Laval always struggles against Belleville. Big test. Belleville is one of the best teams in the AHL.

It doesn't matter if Habs win in regulation or OT/SO. Belleville is too far ahead to make a difference if they get a loser point or not. What really matters is that Laval gets the 2 points.

 

[Schwang]

Great. Belleville. And With a depleted lineup no less.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Man, the defense is getting thinner than my freaking hairline. Primeau is gonna have to be real sharp and he always sucks against Belleville

My attention will be a little divided tonight as Impact plays an important game at 8PM. So I'll be keeping an eye on both Impact and Rocket. So chances are I'll miss some stuff or be late with some updates.

@montreal you got our backs tonight right bro ? Cause I'll be mostly watching the soccer as well.

 

[montreal]

the sens loaded up for a calder run as well so this will be a very tough test especially for that blueline. surprised Woods didn't get in over Halbert.

I don't know who they should have put with Hudon/Kotka but I would have went with Veilleux Dauphin Alain as the 2nd line and perhaps gone with Vejdemo Poehling Lynch as the 3rd line.

they badly need the points with the marlies winning today as well and their next 2 games after this are almost as tough though I would assume Leskinen and Cox play.

I wonder if Brook will be wearing a full cage after getting hit in the mouth yesterday and bleeding a lot on the ice.

Norris and Batherson now in Ottawa will make them less lethal one hopes

 

[Tyson]

Cautiously optimistic that Juulsen is practicing

 

[Danadiens]

Is Blandisi injured?

Can someone PM me a link to that game? (Is it forbidden to ask that? I guess Ill know if my post is deleted)

 

[Tyson]

Sens have a full roster, will be a challenge

 

[Archijerej]

A fast, tight-checking game so far. Laval is very diligent defensively.

Everyone subscribes to AHL TV I believe

 

[Tyson]

Is Blandisi injured?

4 shifts into his first game

 

[Archijerej]

Cross-checking penalty to Hudon. Not very smart.

 

[Tyson]

You can tell Belleville is a much better team. Ottawa has a strong farm team

 

[Tyson]

Here comes Norris and his 30 goals

 

[BobInNiagara]

Why is Kotkaniemi not in the lineup?

 

[Archijerej]

Excellent penalty kill by the Rocket.

 

[Archijerej]

Belleville starting to take over. Another penalty to Laval.

 

[Archijerej]

Why is Kotkaniemi not in the lineup?

He's playing.

 

[Tyson]

Formenton can really skate
