Laval Rocket: 2024-25 Laval Rocket Thread

Is there a way to get Time on Ice stats for Laval?

AFIK...nope. I was looking for it and it would tell me a ton about Vincents coaching but nothing to be found.

So the little bastid M has brought his game to another level. But without watching the game, I don't know how his defensive game is doing. Last game I watched he had 3 bad mistakes and 3 goals against. He's pinching and I've seen him pay the price repeatedly. But I guess goals mean far more then a mistake. No one ever accused Hutson and Math of playing error free defense but everybody looks the other direction because of their offense. I just don't know how Vincent was keeping him on an ultra short leash and now, it seems to have changed. I wonder, did Vinny get a talking to? Cranking about his bs method of carrot and stick was so 50s and MTHead stupid. Hughes got involved? Or the telepathic emails got through? Whatever...as long as M is starting to shine. We need an RHD offense first and defense first solution. So Rein and M can really round up or defense top 6. Hutson-Rein Guhle-Mailman X--Engstrom or Carrier

Thanks. Not terrible. Struble can cover that.

After a slow start, Struble has hit his stride and will, with his mobility, size and underrated skill level, quickly become Laval's best defenceman. Even when Trudeau returns.

Struble is a significant upgrade over the career AHLers that largely populate Laval's defensive core.

I was wondering about him and the other Russian D. I think he’s in the VHL.
What about Sam Harris? I guess it depends on how long he stays in school.
No one from the CHL and I don’t see other college players (besides Fowler)
I don’t see a big influx of prospects to Laval next year. (I guess Reinbacher is included)
I think they need to sign some free agents. Some vets will surely leave (I see ABB, Hughes, Primeau, RHP (not sure on his contract), maybe Gignac). Not sure where Trudeau is on his contract.

Both Kostenko and Sobolev are in prospects in name only. I would be really surprised if they ever signed with Montreal.

I don’t think the stat is tracked at AHL level (seem to remember a post saying that here a while ago).

February 12th they play in Ottawa against Belleville.

That's a Wednesday, otherwise I'd take the family to see them.

More than likely a way better game than Habs Vs Sens
