DON Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 Mailloux, Norlinder, Roy, Kidney, Trudeau all promising ones to check out though. RDS is showing game And AHLTV has a free weekend promotion 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DON Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 might be the lines today Heineman - Maillet - Roy Farrell - Stephens - Armia Simoneau - Kidney - Andersson Condotta - Gignac - Bourque Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DON Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 Armia scores less than 3 minutes into game, early 1-0. 2:50 Joel Armia (1) Mitchell Stephens (1), Sean Farrell (1) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomh009 Posted October 13, 2023 Author Share Posted October 13, 2023 Free streaming ... but the video quality really isn't very good. There is enough resolution but contrast is poor (maybe the lighting is not good enough), making it even harder than usual to read the numbers on the back of the Rocket home sweaters (the stripe significantly obscures the numbers). I guess beggars can't be choosers, though! 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems somewhat better now ... unless I'm just getting used to it. I could even tell it was Roy scoring the second Rocker goal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DON Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 2-1 11:23 Joshua Roy (1) Emil Heineman (1), Philippe Maillet (1) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DON Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 They noted, Mailloux with sweet pass to Kidney. Norlinder poor shot into shinpads & turnover led to 2nd Canuck goal. PBP guy talking up Roys play in the 1st. Gignac 3 shots 2-2 end of 1st. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GHT120 Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 Young talent can be exciting ... but they also tend to make the mistakes of youth ... down 4-2 about 4 minutes left in 2nd EDIT: 5-2 with 3:27 left Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DON Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 Dobes pulled after 5 goals. 5-2 end 2nd. Struble +1 3shots after 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DON Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 Mailloux gets 1st pro fight out of the way. Down 6-3 now. Mailloux forces puck over glass penalty 7 minutes left in 3rd, he seems to have played an 'active' game. Pulled goalie with a PP with over 7 minutes left in game. & rocket score; Joel Armia (2) Joshua Roy (1), Mattias Norlinder (1) (PP) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DON Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 I didnt see the game but sounded like the big kid played very well and stood out. https://www.tvasports.ca/2023/10/13/logan-mailloux-a-laisse-sa-marque "Logan Mailloux was probably the most effective defenseman on the roster. The towering defenseman brought to the AHL the gritty style of play that allowed him to dominate his junior rivals. He made his presence felt physically and didn't hesitate for a second to defend his partner Mattias Norlinder by throwing down the gloves when the Swede was hit hard along the boards in the third period." ...and sounded like Norlinder/Trudeau fumbled half-dozen chances and had a few miscues. But Struble had a solid game. (Struble-Mailloux seems like a interesting pairing they could try.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GHT120 Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 Armia got two goals but outside the end of the game when the Rocket had their goalie pulled I honestly do not recall hearing his name "called" much (I was simul-viewing the BC-Hamilton CFL game) ... other than the two goals it seemed very familiar.

That's why I think he eventually quartebacks the Habs power play as his passing skills and shot are high level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They (homers?) gave Armia 2nd star (Roy 3rd star) in 7-4 loss, so my guess is 2g stood out enough. Gignac with 1g 6 shots seemed best Rocket to me.

tomh009 Posted October 14, 2023 Author Share Posted October 14, 2023 4-3 loss in spite of outshooting Abbotsford 44-25. Ten shots by Roy and eight by Armia. Mann had the start today as Dobes played most of last night's game, 21 saves on 25 shots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
