Post-Game Talk: {AHL} Laval Rocket vs. Lehigh Valley Phantoms (Laval Wins 4-0, Primeau 2nd SO)

[montreal]

- Syracuse beat Toronto in regulation. The key here is mostly that it was a regulation result and not in OT, which would result in both teams getting points.

after starting the season so hot the Marlies have picked up just 6 out of 20 pts in their last 10, Laval of course not too much better with 11 but the marlies looked like they were going to win another cup, although I haven't paid attention to them to see why they are struggling and there seems to be a lot of good teams in the AHL this year.

@Adam Michaels how do I buy one of those jerseys?

I don't think they're selling them at the moment.

And Binghamton, who have been one of the worst teams in the league has won 6 of their last 8 games, beating Utica once, Syracuse twice, and 1st place Rochester twice. So they've picked up 12 of a possible 16 points this last little stretch.

Was at Place Bell tonight. Good game. Rockets looked like a very well coached team.

Hudon is a notch above AHL level. Too bad he’s not figuring it out at the NHL. I would still prefer him over Kovalchuk though.

On defense Olofsson and Ouellet looked good. As for Brook, I don’t know how many minutes he played but I didn’t notice him much.

Some players like that, their ceiling is just the AHL. Like Barber. Like Hudon.

Hudon still has a good year or two of development. He had 30 points in his rookie year and can potentially put up 50 points 1 year in the NHL. I believe. But probably won't happen.

PTO contracts playing over Waked and Verbeek?

Waked's been next to useless. Verbeek has a lot of speed, but he hasn't really done much other than win some races.

Cuddemi and Veilleux have been doing well, particularly Veilleux, who has a lot of AHL experience. So at this moment, they're banking on that.

I don't think they're selling them at the moment.

If you find out let me know sir
