Laval Rocket: Syracuse at Laval Game 2 3PM

[HuGo Sham]

That's not far fetched but let's give Hughes more vetting.

ok, but it's not a hot take then

No he has quietly developed in Europe for 7 years...who knows how good he can be.

Big difference from last season's start with Dobes and Strauss Mann

Mann had his moments, wasn't bad.

Sorry but he was bad, that's why they signed Kaskisuo who calmed and helped Dobes
2-9-2 3.69
.879 save percentage

I think the team is more structured defensively and that helps a lot. The team kept breaking down defensively last year.

Better players all around

Dobes is a much better prospect!

It's very early, but it looks night and day right now, to me at least. Even the general effort level has been much better.

Yes

My apologies, meant to say Kaskisuo wasn't bad. Mann is now in Germany. Kaskisuo UFA

I actually liked Kaskisuo and was disappointed that he wasn't brought back.

He did have his YouTube followers!!!!!!

Yeah, it would be nice if Beck - Mesar & Tuch - Xhekaj both graduated as duos.

Just need to move on from Armia, Anderson, Dvorak and either Evans or Gallagher (if possible).

You won’t get 4 raw rookies arriving at the same time at NHL level

I think he decided to not stay in Laval. he was away from his family the whole season last year.

Vincent said the difference between coaching in the NHL vs AHL is that he will use the kids in those situations whereas in the NHL you go with your key guys.

Oh...
I thought Florian was our hey guy.

The level of nepotism during RDS intermissions is cringe with Leroux Sr. and Fiston interviewing each other.

Jr has the Evan Joanness (but meatier) circa the 1980 look. For those who know the local culture.

 

[Rapala]

He is fun to watch, ultra skilled.

I liked his puck management this afternoon far more than last night.
Good to see that intelligence in a very tight game.

Actually, Montreal told his agent they decided to go in a different direction (which was Connor Hughes).
(This video starting 8:04)


Montreal started talking to Hughes during the finals, which were in April.

It's been done before. Toronto brought up 8 or 9 rookies the year they drafted Matthews and made the playoffs. Montreal had 6 rookies the year they won the cup in 86, and a couple more players that were sophmores.
