Post-Game Talk: {AHL} Laval Rocket vs. Manitoba Moose (Laval Loses 5-4 in the Shootout)

[Schwang]

I don’t know why Laval has been so bad lately, but Manitoba is garbage!

 

[The Great Weal]

it's still very impressive just a very small sample size, as you just don't see 19 year olds in the AHL over a ppg although I don't think he could keep it up.

here's the all time scoring in the AHL for U-20 players,

he's had some chances but needs to shoot more. I still worry about the skating though, he's got to improve there.

It's nice to see him excelling as a playmaker, but his skating, strength, puck handling, shooting still have a lot of work to do. Might need him to be in the AHL for another year.

 

[Schwang]

Can they not just cut Kincaid loose? Send him home?

Lately? since 2012?

 

[montreal]

f***ing Peca and then f***ing Fleury taking a very stupid penalty. At least they get a point but badly need that extra one.

I don't get why Bouchard keeps putting in Kinkaid though, in his last 5 starts he's given up 22 f***ing goals. Call up LaCouvee and never play Kinkaid again.

 

[Schwang]

Lately? since 2012?

I meant they shouldn’t be bad this year.

 

[CauZuki]

Amazing

On a side note it's really terrible that Hudon's goal scoring prowess doesn't translate at the NHL level. I wonder if he ends up finding his game in Ottawa like all the other local players with a bone to pick with the Habs...

 

[Per Sjoblom]

Yeah, I'm starting to consider it. It seems pretty crazy to think MB wasn't willing to give him up for O'Reilly in hindsight. His play is a big point of concern.

Really! Was it because O'Reilly drove into a Tim Hortons?

 

[Adam Michaels]

Great kill by Laval.

 

[Schwang]

f*cking Peca and then f*cking Fleury taking a very stupid penalty. At least they get a point but badly need that extra one.

I don't get why Bouchard keeps putting in Kinkaid though, in his last 5 starts he's given up 22 f*cking goals. Call up LaCouvee and never play Kinkaid again.

Isn’t Mcniven still up?

Hes so slow.. Ive never seen a player be this slow and always behind the play. He may just be slower than John Scott.

 

[CauZuki]

Yeah, he really reminds me of Corey Locke, it's too bad he's a good kid was really rooting for him but just doesn't have it at the NHL level.

 

[Mrb1p]

Reminds me of Corey Locke.

I dont know, Corey was smart and seemed to be in the right place at the right time

Hudon isnt so smart, hes behind the play because hes slow and because hes not so smart.

 

[CauZuki]

I dont know, Corey was smart and seemed to be in the right place at the right time

Hudon isnt so smart, hes behind the play because hes slow and because hes not so smart.

Corey Locke was more talented and had better offensive IQ but they share a lack of speed and an inability to translate their offensive game to the NHL.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Kotkaniemi: Miss
Griffith: Goal
Varone: Miss
Vesalainen: Miss
Hudon: Save (nice pokecheck by the goalie)

Manitoba wins in the shootout.

 

[DAChampion]

Kotkaniemi misses the net on the shootout.

 

[DAChampion]

Kinkaid lets a goal in on the shootout.

 

[JennyHockey]

Kotkaniemi cant just score a goal

thats sad

 

[montreal]

Isn’t Mcniven still up?

he is but he was pretty shaky in his only start and they haven't put him in since.

 

[Schwang]

No bloody shots even

 

[Mrb1p]

Laval is the same as Montreal. Serious lack of talent, no identity, poor coaching, bad management.

La pomme tombe pas trop loin d'l'arbre.

 

[Schwang]

Unbelievable

 

[montreal]

gave away a point they very badly needed, they have been struggling badly on the road so they must get as many points as possible at home.

 

[DAChampion]

Varone loses the puck and doesn't get a shot on the shootout.

Veselainen loses the puck so Kinkaid doesn't need to make a save.

Hudon loses the puck, no shot.

Shootout lost.

 

[Schwang]

That loss is solely on the guy who iced the puck with 33 seconds left. I didn’t see who it was, but if he’d just got to centre, they would’ve won.
