Already covered in the Laval thread, but the Rocket signed to players to try-outs. Both defensemen:

Veilleux returns. And Bisson playing his first game.

Again no Hillis. Really not understanding why he has only gotten one game if he isn't hurt.

 

[Tyson]

Go Rocket Go!

It's pissing me off.

The thing about developing him at center is that he has to actually... play..

 

[montreal]

no hillis is getting really frustrating but also very odd to see Blandisi on the 4th line as he should be one of their best players.

also surprised Bisson is getting in over Halbert who looked ok last year as I believe he played RD although I could be mis-remembering.

We know Bouchard won't purposely sit a young player without good reason. Maybe he is having trouble with the AHL speed? Pure speculation of course but Bouchard from what I have seen won't stifle a young player in order to win. His job is to develop these kids.

I dont understand theyre inability to play Hillis unless hes hurt.

"Having reach"? What is that -- a quality they look for in their Ds?

How do the Rocket square against Belleville? Who has the edge?

He played one game and won his face off and set up a nice play in limited minutes.

A non depleted Laval roster is superior

Bouchard would't keep him off the line up for no good reasons. Maybe, at this stage of his career, he is ECHL material, and no more. At least, we don't see Verbeek anymore. And Lynch is gone.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

No Ouellet is gonna be a pretty big test for the defense, although they managed fine at the end of last season when he was with the main team. He's still one of the key vets and a work horse at the AHL level.

A non depleted Laval roster is superior

So, a tough match up in store?

I think Laval dominates

Quick question, is RDS just showing home Rocket games? Im debating whether to add RDS to my cable package or just getting AHL TV.

Yes, only the home games of the Rocket.

Yes. RDS only broadcasts home games.

Does anyone else watching on AHL TV still have the starting line-up on the screen?

Initially I thought he was hurt because he got elbowed to the head in his one game. But it's been reported that he isn't hurt.

We know Bouchard won't purposely sit a young player without good reason. Maybe he is having trouble with the AHL speed? Pure speculation of course but Bouchard from what I have seen won't stifle a young player in order to win. His job is to develop these kids.

The only logical thing for me is if he isn't hurt, then the coach might feel he's not doing well enough at practice. I trust Bouchard. But it is frustrating to see line-up after line-up each GDT and no Hillis.

I see the game.
