Today is their last game before having a week off. Their next game after today is on March 8th, which will be their first game on the road against Belleville (who will play out of Ottawa's NHL rink).

 

[Number 57]

I said it was fine to give Lindgren a start last week but why oh why would you give him another one now?

They have a week off coming up, just play Primeau. Or one of McNiven/Demchenko

McNiven is with Montreal in Winnipeg on the taxi squad. They also sent Lindgren down to play a couple of games (similar to Frolik) before they end up calling him back up. And since this is a second game in less than 24 hours, they go with another goalie. If McNiven was still with Laval, guaranteed this would have been his game to start.

Back at it against Manitoba again. It's an afternoon game.

Welp, I'm getting palpitations already Let's all hope we can score a lot of goals today ! Like, 5 or 6, just to be on the safe side.

Belzile and Fleury will come off Habs' taxi squad to play for Laval today.



I thought they were physically with Montreal in Winnipeg. Looks like I was wrong. It was more a paper transaction.

Rough day

I hope someone asks Bouchard about Hillis. Because in the one game he played, he got elbowed to the head. He finished the game. But it's possible he's not 100% healthy.

Are the lines already out for today ?

No. But what we do know is that Lindgren will start and that Belzile and Fleury will play.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

No. But what we do know is that Lindgren will start and that Belzile and Fleury will play.

So Hillis might be in then , we just don't know yet. Belzile will help the offense a lot in any case, glad to have him back. He's a true top 6 winger at the AHL level.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Mysak will play today, too.

I just asked Anthony Marcotte if he knows if Hillis is healthy or hurt since he got an elbow to the head. He said he's not 100% sure. But Bouchard has said that they have an overabundance of centers in Laval and the Habs want Hillis to play center.

Okay then play him at center more than once in 8 games.

It won't be Berdin in nets for the Moose today:

Mysak is in the line up and will possibly be off to the OHL as soon as they open the gate for their new season. Good decision to test him again. Hillis will have plenty of opportunities later on.

 

[1909]

Nice to see Belzile back in the line up

McNiven is in Winnipeg with the Habs, I think ....

GOAL! Vejdemo makes it 1-0

Beauty pass by Belzile and Lukas one-times it.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Laval dominating.

 

[Suzuki x 14]

12 minutes in Moose have a post, but still no shots on net

 

[dinodebino]

The Moose is a very bad team.

Poehling can really fly. I don't remember him using his speed well in the NHL
