Post-Game Talk: {AHL} Belleville Senators vs. Laval Rocket (Laval Blows a 3-Goal Lead. Lose 5-4 in OT)

[Adam Michaels]

Fleury: You shall not pass!

 

[Andrei79]

Belleville's best players are all between 19 and 22.

That's how its done.

That said, man does it help an AHL team to get a top 6 center. Makes the whole team better.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Olofsson set Kotkaniemi up beautifully. But he missed the net.

Kotkaniemi is getting in a groove. Having fun

 

[Redux91]

This is going to do f***ing wonders for Kotkaniemi

top line center 20 mins a game, this will get that confidence up

Yeah. This is clearly a level he can play at. He's not NHL ready. He can work on other things too: keeping the pace up, moving his feet, positioning himself better when he forechecks and being more creative offensively.

I really, really hope they keep him down there until the end of the season.

 

[De Montreal]

How fun would it be to watch Fleury, Brook, Evans, Primeau, Poehling and KK go for a playoff run?

It is a needed jolt for this franchise

These game day threads would definitely grow

Add Caulfield.

 

[Adam Michaels]

I really, really hope they keep him down there until the end of the season.

I don't know if their plan is for the rest of the season. But Renaud Lavoie tweeted earlier that from what he hears, Kotkaniemi is staying down for an indeterminate amount of time. It shouldn't be for a cup of coffee. If he stays the rest of the season, I will be all for that.

 

[Andrei79]

Add Caufield and Suzuki potentially. The team could go on a run.

I'll add Brook looks much better lately.

 

[DAChampion]

Yeah. This is clearly a level he can play at. He's not NHL ready. He can work on other things too: keeping the pace up, moving his feet, positioning himself better when he forechecks and being more creative offensively.

I really, really hope they keep him down there until the end of the season.

I hope that Kotkaniemi stays down through the end of this season, a deep playoff run, and well into next season.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Belleville gets another one. 4-2 Laval.

 

[Tyson]

Damn it now the next 5 minutes will be a good test

 

[Andrei79]

Laval's winning, but Belleville's top 6 all play like NHLers.

 

[Tyson]

Laval crumbling 4-3

 

[Adam Michaels]

Belleville makes it 4-3.

Carcone scores while on is ass and the puck slid to his stick and it went into the net.

 

[Tyson]

A PP for Belleville...cant make this up

 

[Adam Michaels]

Varone with some lack of discipline after the Belleville goal. So he's off to the box.

Belleville on the PP after scoring to make it 4-3.

 

[Whitesnake]

Wow....guy scored while laying down....

 

[Gravity]

Laval blowing a lead just like the parent club.

 

[Adam Michaels]

What in the world did Cox miss there?

That better not come bite Laval in the ass.

In fact, Belleville came back and hit the post.

 

[MarkJ]

Fleury there...

 

[Adam Michaels]

Nice save by Kinkaid.

 

[Gravity]

Cox is bloody terrible for missing that.
