Rocket found another way to win against a top team in the AHL while they were behind in late 3rd period. Its amazing how good they are this year

Rochester vs Laval...again hazy arena. MARCH 7
st...M 1st pair. R 2nd pair. Very short shifts. M and Wotherspoon switch sides on this shift. Don't like it. R and Engstrome have done it too on another game. R is doing the general thingy directing players but pulls himself too far. He's playing man-man where when it's this deep it's suppose to be zone. M 1st PP. R 2nd PP. M on PP, way too much passing around.
M must of got his ass kicked because he flew back to his zone as soon as opposing player got the puck. R tried a bit of his Bobby Orr but got stopped cold. One thing that gave me a cold sweat, he was on his knees and when he got up on one, it looked like it schook.
2nd...Hughes let's one in, a floater from blue line...OUCH. R owes coffee to M. M makes a great pass from deep in his zone to the forward trio, they score but R replaced M and he got the +1. Nothing special period
3rd...good period by both. M gets a minus with a tictaktoe goal behind him. If he played deeper he would prevent it but then the slot would be wide open.
Laval is clearly better then Rochester but they almost tied it.

Rochester vs Laval.. V2 March 8
1ST....M 1ST pair with Wotherspoon...and no Reinbacher***. Somebody has to explain to me why M starts a shift playing on the left side. He mastered his RHD so now put some flight time on the left? M on 1st PK. Rest of period normal shift/performance.
Rocket dominated. Rochester first shot was with 3 minutes left.
2nd...M twice gets trapped in their zone by holding from Rochester players. Partly his fault because he loves to pinch deep. Score 1-0 and the goal is all on him.
He's inside the opposition blue line, is doing a Hutson on the blueline but bobles the puck then loses it for a breakaway. The guy he's checking doesn't score, they guy behind does on the rebound and of course Roy doesn't cover him. In fact Roy just gave up and cruised in instead of playing the second man in. If he played the 200ft game, maybe there isn't a goal. Regardless, first blame on M.
Mailman wears it like a thorny crown. M is shown pacing the corridor...and he looks pissed and upset. GREAT. That's a whopper that should leave a scar. Benched for 2 shifts then out there.
M on PP. Again he's failed on situational awareness. He goes to help his forward against a player coming down the Rockets right side and misses the two opponents coming down the middle left. The correct play was ignore his forward and that opposing player and pay attention to the two guys coming down uncovered. No damage.
Period to forget.
3rd...M plays a meat and potatoes game. Low risk, deep in his zone.
M didn't have a good weekend.
Engstrom got a stick in the face in the second and missed the rest of the game.
REIN IS OUT BECAUSE OF THE INJURY RETURN PROTOCAL.
