Makes no sense at all. Send him down so he plays, not sit, dummies.

We've almost the full roster. So atm we can't serve that as a pretext.

Bouchard was alternating between Primeau and Lindgren all season. This game, Lindgren was going to play it no matter what.

As for Kinkaid, he just got there and in a bit of a shock. So it's not a dumb idea to give him some time to digest this. They're playing in Syracuse on Friday and in Springfield on Saturday. So he will play.

We are maybe realizing just how good the AHL is

Posted the line-up in the OP.

Belzile on the right of McCarron and Barber, exactly where Peca was.

Ouellet paired with Lamarche. Olofsson paired with Folin.

Yeah, I heard the explanation on RDS. I guess they were wondering the same thing. I suppose I jumped the gun, again.

Color commentator Bruno Gervais: Tout un lancer du Québécois ... qui a surpris le gardien Letton.

Seriously, they can't refer to players by designations other than their nationalities?

Stéphane Leroux, waddya expect?

 

[Runner77]

Stéphane Leroux just now: Stéphane Matteau, le Québécois qui est utilisé en avantage numérique ...

 

[Adam Michaels]

Cleveland ties it with 3 seconds left in the penalty.

Nice deflection in front of the net.

 

[Runner77]

Stéphane Leroux, waddya expect?

The first one came from the color guy, Bruno Gervais.

Leroux just uttered the Matteau one, so you still have a point.

This is the first time ever I watch AHL hockey.

How good is the audience in Laval compared to the rest of the league?

Here is Alain's goal:

They're good. There are other teams that pack the place more. But Laval gathers good crowds. Weekday games always garner smaller crowds.

When I went it was pretty shitty, but the game and the players were god awful so it might have been the reason.

Laval heading back on the PP. The Rocket's hard forecheck draws a penalty.

When I went it was pretty ****ty, but the game and the players were god awful so it might have been the reason.

I've been once. But it was a packed house that game.

 

[Seb]

I've been once. But it was a packed house that game.

And how was the crowd? Were they involved? During the game I went it was so quiet...

 

[Adam Michaels]

Dirty hit on Belzile.

Laval heading on a 5-0n-3 PP for about 40 seconds.
