Laval Rocket: Game #63 vs. Milwaukee Admirals (7PM ET on RDS, AHL TV, TSN690 & BPM Sports)

[Adam Michaels]

NEWS
- Jayden Struble will make his pro debut tonight.



- Desrosiers was sent down to 3R, which indicates that Poulin is good to come back.

​

Needless to say, Laval needs to win. Rocket also need some out of town help:

- Belleville to lose in regulation to Bridgeport. If Laval wins and Sens lose in regulation, Laval moves ahead of them and into a playoff spot.
- Rochester to lose in regulation to Hershey. If Laval wins and Amerks lose in regulation, Laval moves 1 point behind them for that 4th spot. Amerks with 2 games in hand.
- Cleveland to lose in regulation to Toronto. If Laval wins and Cleveland lose in regulation, Laval moves 3 points ahead of the Monsters, though they have 3 games in hand.

Good news is that both Belleville and Rochester are playing non-divisional rivals. So the other team winning doesn't affect Laval. And Cleveland is playing against Toronto, who is so far ahead, them winning is inconsequential.

Struble playing means I'll actually turn this one on tonight

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Allard is off to the side because he sucks ?

Allard is off to the side because he sucks ?

I imagine it's due to the depth and probably JF Houle feels more confident playing others over him. Because the games Allard did play, he looked okay.

But I would rather see Struble, Norlinder, Trudeau & Beaudin in the line-up. Schueneman is the standard. So then the 6th D is between Allard, Dello & Galipeau. Bowey is hurt, but he'd be in that 6th D spot discussion for me. So whoever is in and whoever is out between those 4 doesn't matter to me.

 

[Tyson]

This Laval team has to win 3 or 4 in a row

Allard is off to the side because he sucks ?

The team has 9 healthy dmen, some have to sit so others can play (Struble in this case), even when playing with 7 dmen.

 

[Tyson]

Laval probably needs to play Poulin. Gotta change something

 

[Adam Michaels]

Laval going with 11F, 7D line-up tonight.

 

[SwiftyHab]

We’ll….the recruits got me watching laval tonight

 

[Adam Michaels]

Facing one of the best goalies not in the NHL tonight, Askarov. We're also facing McCarron.

 

[SwiftyHab]

Man, Struble has a no nonsense look on the bench. He’s zoned in.

 

[Runner77]

Finally! Curtains drawn in @Adam Michaels ’ living room, to honor this beaut …

Milwaukee score on the PP after Simoneau goes to the box for cross-checking.

 

[SlafySZN]

Simoneau always take some dumb penalties

 

[Team_Spirit]

What happened to Simoneau he had such a promising start

Now he takes penalties every game

Man, Struble has a no nonsense look on the bench. He’s zoned in.

Apparently his game is very physical and nasty- often excessive, in a good way.

Any shifts yet for Struble?

Struble buries a guy before the goal

 

[Adam Michaels]

GOAL! Bourque ties it 1-1.

Just before that, Struble crushed a guy.

Ya. 3 I think. 2nd shift he bee lines to the net. 3rd shift - he made a guy fly

 

[habsfan891]

That was stupid af by Mckay

 

[Geecko]

McKay certified punching bag.

 

[Adam Michaels]

McCarron vs. McKay.

McCarron is not the guy you want to be fighting. That's a big strong boy. McKay didn't fall and hung on. But McCarron got a lot of shots in.

why the hell is mckay fighting. he can't fight.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Struble again knocking guys down.

why the hell is mckay fighting. he can't fight.

He's feisty. He might not be a good fighter. But he's a buzzsaw and likes to create some havoc and get under the other team's skin.

Laval starting to buzz. Draw a penalty. They're off to the PP.
