Post-Game Talk: {AHL} Laval Loses 5-4 in OT: Laval's 6-Game Win Streak Comes to an End

[Intangir]

2-0 Laval after the first, we've been much better than Belleville after a bit of a slow start and we're dominating puck possession to a lopsided degree.

Vejdemo has again been pretty good (really surprises me this season with his level of play and dedication, a great progression from last season), I like Leskinen's game as always and pretty much everyone's been good. Primeau looks extremely poised and confident in nets again and if we score another one in the second we'll be in very good position to win the game with the way he's been playing in the AHL this season.

This is by far and wide from top to bottom the best roster I've seen us ice in the AHL ever since the first lockout in '04-'05. Even the year we won the Calder Cup with Price in goal for the playoffs our depth wasn't as good.

That said, Bouchard is making adjustments on the fly and talking to players, making them progress seemingly from game-to-game in a way that Lefevbre never managed in all his time with our AHL affiliate. Bouchard's not amongst the elite of the AHL as far as coaches go, but if he continues to show results with our young players he might get there from reputation in a couple of years.

They had 50$ mystery boxes for sale tonight. Got two.

T-shirt + cap for my dad Christmas gift.
Hudon signed jersey for me.

I'm not game

 

[CheldishGamibno]

I still think Hudon is a NHL player. If he could use his wrist shot more in the big league.

 

[ahmedou]

C'mon don't let it down...

 

[Adam Michaels]

Belleville just ties the game in a minute and 10 seconds into the second period.

 

[Treb]

I'm not game

There's at least 50$ worth in every bag.

Hopefully Bouchard talks to McCarron about that stupid penalty, but he was playing well before that with the big hit and he almost scored on the PP.

Peca's looked good out there, as has Vejdemo and I didn't think Lynch had the hands for that kind of goal. Nice goal from Hudon again, really need to get him scoring in bunches.

In regards to Bouchard, he's night and day to the previous coach, since all you have to do is look at the bulk of the players that played for him last year, almost all of them have improved while in the past it was the opposite. A good sign for the future, now if we could just stop rushing them to the NHL.

 

[montreal]

a rare face-off loss for Evans and an even rarer PP goal against.

 

[Schwang]

Probably be the dumbest penalty I've seen this year.

He has no talent.

 

[montreal]

McCarron almost had one on the PP again, he needs to bury one.

Bouchard >> Sly but Bouchard has actual talent to work with

 

[Habs Halifax]

Poehling playing in this game?

 

[montreal]

how did Barber not score there, what a play that would have been

 

[Habs Halifax]

Missed practically the entire first period due to helping my girl with her homework. It was good to see Laval up 2-0 when I opened the TV.

16-5 shots for Laval. Must have been complete domination.

No better person I know to help your kid with “Rocket” technology!

funny?

Bouchard >> Sly but Bouchard has actual talent to work with

Sly wouldn't know actual talent if he stumbled on it.

 

[Schwang]

Poehling playing in this game?

He’s been slightly more noticeable than Pacioretty. Not by much though

 

[Habs Halifax]

Sly wouldn't know actual talent if he stumbled on it.

That’s true! I guess he helped out with Pateryn? Lol

 

[Schwang]

Mccarron is embarrassing out there. A slow skating clod. He’ll be echl bound soon.

 

[Habs Halifax]

He’s been slightly more noticeable than Pacioretty. Not by much though

Pacioretty? I’m confused

 

[WeThreeKings]

Sly wouldn't know actual talent if he stumbled on it.

He had plenty of talent when he was a coach. He just sucked in all facets of being a coach and adding dumbfounded Carrier's son to the AHL coaching staff when he was a lousy div 3 coach in the NCAA compounded the stupidity.

It was 7 years of Horrible bosses when the guys son took over the business.

 

[Schwang]

Pacioretty?

I meant how he was when we had him. Pretty invisible? It’s a joke

 

[Habs Halifax]

I meant how he was when we had him. Pretty invisible? It’s a joke

I’m slow tonight

 

[Adam Michaels]

Not McCarron's best outing tonight.

 

[Adam Michaels]

No better person I know to help your kid with “Rocket” technology!

funny?

She didn't get her desert until she didn't tell me which player wears what number.

 

[Schwang]

Vejdemo deserves to get called up
