Laval wins in the SO

Nice!

That's 8 wins 2 losses in their last 10!

 

[domiwroze]

Noice.

Laval crawling back to a .500pct. It all started from Xhakej's arrival.

 

[HomaridII]

laval wins, they're on a fkn roll.

four wins in a row now for Laval. I believe they just tied the marlies in the standings.

 

[schwang26]

Just saw the first Gingac goal. Wow! Between the legs

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Utica played a much better game, but KK was up to the task in net & Laval was opportunistic.

They got the 2 pts they needed.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Laval ties Marlies at 31 pts for the 5th and final playoff spot, but Toronto has a game in hand so they stay ahead. They're also playing now (tied 2-2 after 2 vs. Crunch).

They are 3 pts behind Rochester, who sit 4th with a game in hand. And Belleville just won, so Laval is 5 pts behind them and 3rd place. Sens have a game in hand, as well.

Laval also moves 5 pts ahead of Utica. But Utica still has 3 games in hand. They play again in Laval on Wednesday.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Nice!

Yup. And they have points in 9 of their last 11.

In their 11 last games, they picked up 17 out of a possible 22 pts. They've been playing .772 hockey since December 8th.

Houle said they would struggle early with all the young players

 

[Adam Michaels]

If Laval beats Utica again on Wednesday in regulation, they will move 7 pts ahead of them, in which case, even if Utica wins their 3 games in hand, they will still remain behind Laval.

If Laval beats them in OT/SO, Rocket will more 6 pts ahead of them.

I'll give Maillet credit, he's been producing. But I really wish Laval would have kept Richard and Belzile particularly instead of signing Maillet and Andersson.

And I wish they would have kept Abbandonato and Dube. But I understand in Dube's case, they weren't willing to offer an NHL contract, let alone a 2-year deal the way Caps did.

With the influx of young guys, I think it would have been wiser to ensure to hold onto guys who knew what it was like to be a pro here and understand the Laval Rocket culture instead of not only bringing in all the young rookies, but also bringing in new vets who don't know what the system is.

You see the benefit of having someone like Gignac here. Imagive still have two or three of Richard, Belzile, Abbandonato, and Dube still here.

Farrell Assist - 0:19
Mailloux Goal - 5:52
Davidson Goal - 9:17
One too Many Passes - 3:40

check out the steal from Roy at 3:40 and had they pulled it off what have been a highlight reel goal

They need to open the throttle, go flat out, put the pedal to the metal, not look back,

 

[montreal]

big road win as Laval is indeed on a roll.

Mailloux with 18 pts in the last 24 games
Xhekaj with 10 pts in the last 11 games
Davidson 3 goals in the last 5 games

Agreed

Jesus ... I didn't realize Mailloux streak went that far back, I thought it was due to pairing with Arber.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Farrell, Bourque, and Keeper didn't finish the game. We'll see if any of them are good to go for Wednesday. Or if they'll be out.

In Keeper's case, they still have Galipeau and Beaudin as options to replace him.

At forward, they'll surely call up guys like Yaremko and Novak most likely.

 

[montreal]

Norlinder with one of his better games, would have been sweet if he pulled off that end to end rush at 4:30 of my vid.

 

[Don D]

Kaskisuo won this for us.

Amazing that he was not one of the three stars. Gignac with the first star, the other two went to Utica players! Home bias?

Bring in Florian from the OHL

 

[HuGo Sham]

I like Farrell but like RHP, i'm not sure these guys can stay healthy long-term
