Laval Rocket: 2024-25 Laval Rocket Thread

But but I thought … Pascal Vincent Bad !?!

 

[montreal]

So Pascal Vincent is not that bad ?

Ask me on Dec 15th.

He's one of the reason i'm not a big fan of signing Evans long term. Don't think it will take 3-4 years for Davidson to be ready.

Different types of players. Davidson isn’t a defensive player of PKer

He actually is a good defensive player. But Beck is probably a better successor to Evans.

He might be, but he’s not one of their PKers and not a centre.

This team man lol
Way to go boys
Keep it up!

Again, Laval played 2 of the worst teams in the league. Dont think that Vincent is a savior. The team is almost the same as last year

Keep up that astute hockey knowledge!
We're all cheering you on!

you're living on another planet if you think a coach can change a non playoff team to the best team in the league in a summer time with no additionnal assets. Laval had a great start, but has not faced adversity yet. Why do you always cry when I state facts?

No additional assets?

You think this is the EXACT same team as last year?

Bourque, Maillet, Andersson, Stephens, Mckay vs Dauphin, ABB, Beck, Mesar, Arseneau

Keeper, Norlinder, Bisson, Galipeau vs Wotherspoon, Jacobs, Engstrom, Lindstrom

Kaskisuo vs Hughes

While I agree a coach by himself does not take a team from bottom to top in one season, the difference may not be just luck or weak opponents. It looks like it is at least partially the roster. They acquired a good new goalie and experienced D-men, while Beck, Tuck and Xhekaj have stabilized the forward group.

Acquired a PPG player, 3 solid veteran D and a solid veteran backup. Sorry, not almost the same

No additional assets?

Probably not watching the games.

Condotta over Roy is a joke. Management is hoping that Jake Evans develops the skills to be a 2nd line player instead of playing Roy.

Of course. Starts doing well and he’s week to week.

I’m ok with that. Condotta has been good but at least they can live without him for a bit. I wonder if ABB or Dobes will be back?

Or they don't want to yo-yo the player.

I’m sure it’s a very temporary call up. He didn’t even play last time. And again. Why add another 21 year old to that environment? You think Roy is the saviour? That he’ll make a huge difference? It’s been tried for the past 3 years and it doesn’t work. It’s not the time to add more kids to a rebuilding team. Laval is a great environment right now so keep them where they are and let them win.
If anything, the Habs should add vets at this point.

Yep leave the legitimate young prospects in Laval.

Does Roy need to be a savior to try changing up the top 6 and potentially score more goals than the 4 goals from Slaf, Dach, and Newhook in their combined 36 games? What's been tried for the past 3 years? Play one of our best prospects in the top 6 instead of middling players?
