Laval Rocket: Syracuse Crunch at Laval Rocket 7:00 pm - Watch on RDS/AHL TV

[Schooner Guy]

Yeah he has his positives in the offensive zone. But everywhere else, the play just goes by him with poor reads.

They aren't losing this game because of Barron. They have no offense. They only play hard for small stretches. The team is getting outplayed and it's only close because of the goalie.

It's one thing if they were creating chances.. they're lifeless. They went 26 minutes without a shot and it's not the only time.

He's just not a good coach and he can't be back.

His best before date has long passed on this team. They had a good run a couple of years ago. They need a new voice. Shame on the players for a piss poor effort in an almost must-win game.

Tampa trade away all of their picks yet somehow construct a farm team better than that of a rebuilding franchise.

 

[salbutera]

I've spotted Farrell ! He's not hurt.

Just useless.

He’s tiny & plays small

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Needless to say, huge powerplay coming up.

 

[Rapala]

This is f***ing embarrassing. We have a ton of work to do as an organization to bring this shit up to snuff.
That a top team in the league is able to put together a far more talented bigger stronger faster farm than ours after being at the opposite end of the standings for about eight years now. FME

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Game you shouldn't be in.

Pp

So a coach creates offensive chances?

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

In the past minute Barron has tried to hit two people and he fell both times.

 

[David Suzuki]

Why did Mailloux change and why did he take so long to pull the goalie lol

 

[montreal]

The only thing holding Kidney is his size

his skating/speed and lack of strength are also impacting him at this level.

 

[le_sean]

Is the entirety of Mailloux’s offensive prowess a heavy wrist shot from the point? Try something different.

 

[schwang26]

Great job boys. So much for playoffs

 

[WeThreeKings]

Maillet is so f***ing useless, Go back to the KHL. Most minutes and opportunities and can't even stickhandle.

 

[Goldenhands]

Not sure if it was a comedy or an horror movie, probably the worst group of fowards in the AHL.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Maillet can for sure not be re-signed.

Farrell can be dealt.

Anderson can go, too honestly.

Barron, f***ing see ya

Norlinder, bye.

Heineman can go.

Actually it would be easy to post who can stay there's so many meh players who bring nothing

 

[PhysicX]

That was a pretty boring game. Organization lacks a shitload of talent up front.

 

[teamfirst]

Agree, didn't want to elaborate to much answering a guy who suggested Houle was holding him

Who cares? It shouldn't be that difficult to assmble ateam of AHL lifers to do well in the AHL. Lightning have no prospects though.
Of course a lot of Laval's vets are useless.

Bourque being the captain is a headscratcher. Leads by grinding?

 

[Rapala]

I swear to God I would use William Trudeau on PP2 along with Barron long before I ever looked Perreault's way.
NO imagination at all at either level when it comes to the Power Play.
Is there some unwritten rule you can't use two defencemen when they are probably your best option?

 

[montreal]

Barron Goal - 3:39
Dobes Save - 13:36

 

[HuGo Sham]

he's terrible. Montreal is missing the same pieces laval is missing.
Too many smallish, soft forwards. Kidney, Farrell, perreault etc...don't look like useful pieces going forward. None of these guys can initiate any kind of forecheck or break down defences.
Heinemann has been MIA. This needs to be the draft of forwards.
Thought Mailloux played well. Mean streak, some offensive skill etc

Full of Francophones to boot.

Having watched Tampa play us last evening and Syracuse play us today.
I could easily see plug and play options for them with the style of game they like to play.
That is exactly what you want out of your farm.
They currently don't have any real high end talent on the farm.
They do however have a number of very good skating strong players who can execute.
