It will be interesting to see if any line up changes are made.
Fowler is playing is my guess but what about Kapanen? Do you dismantle a winning line up or do you tweak it to make it better?

I'd say no changes. Kapanen has had one practice and they are up 2-0.

Let's go Rocket!!

Playing some classic playoff head games.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Should be Fowler.

Going to be at the in-laws, but might just stream it to see it.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Place Bell will be absolutely rocking!

 

[Team_Spirit]

Anyone going to the fanjam?

I agree with most here that there will be no changes for Game 3. But the reality is, Kapanen would be a significant upgrade to Simoneau.

Is RDS broadcasting the game?

It’s not showing in the guide?

Fowler probably starts but if you want to compete against Rochester you will need Primeau. Primeau knows that team, it's players. Rochester could be the most significant test Laval faces in these playoffs.

Simoneau is not a scorer but he is a vital s%^t disturber who should not sit. I would Roy and RHP before I sat Simoneau.

The Rocket have Cleveland on the ropes heading into this afternoon’s Game 3 of their North Division semifinal series... Laval is looking to close out the Monsters are winning twice in Cleveland, including a 4-0 win in Game 2 on Friday night... Jacob Fowler (2-0, 1.00, .956) made 20 saves for his first professional shutout, winning for the fourth time in five starts since joining the Rocket from Boston College last month... Jared Davidson (1-0-1), Lucas Condotta (1-0-1), Alex Barré-Boulet (1-2-3) and Gustav Lindström (1-0-1) scored for Laval in Game 2, and Laurent Dauphin (0-3-3) added two assists... Jet Greaves (2-2, 2.73, .901) made 25 saves in Game 2 for Cleveland... The Monsters won three games when facing elimination in last year’s conference finals against Hershey, forcing a Game 7 after trailing the series three games to none... Thirteen of Laval’s 18 skaters have recorded a point already in the series... The Rocket have outscored the Monsters 21-7 in six meetings this season, including three shutout wins... Cleveland is 8-1-0-0 in Canada this season, including a series-clinching victory at Toronto last weekend.

Agreed, Simoneau is not going anywhere.

He's on the 1st pk and he's solid defensively.

I guess Tuch will be scratch if Kapanen play. They could return to that previous line of Davidson-Xhekaj-Beck and that would leave Roy-Kapanen-Gignac. This would be a very balanced top12.

Farrell-Dauphin-ABB
Roy-Kapanen-Gignac
Davidson-Xhekaj-Beck
RHP-Condotta-Simoneau

I think an expendable vet like RHP could be the odd man out. Tuch with his size and speed is vital to this team's 4th line. A player that Hughes probably sees as a possible future Hab 4th liner isn't sitting. I could be wrong, it happens often.

Oh I agree with your statement I just feel that Vincent would go with his veterans. It's not like Tuch have been great since his injury but I like his physicality.

Selfishly hoping Cleveland takes this one so I can go see a game Tuesday when I'm in town

The teams that Laval will be facing, if they get past Cleveland, will be much more skilled. than the Monsters They will need all the speed and skill that they can get. At the first misstep, Kapanen will be inserted. Simoneau is, at best, a mini-pest. Laval will need better.
