Post-Game Talk: {AHL} Laval Rocket 3 - 1 Rockford IceHogs: Solid Performance for the 1st Win of the Season

[Runner77]

A lot more engaged. Very good on the face-off dot. In fact, both of his assists came from winning the face-off with authority.

Hummmm ... maybe MB being there had something to do with that.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Poehling was named 3rd star and Leskinen 2nd. They gave the first star to Rockford's Philip Holm, who scored their lone goal.

Nice slapper by Hugh Dawn -- how come we weren't seeing this when he was at the NHL level?

His confidence getting a full-out rebuild, I'm guessing. Or is that a reset? There is no rebuilding in the Montreal org.

ive liked Leskinens game since training camp

good PMD, poised/makes good decisions, would like to see him play a few games for us this season.

 

[cphabs]

Our farm club was better when we were sharing with Dallas.

Not anymore... JuJu!

 

[BLONG7]

Wonder how much Molson likes paying 6.375M in salary to Alzner/Weise to play on Laval's 4th line and bottom pairing.

And paying MB on top of that!! Guess Mol$on gets what he deserves. Until he holds MB accountable, this type of crap will continue.

Glad the guys got their 1st win!

Barber and Varone are not doing anything so far ad they look like they belong in the ECHL. Such a disapointment.....

I watched the second period, and I was impressed by the speed of the game. The AHL went a long way since last time I watched.

Good effort, but saw a terrible blunder by Brook lol

Yea. Brook is capable of being so good but also making some bad choices. I'm guessing the one you're talking about was when he was behind his own net and tried to pass it to someone in front of the net but it was intercepted. It could have been a scoring chance of the IceHogs player got a clean shot (I believe it ended up being blocked). But as a result, Rockford had a sustained presence in the zone. Luckily for Brook, Primeau was able to finally freeze the puck.

He had a few of those kinds of bad decisions. But overall, he had a good game.

bargain bin was there. maybe they're thinking of sending down fleury ..if it's suzuki, i hope it's for another young guy like poehling or evans..not the old plugs

Hopefully it's Fleury. No point in him sitting.

Folin has done well when he gets into the lineup.

yeah, that one

To be honest at this point I would send down Suzuki because i feel he is struggling and some quality time would help. but i would call up Belzile or Hudon instead of Peel, just because it sends a message that if you work hard you get called

Belzile is the most deserving of a call up over Evans and Poehling right now. As much as it's nice to see the kids get called up, at this moment, Evans and Poehling still need significant playing time. Belzile would be my first call up.

I'm for Suzuki and Fleury being sent down. And I agree (as I posted a moment ago), the player I think deserves the call up more than anyone right now at forward, it's Belzile.

 

[Runner77]

What’s going on with both Habs and Rocket dressing rooms? They’re both going full out medieval for their player of the game accessorizing.

he's a pylon. would use him exclusively vs west. that's it

I don't see us calling up Belzile while Cousins hasn't even gottena game in yet... but I'm happy he's doing well!

 

[Estimated_Prophet]

MB is at the Laval game. Which explains why he wasn't at the team photo today. But it also explains the space between Julien and Byron, because he will surely be photoshopped in.

Price with perfect positioning......Kinkaid sporting the gaping 5 hole.

I just posted in the Habs/Blues post-game thread about the source of why Weber went with the sword. Apparently, he was inspired by his dad's love of Conan the Barbarian.

When I looked at Fleury, the first thing I thought of was this:

 

[Adam Michaels]

I don't see us calling up Belzile while Cousins hasn't even gottena game in yet... but I'm happy he's doing well!

If they send down Suzuki, the Habs would be at 12 forwards. I can see them call someone up to have 13 and make sure in case there are injuries, someone can be inserted in the line-up next game.

Marc found some deals at the local flea market. He can't pass up a deal , he said to himself "I can find a use for these spare parts!".

Still hasn't recovered from the Eichel wrister.

whoa I'm way out of the loop it seems, had no idea primeau quit college to turn pro this year. He's super young too, only turned 20 in August.

Guess I'm too used to most of our college prospects to finish their 4 years before coming over.
