Laval Rocket: Game 4 vs. Syracuse Crunch (Laval Loses 3-0) - Series Tied 2-2

[Tyson]

They have a lot of a -holes on Syracuse

For the most part Refs are allowing their thuggery. Walcott knocks Belzile down after the whistle...you penalize players for that and it stops

 

[Tyson]

Syracuse cheats alot.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Good job by Paquette to draw the penalty.

But that breakaway was Gallagher-esque. Start off with a straight line and the guy catches up to you so you are forced to take it to the corner.

Why can't Ylonen or Gignac get those chances?

 

[Tyson]

Ylonen one timer...I can sense it

Dumont is pure punk but he is legit in the face off circle

Dumont is pure punk but he is legit in the face off circle

Laval a step behind the entire period

 

[Adam Michaels]

They try some bad passes on the PP often.

 

[Tyson]

Laval ended the 1st with some good chances.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Not a bad period by Laval. But Syracuse was the better team in the 1st.

Laval picked it up a little towards the end.

Had at least one of the shots that hit the post went in, it would be a different story.

They also need to really test the goalie.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Lagace still out. And Dumont pushed Belzile on top of him. I though it was Dea.

Either way, dumb move by Dumont and Laval needs to capitalize, because Lagace has been amazing for Syracuse these playoffs so far.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Bad start by Laval in the 2nd.

And Primeau with a huge save.

 

[Le Tricolore]

Glad I saw this thread. I assumed it was an evening game tonight. Go Rocket!

 

[Adam Michaels]

Crunch are simply first on the puck.

Laval simply get hemmed in their own zone. They get the puck out of the zone. Go for a change and then the new line gets hemmed in their zone.

And defensively, Norlinder is not having a good game. And the Crunch seem to be taking advantage when he's out there.

 

[WinterLion]

Norlinder and Ylonen are both on a different skill level than the other skaters...

 

[dinodebino]

A Ben Groulx coached team is what you see.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Niku with an absolute terrible giveaway. Crunch hit the post.

Laval really need to wake up.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Gignac headed to the box.

Schnarr headed to the back. He left the ice a hunched over. I missed what happened.



Oh Paquette, if you scored that, it would have been a highlight reel goal.

That is a great PK so far. Laval got the better chances.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Laval has picked it up. They need to keep it going. But they haven't really challenged the goalie.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Geoff Molson in the house.

And Luguentz Dort in his box. For those who might now know him, he's a Montreal native playing in the NBA with the Oklahoma City Thunder.

 

[Whitesnake]

There's just no pace to this period.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Good news.

 

[Whitesnake]

And Paquette just left.

What the f*** is going on boys. you can finish this today.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Good news:

 

[Le Tricolore]

I see Paquette is just as dumb and bad in the AHL as he was in the NHL.

But Syracuse should've been in the box too.

 

[Whitesnake]

I guess he should have stayed in the room...what a stupid penalty.

 

[Le Tricolore]

Well, that might do it. Thanks, Ced.

 

[Krnage]

goalie interference ?
