Laval Rocket: Game #70 vs. Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins (Laval Wins 4-0)

[Runner77]

GOAL!! Martel on an empty net.

POS move by Houde who simply pushes Martel to the boards after.

POS move or standard AHL sore loser goonery playbook move?

Nice win, RHP's smile was glaring in the post-game celebrations

We always talk about hockey IQ but going to the slot while cruder also works (RHP is a good example). Frequenty on a Habs game there's no one there while it's the opposite for the Rocket.

Impressed by Struble's ability to use his skating and size together for physical plays, for a rookie. Nothing spectacular (yet ?) but sometimes he seems to be applying so much force just shoving someone on the boards.

Hope they make the playoffs but that recent loss vs Cleveland will probably be the difference maker.

I like this guy. I don't think Jordan Harris can hold him off for very long. That makes Harris an interesting chip on the trade table. IMO Struble is bigger stronger defends well and has better Oside potential. Harris may have a slight advantage reading the play but it is negligible.

Was at the game tonight. RHP and Ylonen showing why they’ve been in the NHL this year. Heineman buzzing all night. Some fun hockey in Laval!

Also, Devane is a dirtbag.

Didn’t know there was a clip of it but nothing like seeing it:

That clown will probably fit well on the Bruins some day.....

Wasn’t he (Houde) in our prospect pool once?

Wasn’t he (Houde) in our prospect pool once?

Yes he was.

Laval started the game with 6D, they finished the game with 4. Beaudin went down and didn't return. And in the 3rd, Trudeau got hit in the boards from behind and left the game. So the Rocket finished the game with Norlinder, Struble, Schueneman & Dello. Hopefully they'll both be good for Wednesday's game against the Marlies.

Although he doesn't have many games under his belt, Struble played his best game since turning pro. He was solid. There's no panic in his game. He already plays like he's been playing pro hockey all season. Norlinder has improved a lot throughout the season and he also played a real solid game.

Even though Struble isn't out there crushing guys his strength is very apparent with how easily he shoves guys off of the puck.
