Post-Game Talk: {AHL} Laval Rocket @ Belleville Senators (Finally Beat Those Bastards: Laval Wins 4-1)

[DAChampion]

Kotka's 1 pt behind Poehling in 23 less games.

I can't tell if that's good news or bad news.

 

[Archijerej]

Of course. Make up call for Belleville after a blatant embellishment by a Sens player. f*** this shit!

I remember hearing Arpon Basu and M-A Godin worrying on their podcast about sending Kotkaniemi to Laval. They said at the time yes it would be good for him if plays well there and get good point production, but what if he does not? The cream always end up on top and Jesperi is showing it. He is for real and in his case it is just a matter of time. One point per game on a below average team in the AHL at 19 is very good. Add to that Bouchard working with him on other aspects of his game.

I don't understand people here saying KK is a bust, what an absurd statement. I understand people don't have faith in this management and how they develop their youth, but KK has a clearly above average IQ and lots of room to improve. I don't believe he will bust like many Habs prospects have. He's just too intelligent.

Since I bought an AHLTV subscription I've spent what seems like half my time watching Laval lose to Belleville, and here they are winning and controlling in the third period in spit e of missing half their roster.

This is great.

 

[Archijerej]

Some really good chances for Laval, but they fail to convert.

There is something to be said about trading two floaters in Barber and Varone. Team is much improved

Hudon hits the post

 

[Archijerej]

LaBate, Jesus, I hope you're all right after falling that hard!

 

[Archijerej]

 

[DAChampion]

The Rocket must be leading the league in penalty minutes.

 

[Tyson]

Damn it's never easy against this team

 

[Ozmodiar]

Kotka drives the puck into the offensive zone, falls down and while on the ice gets the puck over to Hudon for the go ahead goal.

I see KK has been learning how to use all that falling down to his advantage!

golden, jerry. Golden!

 

[CauZuki]

just wow
Now, give him +10lbs of strength and you have a pretty decent center

Some would say very good with a two way game that can't be taught but I may be bias...

 

[DAChampion]

The Poehling Jevpalov Dauphin like is somehow a fantastic seeming checking line. They're just swarming the opposing players with speed and harassing them and taking away their space and often taking away their pucks.

 

[montreal]

hell of a game so far, late in the 3rd but Laval is playing a very solid game.

 

[Archijerej]

Will they be penalized for falling down every second shift?

 

[DAChampion]

Kotkaniemi killed like 20 seconds of that clock with that forechecking.

 

[montreal]

Dauphin so close there, hope that doesn't come back to bite us.

 

[DAChampion]

Olofsson really wants to win. He dived to tip the puck out of the zone.

I liked the skating there, I'm no expert on skating but it's odd how sometimes his skating looks bad to me but there it looked fine.

There's really not much wrong with his skating at the AHL level.

 

[DAChampion]

Jevpalov definitely deserved that empty net GOAL !!!!

 

[Archijerej]

Yes!!! Jevpalovs with an empty netter! Wooohoooo!

 

[montreal]

feels like a playoff game

 

[DAChampion]

Dauphin with a well deserved empty-net GOAL !!!!!
