Laval Rocket: Game #3 vs. Springfield Thunderbirds (Laval Wins 2-0)

[WinterLion]

Barron is having a tough game.... but he is a smooth skater. Needs to be stronger on the puck and make better decisions.

Primeau has been very solid.

Crap. Late PP Springfield. So... Frk or Bitten here?

Trudeau on the pk with less than 4 minutes left. Love to see it.

That was great play by Leskinen on the Bourque goal.

EN Springfield.

Sakic knew what he was giving away, he isn't a dummy

What’s Barron’s problem — is he pouting? Thinks he’s too good for the AHL? He’s skilled but his attitude may be questionable and if it is, I don’t know how you fix that.

 

[Belial]

Woot!!!

 

[Whitesnake]

Good camera work there...lol

2-0 Laval will get their first win.

 

[Tyson]

Dello is so good at this level

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Dello scores the ENG from in front of Laval's net. Nice 200 foot shot.

Phew. Well, solid game for Primeau. Gotta get some kids scoring goals though.

He will be humbled

Primeau was good.

34 saves. Good for Laval

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Good game. Trudeau is looking good. Primeau was strong & gets the shutout.

 

[Runner77]

Shutout for Primeau.

Yep. Still not a bust....but I'm not holding my breath.

Would have taken a 1st and a lesser prospect...like Helleson. Though Helleson might already be better...

 

[Belial]

Great defensive game after allowing a lot of goals in the previous games.

Would have preferred a 1st too. 2024 1st over a 2nd. Helleson is definitely better.

We'll see how the year goes, but if Jets want Barron for Dubois I'd say yes. Mailloux is a much better prospect.

 

[Agalloch]

Norlinder is better at d that I thought.

That’s an interesting possibility with his brother Morgan already with the Jets.

Just not getting the impression that Justin is hungry enough. Him being lackadaisical was a comment I saw more than once while he was at the Habs’ camp.

 

[Tyson]

Norlinder is better at d that I thought.

Maybe there is something there after all

 

[Tyson]

Has he been that bad ? I thought I read he played well last game. Didn't watch the game so wholly ignorant on the matter.

He is very good but he has to be better as he matures. 3rd year in AHL is vital

 

[HostileCapSpace]

Norlinder is better at d that I thought.

I'll need a bigger sample to get back on the Norrislinder bandwagon though...

Where does that come from?

He was good when we got him last year. His season ended up with what looked like a pretty bad ankle injury.

This year he had a bad camp, and apparently still plays bad. Doesn’t sound like pouting to me…. Either he’s still recovering, or he’s not ready.

Or he’s not great right now for whatever reason is going on in his life. Who knows?

He just seems soft and never really just goes at anything. Like, watch Guhle on the puck, he's a pitbull. I watch Barron and it's like.. ho hum, whatevs. Maybe i'm judging him too hard since I've been a Guhle homer for a couple years.
