I guess Primeau will get the Monday afternoon start but I'm going to be pissed if Primeau doesn't end up getting the bulk of the starts unless Lindgren plays really well or Primeau struggles.

Lindgren had a solid game on the first game last Friday.

Lindgren had a solid game on the first game last Friday.

I changed it to if Lindgren plays really well.

Primeau was much better in his game, Lindgren doesn't mean anything to our future, Primeau could very easily be a massive part of our future so they need to get this right as it's extremely important.

I agree. Primeau also looked good, despite the score. That score was more indicative of Laval as a whole than it is of the goalie. For what it's worth, I agree with you on the goaltending deployment. But I think the directive this year is to win. So if Bouchard feels like Lindgren is the guy, he will get more starts. I don't think Primeau will be left warming the bench for long. The Rocket are about to start a series of 5 games in 8 nights. Both goalies will be used for sure.

I like the Top-6. In fact, I like all of the forward lines. I like the pairings, as well. Although I'm not sure how Olofsson will look since it's his first game in a year. Brook with Alzner is a good idea. If the Alzner-Fleury pairing from last year is any indication, Brook is paired with a good mentor.

No mercy on scoring chances. It pays off. On ice, that’s how you respect yourself, your team and the fans.

 

[Tyson]

I hope the vets turn it up a notch

 

[Gravity]

Wonder where down the middle Suzuki fits when he comes to Laval?

A reminder for some who may not be aware, Jarred Tinordi plays for Milwaukee and is their captain.

Peca looking to drop the gloves against an Admirals player for his hit on Jevpalovs. The Milwaukee player refused to drop them. It was a clean but real solid hit.

 

[Tyson]

Laval falls behind early

 

[Adam Michaels]

Missed the goal. But Milwaukee went up 1-0.

 

[montreal]

glad to see Bouchard switch up the lines, moving Barber and Varone with Poehling, I wanted to see that and Hudon Evans Belzile since that should be the top line imo. Weise to the 4th line shows you he made a mistake putting him with Poehling but glad to see him fix it so quickly. Like Alzner with Brook as well.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Lamarche with a great feed to send Lynch with a half-breakaway. Laval gets a PP out of the play.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Laval will get about 30 seconds on a 5-on-3.

 

[Adam Michaels]

No goals on the PP. Laval moved the puck around real well. But Barber and Varone were each set up nicely with shots, but both of them whiffed on their shot.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Lindgren looking real sharp so far.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Laval getting another PP.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Weise cancels the PP with an offensive zone penalty.

 

[Adam Michaels]

GOAL!!! Brook with his first career goal!

Big time credit to Alain for the hustle to get the puck from behind the net.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Laval is playing better tonight. But Lindgren had to come up with some big saves to keep it 1-0.

 

[ahmedou]

Be compact...

Looking at the roster, this team should easily make the playoffs.
