GDT: Monsters @ Bulldogs - on TVA Sports

  • 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.

Chaput instead of Leblanc? Weird choice...

Give Lefebvre a mediocre veteran and he'll immediately give him more responsibilities than he deserves. Time and time again this has happened this year.

With that said, Leblanc is so snakebitten and unable to score right now, I don't blame him for not using him in the SO. I really hope that once Leblanc is not recalled for training camp, he'll take it as a major wake up call and realize he has a ton of work to do on his game. It's mind boggling that he could go from a 0.71 PPG in the AHL last year (on a team with big offensive problems) to...this.
 
Well Bulldogs played a good game but lacked the killer instinc in this one which isn't surprising from a team who struggles so much to score goals. I knew that Lake Erie was going to tie the game at the end after so many chances blown by the team to clear the puck out of the zone in that final minute. Dumont had an ok game but didn't do a whole lot. Beaulieu had a decent game, didn't get exposed defensively and had a couple good shots on net. Leblanc had a bad game, he had two BRUTAL giveaways on the PP and one that gave the other team a breakaway but thankfully he didn't capitalize on it. Gallagher had a much better night than yesterday but didn't really play differently, luckily both of his points came on similar plays (2 on 1) and he was able to make something out of both of these opportunities. And Langevin compared St. Denis to Gorges :shakehead
 
I'm definitely of two minds about Leblanc. He had some chances and made some nifty moves but I think he was better last year. Which makes me think/hope that his development is mirroring Patches.

Pacioretty looked solid in his first year as a pro, splitting almost in half his time with Hamilton and Montreal. Then his 2nd year he seemed to regress a bit and people started to write him off. Then his 3rd year he really took off.

There is a not so rational side of me that has the word 'bust' attaching itself to him. On the other hand the rational side is thinking he'll just need more time than a lot of us expected.

This is why I don't understand the management not signing good/great veterans over guys like Chaput, Blunden, Stortini, etc. It's not like they are solely living and dying by the prospects.
