Post-Game Talk: {AHL} Laval Rocket @ Toronto Marlies (Ugly Performance: Laval Loses 5-2)

[Adam Michaels]

what the **** was the D doing there again?

Yea. They're not playing a strong defensive game so far. The breakaway happened off a bounce as someone was trying to get in front of the stretch pass, but it bounced away from him and Korshkov went on his breakaway. It was a nice move to score, though.

Kinkaid needs to make saves to make sure his team even has a chance.

 

[Canadienna]

Watching my first Laval game ever. Funny how when you use your AHL team to develop players it generates more interest.

It's good hockey.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Laval has picked up the pace.

Apparently, Bouchard gave it to the team during the commercial break.

 

[Adam Michaels]

And Toronto makes it 3-0.

And just moments before, Kinkaid made his first key save. But moments later, it still ended up in the back of the net.

 

[Big Empty]

Kinked can't save anything. We were dominating play for the past five straight minutes and he lets in that shot.

 

[montreal]

that was on Kinkaid, to think he was complaining about not being called up, here's an idea try stopping the puck more often.

 

[Adam Michaels]

GOAL! Fleury! WOW!

 

[CHfan1]

Nice shot by Fleury

 

[Geecko]

Wow what a goal.

 

[Hannibal]

Benched him ffs

 

[Big Empty]

Fleury with a jaw-dropping goal. WOW

edit: Kotka got an assist also

 

[Adam Michaels]

Kotkaniemi and Fleury were beautiful here.

Another assist for KK.

 

[montreal]

what a shot from Fleury!

 

[Geecko]

KK with his 7th point!

 

[Andrei79]

Great play by Fleury, he's getting his confidence back.

Also, another nice play by KK. Really looking good down there.

And please send Kinkaid to Siberia. Guy's going to cost us the playoffs.

 

[montreal]

wonder where Laval would be in the standings if they figured out they needed to send Kotka to the AHL a month or so ago.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Laval headed to the PP again.

 

[Andrei79]

Just like that, they got a number 1C.

We can ask ourselves the same question with Poehling. Evans and Poehling could have been shared the C spot on the same line, or played the 2 and 3 positions.

I had JK in Laval in November.

 

[HelloBellyvo]

KK kept the play in the zone to allow for that Fleury goal.
NHL play all the way

 

[Adam Michaels]

Love it. Kotkaniemi, Hudon, and Poehling on the same PP unit.

 

[Redux91]

8 pts in the NHL, 7 already in the AHL lol

 

[Adam Michaels]

Kinkaid with a great save on the PK.

 

[DangerDave]

8 pts in the NHL, 7 already in the AHL lol

This stint in Laval is going to be so good for him long term.

Same here! I used to watch Bulldogs games all the time back in the day when our farm had actual prospects on it. It’s been that long. Lol
