Good to hear Mysak and Beaudin coming back.
Mysak was not producing a whole lot but he still played well imo. I hope the production picks up.

However, 8 consecutive wins by the Rocket at home vs. the Crunch, excluding playoff games.

Poulin is injured?

 

[Tyson]

Trudeau has played very well as the season has gone on.

What is his upside?

 

[Schooner Guy]

Brutal giveaway down low (I think it was Simoneau?) and awful D coverage. 1-0 Syracuse.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Poulin is injured?

Yup

 

[Tyson]

Laval very flat and disorganized.

Also,
Is it me or is Madison Bowie not a very good player? For a guy with over 150 NHL games he is not very good.

I can't believe how consistent Teasdale has been after sucking early in the season.

 

[Schooner Guy]

Teasdale with a beauty goal on the PP. Great set up by Richard. 1-1 after 1.

 

[Tyson]

Nice to see Laval tie this game.

 

[schwang26]

How long is Simmoneau going to wear that bloody cage?

 

[Tyson]

Teasdale is awesome at the AHL level.

Teasdale struggled at the start of the season as he had to shake off the rust, plus he was playing on the 4th line, he's been a very solid AHLer when you factor in the injuries have caused him to miss so much time. Tonight he's playing in 103rd AHL game, add 15 playoff games and over the last 3 years plus this season he's played in 118 games.

It just sucks to see any prospect miss so much key development time but for Teasdale he was never fast to begin with, but now with the knee injuries it's only slowed him down more. But he's shown he can score at the AHL level, I think he will get a look in the NHL at some point but he's got to find a way to get quicker. He was great that year on the top line with Poehling.

Dello still sporting the George Michael 5 o'clock shadow.

 

[Tyson]

2-1 Laval

 

[Tyson]

Refs blew that call

 

[schwang26]

His own player hit him! I won't even go into how it wasn't even that hard either.

 

[Skip Bayless]

Teasdale is awesome at the AHL level.

I loved him since his first training camp with us. Too bad he's missed so much time since.

 

[schwang26]

The game is so close they clearly didn't want to allow that goal. I don't get how they would disallow that goal. The replay was clear.

 

[Schooner Guy]

LOL! Refs just blew the play down for too many men on Syracuse not realizing the goalie had left the ice. Bad period for the zebras!

Teasdale with an EN goal. 3-1 Laval. That should do it.

Primeau stole this game. We're talking highway robbery.

 

[schwang26]

Omg Teasdale blows the empty net first, then buries it on his second opportunity.

Hard fought win!!!!

 

[Schooner Guy]

Hard fought win!!!!

Terrific performance by the goalie!

 

[Tyson]

Nice game from Primeau.
Laval started slow but got their legs going in the 2nd.
