Laval Rocket: Cleveland at Rocket 7PM

[MarkovsKnee]

Brutal play by Beck. I get the disappointment about being overwhelmed in the NHL and being sent down... But come on man, compete.

Not sure what's going on with Beck, but he's been absolute crap since being returned to AHL. He needs to be a lot better.

Del Bel Beluz looks like he's going to be a player for Columbus. I remember what a horrible skater he was in junior. He has improved that part of his game a lot.

 

[Natey]

The OT was very weak. They couldn't shoot the puck.

wouldn't*

Kids need to see tons of Mailloux, Roy and Barre-Boulet videos. You need to know what not to do, to understand what to do. They need to look at and treat that kind of hockey like medieval peasants treated the black death.

 

[Goldenhands]

Fantastic game by Reinbacher, wont take long to justify his draft ranking, he is simply amazing in so many areas of the game, Habs top 4 next fall no doubt.

Mailloux and Mesar were painful to watch, Beck underwhelming.

Xhekaj I love him, will be a solid NHLer, 2 brothers who will terrify the entire NHL night after night, cant wait to see that!

Xhekaj Jr looks like he's ready to replace Armia next season.

Not yet.

 

[Tyson]

Vincent really trusts Xhekaj, using him on the PK and in OT. For a kid who only played 2 seasons in the OHL he has really blossomed. No one thought he would be this good this quick. I hope they are patient with him and let him play next year in Laval. No rush.

You have to think he’s going to get a serious look for a 4th line role next year. Perfect bottom line player with some upside.

Yep no rush with him, another year in the AHL wont hurt, he has been handled perfectly so far IMO.

Flojack and Reinbacher both impressive. These kids will be in the habs lineup soon

I think Flojack needs one more year, but Reinbuster will make it out training camp.
