[overlords]

mckay just suckered that guy hard

 

[dinodebino]

Kidney est pas pire…

 

[Tyson]

Riley McKay is an amazing player at this level. All heart

 

[Kobe Armstrong]

Great play by Xhekaj

Kidney with a sneaky nice start to his AHL career, 5 goals and 9 points in 20 games

 

[Adam Michaels]

Two observations I've had from last night and so far today:

1) Laval's defensive game is better.
2) Laval is actually physically dominating an opponent.

Smooth and skilled.

Xhekaj effect?

I assumed he'd be a complete plug because of my EHM game, but he's been a nice surprise.

Xhekaj effect?

Heiny being back helps too I think.

And the goalie is making timely saves

And 8 of those 9 pts came in the last 10 games. He had 1 point in his first 10 games.

Yep he was a total afterthought early on. I advocated to send him to TR. Glad they didn't

 

[Adam Michaels]

Laval didn't score on the PP, but they got momentum and kept possession even after the PP is over. And a nice play leads to a great chance by Davidson, but goalie made a real nice glove save.

 

[Tyson]

When you have Yaramenko, Xhekaj, McKay, Legarre, you have some nice toughness

 

[dinodebino]

Don’t underestimate the Piques guy. Kidney is sneaky and is starting to get it by getting into the dirty zones.

Kidney and Slaf, same battle. People wanting them to be sent to the lower level. Organization chooses to stay patient. Both player now among the best players of their respective teams.

 

[Tyson]

Don’t underestimate the Piques guy. Kidney is sneaky and is starting to get it by getting into the dirty zones.

When I see him I see a guy that looks 13 years old. Crazy how young he looks.

 

[Adam Michaels]

And Bisson, who has been laying waste to guys with crushing hits.

And I agree with you about having some team toughness, but also some big boys who aren't afraid to get nasty.

When I see him I see a guy that looks 13 years old. Crazy how young he looks.

If he and Hutson play together, people will be asking them if they're lost and where their parents are.

 

[WeThreeKings]

If Dobes can make it out of this game winning it, I suspect it will be a turning point in his season.

He's been great these last two games.

 

[Tyson]

I complement McKay and he takes a stupid penalty

 

[dinodebino]

Stupid penalty though.

 

[Adam Michaels]

I complement McKay and he takes a stupid penalty

The opposite of our boy @Whitesnake's skill set, who has to criticize someone before they do something great.

____________________________

Dobes with the sneaky elbow push to nudge the net off initially.

GOAL!!! Yaremko makes it 4-1. Gignac with a beautiful feed on the 2-on-1. Great job by Kidney coming out of the box and starting the transition.

2 goals and 1 assist for Kidney.

 

[Tyson]

Damn 4-1

 

[WeThreeKings]

Kidney showing he ain't no after thought.

Great defensive play by Condotta to knock the puck off the stick of a player who was on a breakaway without getting a penalty.

What a great period by Laval. Please let these last two games be a sign of things to come. A team who won't give up easily, but continue to fight and battle.
