    It was only a few months ago that Laval was playing a lot of high-scoring games.  We know Dobes has turned it around but where did the offence go?  All of a sudden, it's a minor miracle if they get 25 shots on net and lately, they are routinely getting outplayed and outchanced.  I'm happy that Dobes is stealing some wins but they need to figure out how to start putting up some goals and scoring chances again.

     

    Not having Roy and the slump Heineman is having has affected their offense. Yesterday, they hit a couple of posts and missed the net either on missed shots or deviations by the Senators Ds.

    Perreault seems to be doing better, generating a bit more offense, but Heineman is playing as bad as Armia or Anderson when they are not generating much for the Habs.

    Maillet, Andersson and Gignac are playing well but the Rocket is missing finishers

    I think Trudeau is another player who could have a decent career as a 7/6 defenceman.

     

    I thought Reinbacher played well, as witnessed by his time on the PK and playing regularly throughout the game, but have to admit he made a couple of gaffs ... what impressed me was his skating and how he recovered from the gaffs to neutralize them, or at least try to.

     

    Trudeau is too slow to be a 6/7 D. And he is not physical to play a shut down or even to box out opponents. When he is playing well in Laval, he is generating offense. IMHO he is an emergency call-up, depth D. At least from the games I've watched.

    I suspect that Farrel is a "quiet" / "smart" player who won't stand out if he makes it to the NHL but who could (if he makes it) have a decent career, but I don't expect him to become a Top 6 forward in the NHL (at least on a playoff/Cup contender) ... maybe a 3rd liner.

     

    I do not think he will make it to the NHL, he doesn't have a shot to be a winger and he does not have the the size to be a center. But his hands and vision makes him a fringe NHLer

    I just finished watching the game, they hung on for the win but it could have gone to the Sens if Dobes had not played so well.

    The play-by-play guys were praising Farrel's game, he did not stand out to me but maybe I do not appreciate his style that much. He had some flashes making some excellent passes, but he was quiet otherwise. Stephens played great on defensive assignments.

    Norlinder-Barron was not as disastrous as I thought it may be. They played well. Trudeau was obviously energized by the sell out crowd. He seems to be that type of players that raises to the bigger games. Paquestte-Bisson and Reinbacher were just amazing shutting down the other team whenever they were on the ice.

     

    Let's hope they continue playing well, and that they come into the playoffs on a hot streak

    1-0 after 2 periods.

    Perreault scores his 8th of the season and stops a long drought.

    Barron continues to play well (as per play-by-play guy). IMHO he looks more at ease on the ice and is not forcing plays anymore.

     

    The Rocket is taking too many unnecessary penalties, but Dobes has been strong

    This is good news for Habs fans.

    The Rockets's play by play is in french on AHL.tv but you may be able to listen to the TSN690 broadcast (if they are broadcasting) and get the video feed from the AHL.tv

    Well, as a Habs rookie, Roy was of course required to go through the mandatory 4-6 week injury. 

     

    Josh Anderson…even I gave up defending him months ago. He’s untradeable, so the best we can hope for is that he hits “reboot,” changes his summer regimen to ensure peak fitness, and gets his mojo back next season.

     

    that is what I wish for Josh too. When MB traded for him, many said that he had never been a top-6 and that he would not be a solution long-term. The contract was not a good move.

     

    He is the type of player than in the series, if he gets hot, he can be a back breaker; but he has never been consistent enough to get you into the playoffs

    I am so glad the season is almost over

    He improved all season?  He scored two goals last year.  Two.  In 58 games.  Yes, he had some assists and was okay most nights but, again, two goals.  When you're one of the highest-paid forwards on the team, it's hard to put improved and two goals in the same sentence.

     

    He was injury to start ths season, day-to-day with a wrist injury. Then Nov 15 to Dec 14 he was out with an upper boddy injury. He was hurt again from Jan 17 to Feb 10 and missed a couple of days mid-March.

     

    IN March, once he was healthy he improved, to the point when some on this board were commenting that maybe the Habs should offer him a PTO or a minimum salary contract. I made the point at that time that the organization and him were walk away at the end of his contract. I think I even posted comments from journalists saying something similar. I know there was chatter about it.

     

    I am happy for him in COL, I wish him well.

    Utica's a bit stronger on paper now with Schmid and Daws both down there, a byproduct of the Allen trade.  That one could be tougher than it might seem.

     

    I hope not, I am enjoying watching Laval's run and hoping that they make it through the play-in

    Drouin was a good soldier, when he was moved to center he said he was not comfortable there but that he would do it to help the team. I believe that is the season he got smacked in the wrists and played through that until he couldn't.

     

    He was not big or physical to power though face-offs. He was screwed then by coaching and screwed by management when he came back too early on a few occasions. It was only when Ducharme was hired that there was a concerted effort to do right by Drouin but that whole episode did not pan out not because of Drouin due to Ducharme's own struggles.

    Under MSL Drouin played well, he improved all season but it was already determined he would not be re-signed.

     

    I am surprised not more remember that.

    Laval hangs on for the big 3-2 win. :1banana:  They also became the first team to reach the 1,000 PIM mark this season.

    Thay have tied Belleville for the 5th spot but are only 3 points away from 3rd. A win today against TOR would solidify their playoff chances.

     

    Kaskisuo will play against his old team this afternoon, I hope he has a good game.
