This is the 3rd game in a row vs Utica so I wonder if things will be a bit testy tonight. Xhekaj with 11 pims in the last 4 games so I wonder if he will be thinking about that as it's been said he was sent down in part due to taking too many penalties so will be interesting to see if that effects his game if of course it gets a bit physical.

Xhekaj just has to manage his PIM according to the game situation. I'd actually be worried if he was taking no penalties. Saving a clear cut opportunity no problem. Taking two minutes for punishing someone no problem. Taking dumb hooking holding or tripping penalties big problem. It also goes without saying there are certain situations you can't take penalties like when you are closing out periods and or games.

soon to be The Lions vs Utica, the way the injuries are going. I don’t know how they’ll maintain momentum losing that many forwards for so long. Sure, Heinemann probably goes down at some point, but I don’t see Stephens going back down. If the Habs move Monahan and Pearson, they may end up calling Heinemann back up. It’s just crappy, because Laval definitely has a shot at playoffs and once again, are getting screwed with injuries and call ups.
I really don’t know how certain AHL teams always seem to be at the top year after year.

They are an AHL roster and not a development roster. That's usually it.

Watching this game more than the Habs game. Marcotte is entertaining and I enjoy listening to games in French.

Marcotte is fantastic, I agree. I'm counting down the days until he's doing the Habs PBP on RDS.

Yeah Houde is starting to have “senior moments” on air from time to time… still a great descriptor but it’s the beginning of the end.

Just to specify, this game is on RDS.ca.

RDS will have Habs game. RDS2 will have PWHL Montreal.

No pressure kids!

The lineup is getting pretty thin again with the recent injuries, lots of pressure on the top two lines to produce. The powerplay hasnt been helping a lot for a while either.

Horrible shift by Xhekaj

But wasn't it Norlinder who passed the puck right to the Utica player for the goal.

4-4 another point for Roy.

Roy is auditioning for a game or two later this season
