Saw that Barber was at practice today so I assume he plays tomorrow night. They can't afford to lose him with so many of their top scorers out and he's been heating up and has been one of their better players of late. Nothing on Belzile so he isn't expected to play this weekend but I wonder about next week now.

Good news that Barber was at practice today. Initially, I thought it was his shoulder, from the way he was holding himself slowly skating to the bench. However, Marcotte said that he got caught with skate in the face.

As for Belzile, Bouchard had confirmed earlier this week that Belzile wouldn't play this week. But I agree with you, I hope he'll be back next week.

Whos is taking the key draws for Laval? How are they overall on FO's?

 

[Adam Michaels]

Adirondack just beat Brampton 4-3 in OT. Verbeek with 2 goals and 1 assist. One of his goals were the OT winner.

 

[Michel Beauchamp]

I wish Habs just stack their AHL team with their top prospects

They don't ??? Are you serious ?

 

[Adam Michaels]

Kinkaid clears and will report to Laval.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Good news, Belzile and Ouellet say they should be good to play tomorrow. Also good news, McEneny, who they signed to a PTO should also make his debut.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Alex Burrows going into the Canucks' Ring of Honor tonight. Congrats to the guy! Great example for the players in Laval to look up to. The guy was in the ECHL and ready to give it up before he moved his way up and playing in a Stanley Cup Game 7 on a line with two of the best players of their era.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Bouchard confirms that Belzile will return to the line-up tomorrow night after two weeks on the sidelines. He says that Belzile respected the concussion protocol.



Juulsen hasn't been shut down yet, but Bouchard confirms that he won't play this week. He says that he's been dealing with migraines and that they don't want him playing with headaches.



Lindgren will get the start tomorrow against Cleveland. Bouchard hasn't spoken to Kinkaid yet and at the moment, he wants to give him some time to digest this.

Happy for the kid. I feel like he's adjusted rather well to the North American style of hockey. It also shows that, despite being young, he has played in a league against men. And Liiga is one of the top leagues in the world.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Adirondack won 3-2 earlier today against Toledo. Verbeek with an assist.

He now has 19 pts (5G, 14A) in 21 GP. He is Adirondack's top scorer.

Sklenicka sent down to Maine of the ECHL. I was wondering why they didn't do it earlier when all of their defensemen were healthy.

Is he the worst they have in Laval? Thought he would be the next to audition,not looking like it though.

Is he the worst they have in Laval? Thought he would be the next to audition,not looking like it though.

Last year, he adjusted to the North American style of play a lot quicker than his compatriot Moravcik, who ended up having his contract terminated.

This year, there was stiffer competition to crack the D in Laval, with Leskinen, Lamarche, Olofsson, Ouellet and Alzner there from the start, Brook. So Sklenicka hasn't been able to beat out any of these guys.

He got some games in early, but then Juulsen came back, they sent Folin down recently. They just signed McEneny to a PTO and he's ready to play possibly next week.

So Sklenicka was mostly the odd man out, getting a game here and there if there was an injury. I thought they would have sent him down a lot sooner though. Especially when Laval was running a healthy D group.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Was having a good season so far in the ECHL. He was Adirondack's top scorer.

Have seen some of Lamarche,hard to believe he is not ahead of him.Only have seen Lamarche cough up the puck.

When did they sign Mc Eneny? Looks like an interesting player,good size and stats,but injured often?

He has shown some nice flashes, but not consistently,again though,not a large player,has good wheels though.

Lamarche is a vet though, so he get more leash. Lamarche also doesn't play every game and is a rhd vs Sklenicka lhd.

McEneny was signed to a pto around 2 weeks ago. He was recovering from a knee injury. Also missed a bunch of games in 2017-2018. Nice gamble like Lynch that went unsigned due to long term injuries.

[Pompeius Magnus]

He's so fast and hard working, if he could somehow figure out the rest of the game he could be a Byron type at some point in the future. He has to be a regular at the AHL level first obviously.
