Habs cup - its in the BAG
I think they have no choice but to go back to Dobes here. If it wasn't a team in direct competition with us, you could go to Kaski but it's Belleville again.

Who cares about the Habs game when you can have the Rocket?

Exactly. Most meaningful game by far is this one imo.Who cares about the Habs game when you can have the Rocket?
I barely had time to rest before this one and I am only watching I expect a lot of mistakes and weird play today.

I have not watched much ahl, but he looked really good to me; so much more stable / square than at the beginning of the season.
« Printemps Dobes » would be a great controversy in 5 years if Fowler keeps getting the starts but this kid takes over a playoff series!

I agree. I love what Kaski brought to this team, but I think you win and lose with your best players when it's crunch time.

The game last night made me miss Simoneau quite a bit, especially early when the team was lacking in intensity. We just don't have another spark plug like him in the lineup, and there are games where a guy like that can really make a big difference. Really sucks that he had to get injured at the worst time possible 
I couldn't agree more, Simoneau with his intensity is sorely missed. He is way more important than I thought.The game last night made me miss Simoneau quite a bit, especially early when the team was lacking in intensity.

It's great we can watch both games today. I always defer to the Big Club when games overlap.

They had 6 games vs Belleville in the last 13 games of the season, so...
Agreed. They should’ve taken the opportunity to send RHP down when they had the chance. He played a similar style down there. Plus he’s doing didly in the nhl anyway.
I mentioned earlier that they should find a way to expand the schedule instead of playing the same teams all the time. I get there’s a cost involved of course. Maybe some teams could volunteer to do that? We never get the chance to see
They should find a way to play teams in the other conference. I know there’s a cost involved but maybe teams could opt in or out? Explain to me how Laval can play Cleveland and Chicago, but not Grand Rapids? We never get the opportunity to see half the league. Unless its the finals I guess
Edit sorry I didn’t think my first post saved

Really worried about this one. Belleville will be even more desperate and Laval did not look good at all yesterday. The PP has looked disorganized for a couple games as well.
Perrault might be starting to come on a bit at least. I usually support moves by Hughes (if it was him), but so far in hindsight they would’ve been better off with Mysak and Legare. I get what they were trying to do, but neither of the guys they acquired seem to be working. Durandeau especially is puzzling as he’s produced at this level. That should’ve been a really good acquisition.

Man La Place Bell is such an amazing AHL venue, so well done. Players must really enjoy playing in that atmosphere.
Fact is Kaskisuo is an excellent AHL goalie more than capable of winning this game.
Yeah Houle can't do anything right which ever way he goes. If he starts Dobes who faced a tough game less than 24 hours ago and he struggles...he gets criticized for playing him 2 days in a row. Same thing with starting Kaskisuo...if he struggles, Houle gets criticized.

There’s probably more people in one section than the whole Belleville arena!
He is. I have faith in both. It’s the team in front who may or may not show up.
Belleville is playing in desperation mode, Laval had to up their intensity
Being bailed out by the goalie early on.

He was lights out against Toronto. Dobes had too much work last evening to bring him back in an afternoon game.
