Lehigh Valley much.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Very nice move by Jevpalovs and an even nicer save by Carter Hart.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Really bad timing to get called for a penalty by Vejdemo. 2 and a half minutes left in the game and Lehigh Valley gets a PP. Wouldn't be surprised if they pull Hart at some point to make it 6-on-4.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Hart heads to the bench. Empty net and the Rocket can clear.

 

[Adam Michaels]

And Lehigh Valley ties it with 55 seconds left in the game. Really good snipe by Varone.

 

[Runner77]

Lots of traffic in front of Lindgren as LHV ties it with 55 seconds left.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Blatant missed call by the refs. Froese had his stick held for a few seconds behind the Phantoms' net in front of the ref. But no call.

OT coming up.

 

[Runner77]

Earlier as the LHV was on a 6 on 4, with a faceoff inside Laval's zone, Bouchard called on McCarron to take the faceoff. McCarron is earning some added responsibilities.

 

[montreal]

heck of a game as LV is the top scoring team in the AHL and Laval had done a great job keeping them off the scoreboard.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Vejdemo, Evans, and Mete start OT.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Good job by Evans to come to Lindgren's defense.

 

[Runner77]

Blatant missed call by the refs. Froese had his stick held for a few seconds behind the Phantoms' net in front of the ref. But no call.

OT coming up.

Froese hit someone along the boards, who didn't have the puck -- was that the guy who held his stick behind the net?

What is this -- an LHV player gave Lindgren a pretty aggressive shove. How did Lindgren's teammates not all jump the guy? Jeez.

Last game too against Belleville, they did a real good job tightening it up to hold onto the 2-1 win.

 

[Runner77]

Phantoms score and win it, 3-2.

 

[Adam Michaels]

And there we go, Laval loses in OT.

 

[Whitesnake]

You know you are weak on D when Maxim Lamarche leads the way....

 

[Runner77]

Nicolas Aubé-Kubel de Sorel envoie le Rocket aux poubelles.

 

[Vachon23]

Why McCarron was on the ice on 3 vs 3 ?? He's probably on of the slowest player in the league !

 

[Runner77]

The Rocket with 24 consecutive PPs without a goal.

Who do they think they are -- the Habs?

 

[LyricalLyricist]

So just do I understand they sent mete down to work his offensive game and get confidence but the team he went to has an abysmal PP?

He can help, no?

 

[mariolemieux66]

For those that watched the game, how was Philippe Myers?

 

[yianik]

Some more from Bouchard on Mete: he says that we shouldn't forget that he was a 4th round pick. He beat the odds in making the NHL last season at 19. But being in the AHL at 20 is nothing dramatic.

Everybody wanted Bouchard. He may be a great coach in many respects, but he has a big mouth a la Therrien and he should shut the hell up. And this isnt the first time, I am disliking this guy.

Woah What did he say that was so wrong

Woah What did he say that was so wrong

I have a hair trigger on this.

Fans were trashing Patrice Brisbois and Gainey told them to stay home. Price has had a real past couple of years and everybody has been pretty protective of him. That's what I like.

All those in an organization need to have each others back. I am not saying general statements about the team needing to play better or if asked by media about a specific player saying he needs to work on a thing or two are out of order.

I remember AK46 having a great start to the year and when asked about it, Jacques Martin spat out " contract year".

I think Julien is not so bad, but we have had coaches like JM and MT , and our current GM who have been just brutal on certain players. I see this as being divisive and does not help build the togetherness of a team.

So when the team had a horrible 2017-2018 did players say that it was because the GM messed up by not signing Markov and Rads ?

After a loss do players say it was because the team was outcoached as MT was unable to keep up with the other teams in game adjustments ?

No to both.

I dont think players should be trashed. You want to trade them? Trade them. Dont talk down their value, it's stupid.

Anyway, my two cents.
