Laval Rocket: Game 8 vs. Manitoba Moose (Laval Wins 2-1)

[Sagikev]

2nd time Blandisi has been held or hit or whatever behind the play, no calls... Not a conspiracy guy, but man it's getting hard to believe otherwise.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Leskinen will earn a chance for the big show soon.

He was up and looked ok all things considered

 

[DramaticGloveSave]

Sometimes I feel like I’m the only Poehling fan left in Montreal. There’s just so much to like about this kid.

I’m with you. Big, fast, skilled, and smart. When he brings the juice he’s excellent.

Does he look better this season? I didn't watch Laval too much last year.

He has potential all right, just not top 6 potential in the NHL. People need to scale their expectations down a bit and accept that his potential is more as an efficient 3C type, which can be very useful in itself if he pans out.

 

[Adam Michaels]

All right! Back home just in time for the 3rd.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Great skating by Ylonen.... but you forgot something there.

 

[Whitesnake]

I think it's time to part ways with Lindgren. There's just nothing to do with him at this point. But there,s plenty to improve for Primeau and even Demchenko and McNiven.

If at that age, the guy still overcommits the way he did a few minutes ago....there's just nothing else to work with.

 

[OldCraig71]

Ylonen will have to refine his game, way too much in the way of skill to ever fit the mold of the Montreal Canadiens.

Probably sure his time will be done when this season ends. They need a goalie if Price/Allen is injured for taxi , probably the only reason why he's still there

What remains to be seen is this....is what he can give us bigger than what we could have in return. If so, you keep him. But at one point, the guy will have to go through waivers if he can't solidfy in the NHL. So it's called having a vision as an organziation to know where all this is headed.

I feel he can be a Josh Anderson type player. He has the build, skill and nastiness. Just really like his skill set.

I guess we will see a McNiven-Lindgren tandem with an up and down all season long....but I hope it's the end after this season. Any chance he's worth a 7th rounder somewhere if we want to move sooner?

Toolbox is there. BUt if you never pick any tools from that toolbox.....The guy has to shine more than he's doing at the AHL level. People seem to forget that he's 22 and has played 3 seasons with players older than junior players. For a 1st rounder, that skill set is suppose to make him look better than he does right now.

So let's not give up.....but he has to start showing stuff real soon.

Buffalo was looking at getting a goalie with Ullmark injured.

It was wild that most us were ready to pencil him in as Price's back up a few years ago and he just keeps getting worse and worse

Poehling was projected to be a 3c since his draft year. Anyone having different expectations were delusional.

Late to the party. Here are both Laval goals:

Exactly right. Not all players have the same develop.

The 3 goal game was the worst thing that could have happened to him fan hype wise.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Moose make it 2-1 with 2 minutes left in the game.

 

[Treb]

The Moose started playing with 5 minutes to go. 2-1 Laval

 

[Adam Michaels]

And now Leskinen sends the puck over the glass and heads to the box.

 

[OldCraig71]

Are there more of these over the glass penalties this year?

Nice to see our NHL gameplan is translating to the AHL program as well lol..
