Laval Rocket: 2024-25 Laval Rocket Thread

[montreal]

Only Pascal can answer that but one is 6', one is 5'9 and i believe Roy is a year or two younger.

that shouldn't matter, as I assume the reason he's benching Farrell is for his play as that top line should have been better since Farrell Roy and Gignac played together at times last year. If this is about benching Farrell for his play, what message does it send to bench him over Roy? Size should have nothing to do with it or the fact that Roy is younger unless he's just going to rotate players in and out of the lineup and he's not benching Farrell because of his play.

You are not wrong and I would add that neither are going to be players that will help your team contend. Not sold on either player

 

[morhilane]

why him over Roy though, who has looked mostly like shit in the 2 games so far. Very little effort, why bench Farrell and not Roy?

It could have something to do with efforts during practices/off-ice training. Pascal said they were keeping track of that when talking about Mesar.

Do you have a video of Vincent saying it?

I read it on an article, not sure if it was said in a video or not. It's a "quote" from Pascal Vincent in this French article: https://ici.radio-canada.ca/sports/2112591/filip-mesar-canadien-premier-tour-repechage-rocket-laval

The article quote:
On mesure plusieurs choses durant les entraînements et c'est un des meilleurs jusqu'à présent au niveau de l’intensité durant les entraînements. On a des résultats chiffrés sur papier après chaque entraînement qui nous disent à quel point ils se sont poussés eux-mêmes. Puis jusqu'à présent, il se pousse au maximum.

Translation: We measure many things during practices and he's one (Mesar) of the best for intensity during practice. We have numbered results on paper after each practices that tell us how much they are pushing themselves. Right now (Mesar) push himself to maximum.

Good for Mesar.

I imagine they called him up simply for practice.

It's good news for Arseneau, it means there was probably no actual fracture of his finger and they were able to put the joint back in place. It looked pretty ugly initially.

Cavallin is a fun name. Reminds me of those kid-friendly swear alternatives your grand-maman might use.

Your granny was probably throwing malakas and putana around at the dinner table like it was nothing !

Unfortunately, my grandparents either died before I was born or died when I was like 1. However, I've been around a lot of grandmothers who did indeed throw around malakas and poutanas around. And have met grandmothers of non-Greek friends who also had mouths like sailors.

I remember seeing Stephane Quintal do the exact same thing in a fight. He showed the guy he was fighting his finger and the guy was like “go” “go”!

 

[schwang26]

Barron out (no way that’s not a concussion) so here we go again. Right after I cave and pay for a subscription, the Habs will steal another player from Laval! Just when they looked really good too.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Perrault sent to 3R which means he's cleared to return to play. This is surely a conditioning stint. Question will remain after if he will end up back with Laval or if he'll stay in 3R.

Last time a player on a NHL contract was assigned to Trois-Rivières was during the inaugural season in 2021-2022 (Hills and Khisamutdinov).

Last time a player on a NHL contract was assigned to Trois-Rivières was during the inaugural season in 2021-2022 (Hills and Khisamutdinov).

And in Khisamutdinov's case, they mutually agreed to terminate the contract. Hillis at least worked his way back to the AHL and even got an NHL game in as Habs were absolutely decimated with injuries.

I think last year, they would have eventually sent a guy or two on an ELC to 3R as Laval started the year with like 17 forwards. There were a group of young players who were alternating between playing and being a healthy scratch. But within a handful of games or so, the injury bug in Montreal and in Laval hit early and suddenly Laval was down to 12 forwards.

Also in Perreault's case, he's coming back from an injury. So it will remain to be seen if he's going down on a conditioning stint and then back with Laval. Or if he's going to be staying down there for a while.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

I don't see much of an opening for Perreault any time soon with Laval, unless injuries/call ups start hitting the lineup pretty hard. I have him behind pretty much every other forward.

Yep. It's pretty bad when I regret trading Jan Mysak for you.

You mean Mysak of Shadrach, Mysak and Abednego? Not many will get it but if you do, hope you get a chuckle!!

I'm fairly certain I saw Arsenault do that himself.
I wasn't convinced it would be 100% effective however.

Mysak hasn't done much also.

You could see him try, I don't know if that did the trick, though. I had a few dislocated fingers myself playing football back in high school/college, if it's not too bad you can put the joint back in place pretty easy, if you know how. It'll still hurt like a son of a gun for a couple weeks, mind you Most of the linemen would tape them together, to avoid hyperextending them.

There's a great song about this by Jonna Gault. I wouldn't think many would have got this.
