empty net with 1:35 to play 6-4 seals the season for the Rocket. very doubtful they make it now, after tonight's loss

young Xhekaj and Jankov (from trois-Rivieres) may have been better suited for today's game. The smallish Laval forwards are out-muscled

Laval is finally playing with some desperation, about 4 min to go... maybe too little too late

what a weird sequence, Dobes seems to be sliding on his right pad and unstable for a few seconds. then on a weak shot he gets beaten and although it went to video review the goal call stayed. 5-4 Monsters

Finally Heineman scores on a penalty on retaliation to a Paquette-Bisson body check 4-4

those fans singing crowd karaoke were more fun to watch than the game... tehn the Rocket scored 3-4 behind by one

4--2 Monsters, Laval could not score on a 5-on-3 to begin the 2nd. They were hemmed in in their territory often and eventually caved in under the pressure

2-0 good guys, I missed the goals. They seem to be playing well, but the Monsters do not have their best line-up due to recalls by CBJ

Game night:

Un lampion pour St-Patrick A "prayer candle" to St-Patrick

For those that were questioning Florian's pick in the draft, he is good enough to take Jakov Novak's spot in the lineup (3RV Lions best scorer)... not too shabby

no, it's the other one:

the curse, the curse !!!

I get one right! it must be the eclipse

only 4 regular season games for Laval. If they could stop taking so many penalties and also tighten their defensive play, they may win their share of these games. But the games on-hand from the other teams is going to make the difference

I wonder if they can call up Jakov Novak from Trois-Rivières. He is their top scorer, seems to be a shot first type of winger and to have size. I do not know about his skating. I may be a better option than Perreault or Durandeau, neither of which have helped generate offense

missed opportunities in the power plays. I didn't watch the 3rd period, but in the two first periods they were competing, and Dobes was giving them a chance to win.

I though they would have a better season this year, and if that progress had continued I had placed in the playoffs next year. So yes, I think they should be a bubble team next year. If they exorcise the injuries curse that hovers over their heads

isn’t that the Hab’s pick? Or did we get their Boston pick? I haven’t checked …

I am sure that with the innovation in knee re-build/care now Koivu would be as good at Suzuki is turning out to be. Long health and many ppg season to the captain.

LOL

that made my day Thanks, buddy!

you are both right. I am still ticked off though

I am just ticked off.... not a happy toasty potato at this moment

They are where they deserve to be in the standings. Kaskisuo was not good on that game, letting in two softies. I guess the Habs management is right to dismiss Laval as a development asset for their best prospects. NHL or bust, is the model !!! I am disappointed but not out of hope for their chances, this play-in race is the only thing keeping interested in the Habs right now.
