GDT Rocket at Belleville 23 Nov 7 PM

  • We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.

    What This Means for You:

    • If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
    • If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
    • Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
    • Our 2025 light and dark themes were lost, so we are rebuilding them. Light theme is currently available, but work in progress

    Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

    In the meantime, feel free to join our Discord Server
Stupid Belleville scored to make it 3-1.

How is Perreault on the pp ? You go from the ECHL to the PP in the next league up. How ??
 
I see they still haven’t figured out the clock

Why are they taking dumb penalties with 10 minutes left? Come on boys.

Seeing him at camp, I had a feeling Davidson would be the next Evans type late rounder to end up a bottom 6er for Habs.

Davidson is a much different type of player than Evans.

While Evans is a defensive-first type of player who relies on above average skating to neutralize opponents and be effective on the penalty kill, Davidson’s game lives and dies on his offensive production. Davidson, who lacks Evans’ level of skating ability, plays a much heavier game and has an excellent shot that makes him a threat to score from anywhere in the offensive zone.

In his short tenure in Laval, Davidson’s unexpected level of play and production has presented Hughes with a numbers problem: with so many promising forwards on the cusp of making the team, is there room for Davidson? I would suggest that if Davidson offensive production continues it will be very difficult for Hughes to not include Davidson in his long term plans, particularly with the leadership traits and physicality that Davidson exudes.

Simoneau is simply entertaining to watch.

Why is it we are always blessed with players who have the heart of a lion and measure 5 foot nothing. :ha:
Looking at our 6'2'' plus guys in the top six (Habs) who lack the killer instinct gets me down for some reason.

I almost want to relegate them to a fourth line tell them to forget about finesse and to go out and learn how to take and use their bodies

If memory serves, Evans was a pretty average skater in the NCAA. He didn’t really acquire his speed until his 2nd or 3rd year with the Habs I think

Your memory is correct, Evans was a below average skater who somehow made it a strength as he got older. Hats off to him for working to improve his skating to a point where he is now considered a terrific skater.

Yeah like his was a very rare case. Such a dramatic improvement so relatively long after being drafted. It was pretty crazy

That was one of biggest knocks against Evans coming out of his draft year (2014) and why he fell to the seventh round. But Evans is one of those rare cases where a player was able to turn his deficit in skating to a positive. While no one is calling Davidson another Jack Hughes, he has enough skating, offensive vision, shooting skill, drive and grit to be a viable replacement for Gallagher in a year or two. What more can one expect?

Davidson-Beck-Roy could be a good two-way line down the road.
