Post-Game Talk: {AHL} Laval Rocket 3 - 2 Providence Bruins: Poehling Settles the Score with the Game Winner

[Adam Michaels]

Brook has already improved a handful of games into his AHL season. And the Hudon-Poehling-Belzile line is real good tonight. I like Varone-Evans-Barber, as well.

 

[Tyson]

2-2

 

[Adam Michaels]

Providence sneaks it passed Primeau. Tie game.

 

[Tyson]

I like Brook

 

[Adam Michaels]

That was a dangerous knee-on-knee on Varone. He draws the penalty. Laval headed to the PP. Former Hab prospect Didier heading to the box.

Loved seeing Evans and the rest of them go after Varone's defense.

 

[Adam Michaels]

I like Brook

You can already see improvement in his game. And he's not afraid to go defend his teammates.

Providence sneaks it passed Primeau. Tie game.

Looked like goalie interference to me. May even have gone off a Providence blade. I only have one angle on the replay.

Does anyone else have a problem with picking out the jersey numbers on the back of the Rocket jersey's?

The red stripe goes through the middle of the numbers on the Laval jersey and on AHLTV it blends together.

Loved seeing Evans and the rest of them go after Varone's defense.

I don’t remember the team doing that when Lefebvre was coaching. Refreshing to read that they’re doing that now.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Real good period by Laval. Lagace made some real good saves to keep his team alive. Despite having tied the game, Laval was the better team in the second period.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Looked like goalie interference to me.

It was a melee for sure. But there was no goalie interference.

As long as I hear Brook and Poehling doing good/better I'm happy. Everyone else is gravy at this point.

 

[Runner77]

Leskinen is intriguing and who knows, might be a call up at some point.

How’s he doing this game?

They are both getting into the groove of things. Primeau is doing well, as well. And Evans is one of their more reliable player. And although he doesn't get as much fanfare, Vejdemo is looking good, as well. Also, even if Leskinen wasn't drafted, he's still young enough to be considered a prospect, and he's looked good, too.

 

[Tyson]

As long as I hear Brook and Poehling doing good/better I'm happy. Everyone else is gravy at this point.

You can see both getting acclimated to the speed and strength of older AHL players

 

[dackelljuneaubulis02]

Leskinen is intriguing and who knows, might be a call up at some point.

How’s he doing this game?

They are both getting into the groove of things. Primeau is doing well, as well.

Forgot both these guys stupidly. Evans and McCarron to a lesser extent.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Leskinen is intriguing and who knows, might be a call up at some point.

How’s he doing this game?

Solid game. Nothing that jumps out at you. But you can see what Habs saw in him to sign him. Mobile, smart, good defensively, isn't afraid to hit, seems to also find shooting lanes to get the puck to the net.

 

[Tyson]

That’s why Hudon is in Laval

 

[Adam Michaels]

Hudon whiffed on a shot as he was on a breakaway. Leskinen with a great pass to send him on the breakaway. That was Habs training camp Hudon on that shot.

 

[Tyson]

Lazy penalty

 

[Adam Michaels]

Lazy penalty

Yup. Real bad penalty.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Good job by Laval to immobilize the puck on the boards, killing time on the penalty.

 

[Tyson]

Primeau looks really good for a 20 year old rookie goalie

 

[Adam Michaels]

Primeau with another great save.

 

[Adam Michaels]

I don't know how Brook wasn't called for tripping there. Got away with one.

 

[Adam Michaels]

You gotta make those count boys. Barber with a breakaway and Lagace with the save. Providence owes any kind of point they get tonight to Lagace.
