Every goalie gets lit up once in a while, will be curious to see how he responds and maintains his confidence... or not. but the skaters must feel better for now seeing him play well, than an overworked Montembeault or starting Primeau.

Petey has $11.6m/yr +what needed in trade, but would look darn good in a Hab jersey. What would Oilers offer for Savard? Oilers Expected To Wait Until Deadline To Add Defenseman

Farrell, Mešár guide Rocket to another win over Canucks "Dauphin fed a puck to Logan Mailloux at the point, with Mailloux quickly sliding it along to Sean Farrell. The Rocket forward continued his strong run of play as he walked in and ripped a long-range wrister by Nikita Tolopilo to open the scoring."

6-2 win Abbotsford Canucks @ Laval Rocket Saturday, January 04, 2025 | TheAHL.com | The American Hockey League Mesar 1g 4shots Roy 1g 2shots

Entertaining game.

7 of 9 points so far on trip.

4 shots.

Koivu unlikely to even be NHLer is he, a top six forward not a chance (my take only). Beck/Kapanen may become 2nd line centre in 5+ years perhaps, or if all stars align; but, both were expected to top out a bottom six guy to begin with. So Dach or Hage it likely is, barring upgrade centre in trade.

Must of got it after scoring, havent heard exactly why. Just others questioning it as well. Xavier Simoneau of the Laval Rocket scores vs. the Abbotsford Canucks 1/3/25 still dont see what it was, or deemed he ran into goalie after scoring is the call, i guess? Cayden Primeau Returns - Stellar in Net/1st Star/Adam Engstrom (1A/5 PTs/6 GMs) - Highlights 1-3-25

0/6 on the PP, dont think have many PP goals in last while. https://www.habseyesontheprize.com/laval-rocket-abbotsford-canucks-2025-01-03-ahl-recap-score-highlights-cayden-primeau-shines-in-his-ahl-return-logan-mailloux-joshua-roy-owen-beck-laurent-dauphin-game-winner/ "Primeau looked sharp as he fought off wave after wave of shots on goal to keep the game level as the halfway point of the period approached." "The stagnant power play continued to be an issue as Primeau ended up making more saves than his opponent, including a pair in tight on Aatu Räty to keep the game scoreless." "...the Rocket’s top power play unit didn’t see much of the ice and the second unit, with a few changes, got most of the time." 1 blemish for Primeau and only goal against; "As Primeau tried to adjust to find the puck he accidentally steered it into the net, giving Abbotsford a tying goal out of nowhere." Take the win and run! Laval plays in rematch at 7pm today.

Not just Habs who play up to a rival or overlook a weak opponent is it? It is pretty normal for all teams in all sports isnt it? Pezzetta is basically back at training camp speed (and isnt a great player to begin with) and defense would be tough to play after sitting in pressbox for a few weeks; but boy did Struble's gaff leading to both early penalties set them back. Slafkovski just seemed horrible, Vegas hangover?

2-1 OT win Primeau 1st star of game OT 1:05 Laurent Dauphin (10) Alex Barré-Boulet (15), Adam Engström (14)

30 shots... in 2 periods! Matheson 7 shots Caufield 6 shots Heineman/Pezzetta 3 shots each

Hage 1g1a 7 shots in 4-3 loss Sam Harris 0pts 5 shots

Fewer penalties would help.

1-1 3rd period Primeau 23 shots Laval 0/4 on the PP, no good.

Tough start, but Caufield gets his 20th. Just 2:27 for Heineman. Matheson 1a 3 shots 11:01

0-0 early 2nd period Primeau 17 shots so far.

Hope they play smart and patient, let the shittier team make their own mistakes. Pez and Struble, good for them to get a game.
