Laval Rocket: 2024-25 Laval Rocket Thread

I'm not sure why some people are high on Farrell or why the Habs even drafted him. it's pretty clear that it's war in the playoffs and unless a smaller player has elite skills, or at least a few elite skills, it's going to be pretty tough to make it in the NHL.

I would not underestimate the high IQ, Harvard grad (economics major in 3 years). May not pan out, but too early to tell.

You don’t actually believe that PV has authority to do whatever he wants to, do you? He’s the coach of an AHL team wholly owned by an NHL team. His job is to develop players for the Habs. If the Rocket also win, it’s a bonus.

You’re insufferable with this. Whoever that rando is, he doesn’t know anything about what’s going on behind the scene.

No.. because of the entire season. Redenbacher is pretty much a guarantee, Fowler should be at some point next season, Beck & Xhekaj likely will at some point

That’s about it.

Thinking Davidson could be added there.......Tuch for the 4th line.....
Could be a couple of more players............the boys need to win game 5 and hit the next round.

Primeau gets the nod in game 5..................

Right, because you do. You’re very naive. It’s beyond obvious that the decision to start Fowler last night was not PV’s. No logical coach would have started Fowler over Primeau last night.

100%. A competent, professional coach would never have started Fowler. Probably why I will skip the game tomorrow.

Yeah, I agree. Could perhaps add Davidson and Tuch, but there’s no elite talent down in Laval.

We really don’t have any up and coming forwards (I’m exempting Demidov) besides Hage, so we better hope he hits. I’d like to see us draft two forwards at 16 and 17 assuming we don’t trade those picks for help.
 
Excited to see the Rocket respond this afternoon. These are great development moments that our prospects need to experience

It was reported today that Kent Hughes ripped to Vincent last night in the 2nd intermission for pulling Fowler. You are free to believe whatever you want to . . .

There's no way that's true lol. No General Manager, even if they wanted -their guy- to start, would advocate for leaving their prized goaltending prospect in the net to get completely blown out when he was obviously struggling.

If Rochester didn't score that 4th goal on that shift, I would have pulled him anyway. He was behind the play at that point. Not tracking the puck. He got rattled, started swimming, guessing and chasing. It happens.

Most competent professional coaches wouldn't have handled the goalie rotation as he has. I don't think Hughes told him to force Primeau into the net in game 3. I don't think Hughes told him to force Primeau into the net in game 1. I don't think he forced Fowler in net last game either.

I think Vincent has galaxy brained the goaltending decisions since Primeau got sent back down from the Habs and has succeeded in taking Fowler out of his groove and we will see if Primeau stays in a groove, thankfully he got some action last game after Fowler got pulled, so he hasn't sat for a few days when he gets the start tonight, which he absolutely should.

Laval has a difficult game ahead of them. No way they can have subpar goaltending today.
