Time for them to send Kidney to 3R to be 1C.

Once Heineman et Andersson come back they should do that.

Once Heineman et Andersson come back they should do that.

He's scratched today so might as well do it now, they can put a warm body from 3R in the pressbox.

College goalies looking bad out of the gate. Hopefully they get better.

38	Strauss Mann	7	329	4.02	1	3	1	0.866
71	Jakub Dobes	7	378	4.45	3	4	0	0.861

Thats true, I believe Parker-Johns is still here as an healthy scrath.

When both goalies stat-lines look like that, it's the defense and team structure. Dobes has looked good to great in recent outings, as the team starts to stabilize.

It's the opposite when you see both Bruins goalies looking like Vezina winners, neither of them are that good but structure and team defense helps.

Beaudin will play tonight. Says he's found it difficult being scratched in 8 of the first 12 games. But wants to remain a professional. We know Struble will serve the second of his 3-game suspension tonight. So curious who will sit out between Galipeau, Bisson, Keeper, and Norlinder. It seems Mailloux and Trudeau are mainstays.

Also, can't wait to see Beaudin go from a healthy scratch to quarterbacking the 1st wave of the PP, right @WeThreeKings?

He's also injured. Unless he's back and I missed it.

He will scratch Norlinder.. I'm surprised Mysak isn't scratched for JPJ

But yes, we know Beaudin will definitely play PP over Norlinder.

Yup. The games against Manitoba showed promising signs for Laval's defensive game. But that could also be because they played Manitoba, who are 30th overall in the standings. Not that Laval is all that much better (they sit 25th overall). But Manitoba is even worse.

Yeah we don't trust Beaudin to play in 80% of the games but put him on the 1st PP when he does...definition of a head scratcher.

Big part of the future so gotta give him those minutes.

Anderson might end up being out long term. It's an old injury that's come back to plague him again.



McKay also has a minor injury. He will take part in the warm up and he will be a game time decision. If he won't be able to play, Kidney will get int the line-up.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Unlike how we feel when he's in Montreal, it is good that Armia returns to the line-up tonight for Laval.

Hopefully it's Norlinder with 3 minor penalty last game. Keeper should be in the lineup 100% of the time, he's solid in his own zone. Galipeau and Bisson are both playing very well lately and should also remain in the lineup.

For this game it should be:

Bisson-Mailloux
Trudeau-Keeper
Beaudin-Galipeau

 

[Adam Michaels]

Obviously they won't break up the top line of Roy, Gignac & Farrell.

I expect the second line to be Armia, Stephens & Maillet

My guess for third line: Condotta centering Simoneau and Davidson.

And the 4th line will be Mysak, Légaré and either McKay or Kidney.

Unlike how we feel when he's in Montreal, it is good that Armia returns to the line-up tonight for Laval.

He didn't do enough to be amongst the 12 starting forwards in Montreal. He doesn't care...he gets 4.8 million this year regardless of where he plays.

 

[Adam Michaels]

You sure?

If Houle breaks that line, I won't be happy. I know Armia and Roy had chemistry last time. But the Roy-Gignac-Farrell line's been great. It would be a mistake to break them apart after having the success they had the last few games.

Stephens and Maillet have been producing lately (Maillet with 5 pts in his last 5 games & Stephens with 7 pts in his last 10). So hypothetically, Armia would help them continue to produce.

 

[Tyson]

You sure?

Like I said last game, Mysak should never be a healthy scratch and that Kidney belongs in TR playing top 6 minutes. We have enough AHL vets to allow Kidney to play in TR.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Correct. But I'm not looking at it from Armia's perspective. I'm looking at it from Laval fans' POVs. We don't want him in Montreal. But we're glad he's in the line-up for Laval.

He broke it before.. I just don't trust ihm.

% agree especially if he is enjoying playing in Laval.

 

[Adam Michaels]

One thing I can't wait for is Heineman's return. And it's good to see him shed the no-contact jersey, which indicates he shouldn't be far from getting back into the line-up.

I could see them possibly give him the rest of this week off (game tonight, Friday, and Saturday) while also giving him more regular practices in. They're next game after this week is next Wednesday. So I've set my eyes on him returning next Wednesday. Would love it if he returns Friday or Saturday, though.
