Laval Rocket: GDT: Laval at Rochester- North Division Finals GM1- 7:05 PM

[Schooner Goon]

Good win after a long layoff!

 

[Rapala]

Kinda sloppy but advantage Laval.
Can put a hurt on them by winning a cleaner game two.

 

[Runner77]

Laval wins game 1 and that is huge. Great play late by Condotta

That was part of the gamble they took and it’s paying off.

They’ve secured 2 games to be played in Laval (if needed).

 

[HuGo Burner Acc]

Not sure that happens.

I think someone said Fowler was getting game 2 already. And if he only allows 1 or gets a shutout, you better believe that he stays in

 

[Rapala]

LOL We just need to crap on every player early in the GDT next game for solid results.

 

[salbutera]

Time to ride Fowler..

Are you sure about that? We are talking about a goalie with a .953 sv% sitting in favour of one with an .880 sv% against the same team. Seems like the staff just doesn’t want to hurt someone’s feelings.

Most teams don’t get 21 pages for their NHL GDTs

Is Hellybuck Primeau’s idol? Regular season Wall post season Sieve

 

[Redux91]

Lol crazy
The 5th goal scored by
2021 2nd round pick
Assisted by
2021 1st round pick
2021 5th round pick

Laaaaast draft before HuGo
Let's see who makes it

Time to ride Fowler..

No it's not. Fowler would have allowed some of those same goals. Primeau won the game.

 

[Sam de Mtl]

Americans have so many relatively high pick (10-20ov) at forward on their AHL squad. Isak Rosen, Jiri Kulich, Konsta Helenius and Noah Ostlund in particular jump off.

In a way, it's a sad reminder of the fact the Sabres constantly have those high-ish picks because their rebuild never ends.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Not sure that happens.

For what it's worth, Marcotte and his color commentator in the pregame show on BPM Sports said they believe on Friday, it will be Fowler.

Reason is because Game 3 is next Wednesday in Laval. So they will try to keep both goalies warm and not allow one or the other get cold from inaction.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

No it's not. Fowler would have allowed some of those same goals. Primeau won the game.

If Fowler is scheduled to start the next game fine. Then you go back to Primeau for Game 3. And if Primeau has a weak game then you stick with Fowler after that.

I have faith in Fowler but folks need to lighten up on Primeau.

If they had to give a game to Primeau, it was definitely game 1. Don't want to make the switch halfway through a series. He got his opportunity. Unless Fowler really craps the bed which probably won't happen, Primeau wasted said opportunity. If Fowler wins game 2, I suspect they might go back to Primeau to give him one last chance but something's gotta give. They have to pick one by next round

You could've fooled me

 

[EveryDay]

Not sure that happens.

I'm confident that's the plan. He said both will play in Rochester if I remember correctly.

Yup that's my doing

Primeau will be playing for another org next season, he has no future w Habs org

I just don’t see how when one has just shown you two sub .900 games and is not part of your future.

 

[Tyson]

I don't disagree with you but if management decides that Primeau is their best chance then that's good enough for me. This team busted their asses to compete for a long playoff run and if Fowler ain't the guy right now then he sits.

 

[dackelljuneaubulis02]

Is Mailloux really looking better defensively?

 

[The Last Red]

I have faith in Fowler but folks need to lighten up on Primeau.

Why? He is mentally weak, the worst thing that a pro athlete can be.

 

[Andrei79]

Not sure that happens.

I hope it does. Even though he's younger, I'm so impressed by his calm, IQ and technical abilities. He's the goaltender of the future and he's winning. Unfortunately, investing in Primeau would just seem like a missed opportunity to develop a valuable piece going forward.
