GDT: Utica Comets @ Laval Rocket (3PM on RDS & 91.9 Sports FM)

[Runner77]

RDS with the "heartwarming" piece featuring Nick & Larry...

It was cringeworthy.

 

[Belial]

BigMac!!!

 

[Belial]

And another one! Geez...

 

[OnTheRun]

McCarron score twice in 7 sec.

 

[Tyson]

If only McCarron could become a force in Montreal. He is almost out of chances

 

[peate]

Whoever designed the lighting needs to explain himself. I've never seen glare like that on the ice.

 

[TheBlindFan]

The game is on RDS...

And yes Laval is driving the play and applying pressure but not a lot of great chances to be honest.

Thanks!

2-1 to laval!!!!!

 

[OnTheRun]

The play of the game right there. Utica tie it in the dying minute of the game.

 

[Belial]

McCarron lost like 10 FO's in 2 minutes... They don't have someone better to take a FO down there?

 

[peate]

Watching OT is like watching the Habs. Like they have no clue what to do.

 

[OldCraig71]

These guys resemble the big club, nice to see that things are going according to plan.

 

[peate]

Sad. Lindgren looks like a different goalie in Laval.

Game Over... Rocket lose 3-2 (SO)

They're shining a light on this year's best asset.

So I leave when the 3rd period starts to pick up my wife from work. It's 1-0 Utica and I'm doing everything in my power to keep my attention on the game. I come back home in time to see Audette miss his penalty shot. What the hell happened while I was gone?

 

[Tyson]

The things change, the more they stay the same, right coach Lefebvre??

 

[Belial]

Lindgren didn't look great in the SO. And what happened on that tying goal he didn't even move to try and stop the puck...

The things change, the more they stay the same, right coach Lefebvre??

It was the perfect opportunity to let Lefebvre go this past off-season. His contract was up. The team was starting a new era with the move to Laval. And one guy who was available was Dominic Ducharme, who interviewed for the Rockford Icehogs (Blackhawks' AHL affiliate). So you know he was looking to leave his Junior coaching days behind and start some pro hockey coaching. But, they decided to extend Lefebvre. At least it's only a 2-year deal. It's 2 years too many, but it would be easier to replace him now.

 

[Runner77]

Lindgren was slow to react and inexplicably had his left knee on the ice so he was vulnerable on his left side. Utica's Reid Boucher unleashed a slap shot from the top of the right faceoff circle on a slow pass across the ice from the left D. Had Lindgren been able to slide across even slightly, he would have stopped it as the shot cleared the net near the middle. I'm guessing Lindgren's sight was blocked as he must not have seen the pass across the ice that landed on Boucher's stick.

 

[Catanddogguitarrr]

Taormina headed to the box. Surprisingly, it's Laval's first penalty of the game.

I saw that ! Lol.
Looks like the only thing he can do on a hockey rink is breaking his stick while making a pass.
Everything is going wrong this year with the Habs. It's badluck or some kind of bad kharma.
I guess Timmins will draft the wrong guy again, as usual. Same thing going on forever ...

 

[Runner77]

Can't wait til we have a blue chip prospect in Laval. It's one thing to stack up the team with vets and journeymen in order to instill a winning culture (although with the likes of Sly and Nick Carrière, winning is not what they've been about), it's another to be able to enjoy a dazzling upside prospect show his wares locally before a jump to the big club. Tired of mostly seeing third and fourth liners getting shuffled about with the Habs.

You are describing Nikita Scherbak who was very fun to watch earlier this season.
