some disappointment among the Laval Rocket veterans, feeling that some of the veterans that didn;t play may have done better than a few of the 10 rookies that played tonight.
my translation:" one could throw rocks (criticize) all we want to JF Houle and his assistants, but most of the decisions with regards to personnel wasn't theirs. I (Marcotte) never felt the players had stopped playing for JF Houle this year. He remains a coach appreciated by his players"
why? It's not an exhibition game. Many AHLers on the Rocket team are playing for contracts. If the Habs pushes to play the kids more than deserving Rocket veterans, I will be disappointed for them
Stephens, Maillet, Andersson, Cederqvist, Durandeau
I am sad for the kids, they deserved to continue playing.
I have posted it a few times over the season, I feel the Habs organization should have helped Laval better to allow them to compete in the playoffs.
