Laval Rocket: Abbotsford @ Laval Rocket: Saturday, January 4th, 7 PM.

[MarkovsKnee]

Game night for Laval, too. They haven't been playing all that well, but they're at home tonight against Abbotsford.

They start at 7 PM. Habs 8 PM (probably more 8:15), so should be able to watch both games.

Is Primeau going to start?

Line mixer. He made a mistake so that third line is actually Harvey-Pinard - Dauphin - Mesar.

Xhekaj is nursing minor injuries so he gets semi-healthy scratched.

I'm hoping to see some fireworks tonight I think the time off probably helped some banged up players.
I'm really hoping Vincent has come up with a solution to his PP woes.
We get so many opportunities and do nothing with them.
I haven't liked our top 6 in the last 5 games or so Davidson has gone stale and it shows up big time 5v5.
The Beck line needs more production and Mesar seems to be having a hard time finding his early season form.

I don't know why he is refuses to break up Roy-ABB, if you are going to put the lines to a blender, these 2 should be split up for a spell imo, they look lazy together at times and can be so frustrating to watch.

I agree I don't think he has hit on the right mix yet at least not recently.

I hope he can salvage his career! Laval needs him

Totally agreed even though I'm happy to see Beck on the 1st line.

I would try this top6:

Davidson-Beck-ABB
Roy-Dauphin-Mesar

Bottom 6:

Tuch-Condotta-RHP
Arseneau-Xhekaj-Simoneau

Mesar has been struggling since returning so they need to figure something out to get him going.

Xhekaj has a minor injury so we'll see how long he's out but I wouldn't mind seeing something like Roy Xhekaj Farrell get a few games as I would not have stapled Xhekaj to the 4th line all year despite how it's clear that he needs to work on that lower body as he's still a little too light at around 188 lbs.

I’d be excited if literally anyone in the lineup was playing well. No one is stepping up

I guess the Hof is sick so he probably won’t play

 

[Tyson]

Primeau very sharp early

 

[ForeverHabs97]

Beck has that edge in his game he's pretty good

 

[Don D]

Cayden seems dialed in!!!!

 

[Tyson]

ABB is not that good. Not impressed

 

[Tyson]

I like Mesar's compete level

 

[Rapala]

When is Vincent going to realize Beck needs to be on the halfwall and Roy needs to be the bumper?
Let's stick our best skater in the slot standing still it make NO SENSE whatsoever.
You need your mobility in space FFS.

Primeau does not seem confident in the NHL. One bad goal and he seemed to fold.
So far so good in the AHL. Will he always be a tweener?
Laval powerplay having major problems lately, including tonight, so far.

I presume the 2 wastes Barre-Bulletless and Dolphin are on it.

 

[Rapala]

I presume the 2 wastes Barre-NoBullets and Dolphin are on it.

Dauphin has been a bit better lately but no bullets is a problem on that first line.
Condotta also has to start finding the back of the net 0 goals is not acceptable.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Hopefully Laval can find their goal scoring ability again.

 

[Tyson]

Hopefully Laval can find their goal scoring ability again.

They look like a completely different team than the one who was so dominant early on.

 

[Don D]

Simoneau from Farrell and Jacobs!

 

[Don D]

Abbotsford scored on their 20th shot. Now 1-1.

 

[Don D]

Laval 0 for 6 on PP tonight. It has been their downfall lately.
1-1 with less than 3 minutes remaining.
