Laval had almost double the points that Utica has, but can't take this lightly.

Utica lost like their first 10-12 games and have since started to play .500 hockey. This team is much better than their record indicates.

after starting out 12-2 Laval is 10-11 in their last 21 games so they can't take anyone lightly. They have a serious goal scoring problem. Only 6 players have scored more then 5 goals. Roy and Davidson with 14 each and Dauphin with 11, Beck at 8 and Xhekaj/ABB with 7. So the only 2 players that have been able to score goals most nights (Dauphin as picked it up after a slow start)

Laval started 12-2, went on a 3-8 stretch and have now been 7-3 in the last 10.

For the goalscoring to be fair, apart from Rochester who have 11, the rest of the North are pretty close for scorers. Cleveland has 7 (17, 14, 9, 9, 7, 6), Toronto has 5 (19, 13, 9, 8, 6), Syracuse has 6 (11, 8, 8, 8, 7, 6), Belleville has 4 (13, 13, 8, 6) and Utica 4 (13, 10, 8, 7).

They do have to do better, but they should be playoff team either way at this point.

Will be interesting to see how the Habs do (if we stay in the WC) and if they decide to make some of Heineman, Hutson, Dobes and Xhekaj available for the AHL playoffs. That would had some serious firepower. Wouldn't be opposed to trading a guy like Kidney to a bottom AHL team for an older better AHLer.

Based on those starting lineups, it looks like Habs will continue to use Pezz for 4 minutes. So when the 4th line goes out there, if Pezz isn’t out there with them, who joins them to make a line? Different guys rotate? Same guy?

FloHockey f***ing sucks.

Or it's my xbox one.

Or both

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

PP Laval. Hopefully they can capitalize and even this up.

On Utica PP. Florian was off for tripping.

 

[TheBuriedHab]

Laval are all over them

 

[Rapala]

When will we get some new line combos?
I really don't see much "connectivity" on three of those four lines.

 

[Tyson]

Laval playing like crap

 

[Rapala]

Roy out with an injury...
Shoulder?

 

[Rapala]

Laval playing like crap

I can't believe how shit Beck is playing he's avoiding everything everywhere. I don't know what they want from him but he looks like he's not playing good offense and he's not playing good defense. Is he carrying an injury because he isn't winning any puck battles.

Flojak!!! 2-2

And how many posters were penciling him into the Habs lineup already? He’s really trailed off. I’m not too worried though.

 

[TheBuriedHab]

What a snipe by Beck! 3-2 Laval 5mins to go

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Mailloux, Xhekaj, Beck.

All have a goal and that's great to see.

Primeau has been solid.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Beck with his plus plus wrister for the late lead !

 

[Tyson]

Laval loves comeback hockey

Beck has responded to the current negative vibes on this thread!

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Gotta agree with the Comet play-by-play guy that was weak.
