Laval Rocket: Game TWO Charlotte at Laval 7PM EST
- Thread starter Tyson
- Start date
Laval has had a great run but they may be facing a team strictly built to win and not a team that is set up to develop young prospects.
This is a must win, it will be interesting what changes PV makes for tonight.

Laval always finds a way to elevate their play. They are quite surprising. But now they are facing some serious team. Let's see what will be the changes and how they play tonight.

Lots of reactionary comments after last night's game.
I believe this has the potential to be a terrific series. Charlotte is a very good team and Laval is better than the last game's score suggests.

A repeat performance of last night and the writing is on the wall. Would be great if some of the players played like future NHL players but none did last night
When your top 2 scorers are a combined -8 it pretty much describes the game. Their vets were head and shoulders better than our vets.

No one looked good from what I saw,but I looked away often in disgust. I get bringing up the plus minus but from what I see around here it's like a taboo subject and meaningless,but it does mean something if examined properly

We'll see if Laval can bounce back. All season, whenever they put up a stinker, they come back the next game and play beast mode.
We saw proof of that when they laid an egg in Game 4 vs. Amerks and came back in Game 5 and dominated the entire game.

Reinbacher and Engstrom were good. Nobody else was on the blue line.
Primeau couldn't make a save.
The Xhekaj line and Kapanen lines were good but weren't deployed enough.
PP was abysmal but that's mainly because the vets ruined every play.
Vincent didn't adjust

Charlotte played too fast for Laval to be able to adjust, that is why the PP was so ineffective.
I hope they find a way to counter what Charlotte brings, tonight is critical.

A much better effort is needed all around tonight, for all 60 minutes. The less said about game 1 the better IMO, might as well erase it all together and just go forward from there. We all know that wasn't a good representation of what the Rocket are.

I didn't finish watching the game as I had other things I had to do. But what I noticed is the Condotta - Simoneau - RHP line as the only one applying pressure on the forecheck and hitting Charlotte and would create turnovers. The other lines didn't really follow suit so once the 4th line was going off, Charlotte was able to play their game. And then when the Condotta line would go back on, they would repeat what they did.
Of the 4 final teams Laval is the only one that has an organization with a top ranked prospect pool. Vancouver, Florida and Dallas are usually in the bottom of the rankings. This suggests they are more experienced lineups than Laval with less actual prospects. All part of the learning process.
For Laval to have had the season they had with so many prospects is amazing. Hats off to the coaches, the vets and of course, the promising young players.
Just to add, the first two rounds Laval played teams with top prospect pools in Columbus and Buffalo. so similar situation and the veterans did make a difference. This time, they are facing a team built with veterans and experienced tweeners so it will be a real test to see if Laval tweener players like RHP, Condotta, Gignac can find a way to contribute to offset this advantage Charlotte has experience wise. They are icing a team that has over 1000 games of NHL experience if I remember correctly what was posted during the game.

It will either be Fowler, Primeau or Marco Marciano.
I almost would bet he plays Primeau again.

Yes, Vincent did confirm that he will have a goalie in net tonight.
I was scared he may have decided to play a defacement instead.... Glad he cleared that up.... lol
