Post-Game Talk: {AHL} Laval Rocket 3 - 5 Belleville Senators: The Belleville Curse Continues

[montreal]

a lot went wrong on that 2nd goal against, first no call on the high stick Peca got, then McCarron went for a big hit and missed, then Folin was out of position although I didn't see if someone didn't get back in time. I don't fault Primeau on either goal.

Almost nothing from the offense, although they scored like a weeks worth of goals last game so I'm expecting a low scoring game at least from them.

They are missing 3 of their top6 forwards (Hudon, Belzile, Varone), so at some point it hurts. Not that they were scoring anyway (except Hudon) but still. Guys like McCarron, Evans and Alain really need to step up.

GOAL! Cox on the PP.

Assisted by Evans.

 

[Adam Michaels]

What did Lynch just miss there?

Is Juulsen healthy-scratched or does he have trouble with "injury" issues?

Went to see a specialist as he's been having headaches again. Joel Bouchard said he's not alarmed by it and if all goes well, he will join the team in Syracuse tomorrow.

Brook is playing another solid game, really looks like his confidence is picking up. He's got 3 pts in the last 9 games counting today's game. Would be huge for Laval if he can get going but just to show how things have been, tonight he picked up his first assist of the season. That's shocking considering how well he can move the puck that it took him this long to record an assist.

McCarron though, man is he far from where he was last year before the injury.

Poehling still has a ways to go but he's been more noticeable these past few games.

 

[Adam Michaels]

GOAL! Waked! 14 seconds into the third period.

Assisted by Evans. His second assist of the game.

 

[Adam Michaels]

GOAL! Peca! 3-2 Laval.

The guy was flying off the flank and wrists an absolute beauty, beating Gustavsson on the short side.

McCarron and Alzner with the assists.

Cox's goal:

Belleville ties it on the PP.

nice speed burst by Peca on the goal but that was one the goalie should of had. Still nice to take the lead against these guys for a change.

I look at Waked and think that Pezzetta should be looking at him and saying he needs to be more like him. I know Bouchard likes Waked and he clearly isn't a big fan of Pezzetta who must find a way to play much smarter and not take those stupid penalties. But if he can be more like Waked, work hard, take the body but be smart about it.

I really believe that Bouchard knows what he's doing. Since the almost healthy scratch of Evans he's got 5 pts in 5 games. He had 4 pts in 17 games before that.

And while McCarron needs to be a lot better, he's got 4 pts in the last 6 games after getting 1 in his first 10 games. Of course he had to shake off all that rust after being out for almost a year but I'm disappointed he doesn't look quicker.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Brook with a beautiful pass to Barber to spring him on a breakaway. Barber gets taken down and draws the penalty. Laval on the PP.

 

[Adam Michaels]

And that PP is canceled. The puck jumps over Evans' stick and Belleville starts a counter attack. Evans hooks the player and gets called for it. 4-on-4 hockey.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Belleville make is it 4-3.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Oh my GOD!!!! WHAT DID WEISE JUST MISS?????

You can't miss those, man!

 

[Adam Michaels]

And that's what you get for not scoring on those open nets, you get scored on. Belleville make it 5-3 with 2 minutes left in the game.

Lynch missed one in the second period. Weise missed one moments ago. They score those open nets, it's a completely different game.

 

[Adam Michaels]

I hope Barber didn't get hurt in the end there. He struggled back to the bench and looked like he was holding his shoulder. Hopefully he doesn't end up injured, too.

 

[Adam Michaels]

3 goals on 5 shots against in the third period.

 

[Adam Michaels]

And with this win in regulation, Belleville gets within 2 pts of Laval. And they have 2 games in hand.

Not surprising with a team that's assembled by Bergevin

It's looking like he sucks, too
