They're really missing Belzile and Dauphin , there's just not a lot of natural scoring ability on that lineup. To their credit, they do work very hard though and they're finding ways to win. A Chris Terry or a Charles Hudon would really add something to that mix.

Laval gave some updates on the injuries:

- Vejdemo's injury is more serious than anticipated. He should be out until late April, back just in time for the playoffs.
- Belzile set to be back in early April. He is still wearing a boot on his foot at this moment.
- Brook still has swelling on his knee. They don't know when he'll be back, but he won't be with the team this week.
- Fairbrother & Bisson both had MRIs and are still awaiting the results.
- Gignac & JC Beaudin could both be back this week.


And they've also extended DSP's PTO for another 25 games.

Lindgren plays for Springfield (the Blues' affiliate) and he will start tonight.



Lindgren confessed to Marcotte that the last few years, he's suffered with insomnia with COVID and all the isolations. It messed with his mind and affected his performances.

I liked Lindgren at first, but he's a scrambler. All over the place.

Marcotte should have confessed that he was sucking in his stomach on that pic.

Hey Anthony, you gotta cut down on that arena grub!

So were Hasek and Tim Thomas.

 

[Tyson]

Niku is a smooth puck mover at this level

 

[Schwang]

So were Hasek and Tim Thomas.

Different times. Plus, those were elite guys who could scramble and still have the success that they did. Lindgren is no Hasek.

 

[Schwang]

Poulin may not be nhl material, but man he's solid in the ahl so far.

 

[Runner77]

I just tuned in to RDS and saw a Coke Zero bottle, which can only mean one thing — they had that crummy « Mets-en » commercial on.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Ouellet with the 5 on 3 snipe ! 1-0 for the good guys.

 

[Tyson]

That was a nice shot by the X man

 

[Tyson]

Different times. Plus, those were elite guys who could scramble and still have the success that they did. Lindgren is no Hasek.

Agreed that Hasek was in a different class.
Lindgren is a great #3

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Former NHLer James Neal ties it with a shot that changed direction a couple time. Not much Poulin could do. I completely forgot Neal was in the AHL.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Just got home from work. Ready for the rest of the game.

Some Habs links on Springfield.

- Charlie Lindgren
- Matthew Peca
- Will Bitten

Neal with a snipe and hits the post.

You can see why Springfield is among the top teams in the league. They move the puck well and they are aggressive.

Edit: and as I type that, Springfield goes up 2-1.

 

[Adam Michaels]

And now Laval goes to the box. Not a good period so far for Laval.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Springfield makes it 3-1.

And not long after, Martel picks up his own rebound and makes it 3-2.

 

[Schwang]

Phew. 3-2 now. I was getting worried when Springfield made it 3-1. Good response

 

[Schwang]

Agreed that Hasek was in a different class.
Lindgren is a great #3

I don't think he's an nhl goalie.
