Laval Rocket: GDT: Game FOUR- Rochester at Laval 7PM EST

[overlords]

playing mr brightside at this point of the game sure is a choice

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

That L is on the coach

Or whoever is responsible for rotating the goalies.

Or whoever is responsible for rotating the goalies.

That's a good point.

[Nevins]

Rochester was ready, the Rockets weren't. First Primeau should have been in net, Rocket’s players were too aggressive and took stupid penalties. Maybe they thought it was going to be an easy game...

 

[Rapala]

So you have the 2026-27 blue line, tentatively as:

Hutson - Reinbacher
Guhle - Engstrom
Xhekaj/Struble - Carrier ?

Possibly.
I"m not sure how long or how far we will go with the Struble/Xhekaj placements.
I also think Xhekaj will eventually win the role and Mailloux is still in the mix for 26/27.

They ought to have a couple of bald bearded fans dressed as Vincent and his assistant coach, sitting right behind the glass of the Rocket’s bench.

 

[Tyson]

Possibly.

I am not convinced Struble is a Hab beyond this summer.

Dunne is taking over this series. On our home ice Condotta is the center we should be matching up against him.

Dunne also had a good playoff last year with the Cleveland Monsters. It would be nice to see veterans Condotta, ABB or Dauphin have a breakout game like Dunne tonight (2 goal, 2 assists).

 

[Mrb1p]

Gustav Forsling is his ceiling. Elite skaters like this are rare. GM's will want him included in a package for that elusive 2nd line center.

Gustav Forsling is a physical freak.

Engstrom is a lil leaf in the wind.

 

[Rapala]

Gignac is missing a gear and it kills his value IMO. We miss Simoneau terribly in this type of series.

Laval L
3R L
Rimouski just tied it lfg

 

[domiwroze]

Refs are such clowns lmao Taking half the team out for no reasons and calling every dives.

What a one sided affair tonight. Frustrating watch

 

[Don D]

I am not convinced Struble is a Hab beyond this summer.

I like Struble and think he should be kept, unless Habs get a good return in a multi player trade.

This game was over when it became 1-0.
Laval collapsed tonight and not sure they win on Sunday.

Very dime a dozen player. Habs can do better. Engstrom will pass him sooner rather than later.

 

[overlords]

not sure about some of these offsides tbh

 

[Whitesnake]

Losing Wotherspoon also f***ed up the entire d squad.....And again, seeing how important he is....they have to sign him.

 

[Runner77]

Lots of facial exfoliations going on.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

What does Engstrom do better?

 

[domiwroze]

Refs are calling this like a Peewee game jesus christ let the boys play for f*** sakes

 

[austin316]

Fowler sure seems to struggle with long distance point shots. Looks small in the net

 

[Tyson]

What does Engstrom do better?

Elite skater who will only get better. A much better puck mover. Struble does nothing exceptional but he is adequate. Habs have to do better.

 

[Schooner Goon]

Losing Wotherspoon also f***ed up the entire d squad.....And again, seeing how important he is....they have to sign him.

Big time! Missing Wotherspoon is a killer. Is he out for the series?

 

[Whitesnake]

What's dissapointing is that you have a lot of guys that has seen NHL icetime.....and are just passengers.
