Dec. 8/9, Marlies vs Rocket

If you haven't been paying attention lately, things haven't been going well in Laval the last few weeks.  The Rocket (10-9-6) are struggling offensively and still lead the league in goals allowed.  It won't get any easier the next couple of days as they play host to the league-leading Marlies (18-5-0) who are allowing less than two goals a game and have been off since Saturday.

Still scoreless in the 1st.  Laval just had a couple of power plays and got nothing going.  Then Broll (or as I like to think of him, Captain Useless) decided it was a good time to cross-check a Marlie on top of their goalie, just for something to do.  Needless to say, Toronto is heading to the PP.

Naturally, the Marlies scored seven seconds into that PP.

 

Laval responded shortly after that as Petti came down the wing and put a perfect shot past Sparks to tie it up.  There will now be a delay to pick up a whole lot of teddy bears off the ice.

Still 1-1, seven minutes into the 2nd.  That also represents the shot total so far in the middle stanza.

 

Pickard is now in net for the Marlies after Sparks was injured (I'm going to guess it happened on that stupid Broll play).

Laval is going with seven d-men for the rematch so Simon Bourque is in, replacing Captain Useless.  McNiven gets the start with Lindgren backing up which means Fucale hasn't dressed for the second straight game.  I'm a little surprised they recalled him to be the third stringer.

 

1-1 in the 2nd, Terry has the Laval goal from Cracknell and Leblanc.
