Post-Game Talk: {AHL} Utica Comets vs. Laval Rocket (Laval Wins 5-4 in OT Off a Nice Goal by Cap X-Man)

[peate]

Maybe he covered one time. That is possible. But it's been Leroux/Gervais since the start of RDS' Laval broadcast.

Maybe I'm thinking World Juniors.

first that was a great play by Kotka to keep the puck in, then he had a nice setup to Peca that just missed going in and then he sets up Hudon again.

Not even 2 games and he's got 3 pts.

I know you didn't follow the big team much, but how have you found him for an 19 year olds first two games ?

 

[ahmedou]

We're disciplined.

 

[Fixxer]

2 goals!

 

[SpeedyPotato]

Norman Flynn also said he'd trade our first pick, Romanov and Caufield in order to get Lafrenière, even if we pick 3rd overall. That guy is not the smartest.

it's nice to see. its just too bad all the kids aren't together in the ahl building chemistry and confidence..

imagine for a second

Poehling Kotkaniemi Brooks (at defense for Christ sake) Fleury Evans Caufield soon maybe all playing and bounding and dominating.. now thats how you build momentum and translate the kids to the pros.

pretty good so far, there are some things i've noticed that he needs to be better at but I wasn't expecting changes to happen overnight. The good news is that with him being on the top line and getting a lot of TOI, and now that he's picked up some points already, the hope is that this will go a long way in building up his confidence.

What troubles me is the comment he made from last game, it's telling me that they need to do more to work with him. Now maybe Julien wasn't thrilled about him making the team last year but if the kid is there you got to work with him knowing how young he is and what he means to the future.

3 KK assists, 3 Hudon goals.

I'll always think that Hudon had an NHL career. He somewhat got lost somewhere after that 30 pts season in 70ish games at 23 years old.

 

[montreal]

Also I couldn't tell if that puck hit Fleury or McNiven in the final minute of the period there, if so Fleury may have saved a goal there. Really need to get him going, some of his defensive plays since coming down have had me wondering how he was in the NHL all year.

Pretty sure Poehling is going to join the Rockets soon, which is a good thing.

Bouchard makes so much sense, compared to you know who.

 

[Andrei79]

It's funny, Babcock, Gord Miller, Pierre Mcguire, Holland, Cheveldayoff, Bruno Gervais, Bouchard, Marc Denis, and on and on talk about the importance of the AHL and development...

Yet for MB (and some fans here who seem to adopt any position he takes), these things don't matter.

Not only that, but he also seems more personable. Wouldn't want to spend more than 10 min in a pub with Julien.... Bouchard would probably be an outstanding conversation / couple of beers.

He's also very honest. It's refreshing. I genuinely hope he's successful in his coaching career.

I guess those two aren't on the Molson payroll yet.

I kind of like the Max & Bruno thing, maybe it's because viewership numbers are low at that time of day - but they really speak their minds.

They're the only people who I trust the most in the organization.

 

[jiboy]

Ok AHL TV you got me

 

[peate]

Id do that trade twenty times out of ten and Id even throw in KK if I had to.

i'd do it without blinking

I don't get it, I'd do it too.

Speedy potato not so quick.

 

[ahmedou]

f*** off post

Can no longer speak his name. Like Voldemort.

 

[Andrei79]

Loving the Veilleux line.

This team just needs a little bit more talent.

Say, a Poehling, a Caufield and maybe a Suzuki for a playoff run.

Suzuki has nothing to do in the AHL though.

Reader's choice actually.

Selfish play here by Hudon...he should of pass it.
