Good fight by Brook. Took a couple of hard lefts early, but came back with four rights. Other guy fell first, so Brook with the win!
Now, I can say loudly SHUTOUT!
Belleville only had 12 shots? Damn.
Offer Bouchard a giant contract to stay as our developmental coach in the AHL. Honestly, in an expanding league with an ever limited pool of talent? You better have a world class development system. We seem to have one in Bouchard.
Wow. Down by two, your goalie keeping you in it and you finish the 3rd with only 1 shot on goal?
Did Bellevile play really bad or did Laval play really well?
These kids are hungry and they want to win everything... too bad the "adult" Habs are starving and seem to have checked out already.
Cool. Didn't see the game, but it looks like the Rocket really schooled them.Both. Laval was always first on the puck and Bellville did their best impression of last year's Detroit Red Wings.
This is some great news...........he really seems to have had a great season down there........he will be on the team next year, based on what he has done this year.I'd say that was one of Poehling's best games ever in Laval.
Bouchard!nice period from Laval. You have to love what Poehling and Brook are doing this year after last year.
Just remind him of what happened to the last outstanding developmental coach that was “poached” from us. I forget his name, I think Tampa had him for a while.Ideally, we'd keep Bouchard in charge of prospect development in the AHL for a very long time; but I just don't see him being satisfied being a minor league coach regardless of money. The guy built l'Armada into a powerhouse Q team, and in his last few seasons there he was even starting to Moneyball it with the trades.
Now, he's built the Rocket into a competitive team that will hopefully be a constant presence in the AHL playoffs, after god knows how many years.
At some point NHL teams will try to poach him, even if it's not for a HC position.
I’d keep him in the AHL next year. Let’s see what happens when the leagues normalize into a regular season. No rush with this one. Just IMO.This is some great news...........he really seems to have had a great season down there........he will be on the team next year, based on what he has done this year.
Yes... IF there’s a new coach and GM...This is some great news...........he really seems to have had a great season down there........he will be on the team next year, based on what he has done this year.
