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.
I am actually concerned for his health longterm at this point. He seems to always be getting injured and this isn't his 1st concussion.

Niiice been about 2-3 weeks that I haven't seen a game from Laval. If we lose you know who you can blame

I don't have any faith or patience with a coach/staff who can't identify players who are making things happen vs those who aren't in a given game. Particularly when they are players who clearly have a leg up on their internal competition. Pulled the goalie with 5 minutes left a couple of games ago and didn't get the only Dman (Struble) who was able to do anything constructive into the game.Lord help us. It's not even a case a balancing winning vs development it was our best chance at achieving both that game and it was clear as day. Sad.

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
As long as Mailloux plays I am good.

3rd one I'm aware of. Hopefully it becomes a thing of the past. The bright side is this one was a fluke vs previous ones where Heineman was not aware of the danger and got caught.

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.
Those numbers are from a bad start. Not recent.

No matter what, they always find a way to suck against Belleville.

I can’t really watch them. Any comments on how is Mailloux doing so far this season ?

7 pts in his last 8 games, so the offense is clearly starting to come around. He's had some terrible defensive breakdowns but they seem to be less and less as the season goes on. He had one of his best games offensively on Monday, he seemed more confident with the puck as early on in those first few games (cause I missed the 2 worst games of the season for Laval) he looked in over his head and not very confident but has shown steady improvement so far.

I just hope they give him all the time he needs in Laval, which could be a lot but in a 4 or so years he could be the real deal as the physical tools and offensive skills are legit imo but I have my doubts about the IQ and think he will likely always struggle defensively and do some dumb things in his own end from time to time.

My vids are mostly focused on the rookies, Roy, Farrell, Mailloux so you can see a decent amount of the 3 of them in each game but the 2 worst (they are the only games I didn't make a vid for)

Last game,


game before that,


good bit of Mailloux in this one,

I watch them all on YouTube, I especially like the ones on Fowler. Have you any access to Quentin Miller videos by chance? Croteau?

Kidney had what a five point game in preseason AHL and can't even get a single game in the top six? I'm sure he'll explode next year
