Finally watching the third period.

it is impressive how well they are playing despite not having Dauphin come back in the 3rd after getting a high stick on the face.

 

Farrel playing a strong game

[alfredoh2009]

That was a great goal by Florian, another GWG

Joshua Roy is back tonight versus Toronto.  That seems a bit earlier than expected.

[alfredoh2009]

Almost forgot there is a game

[alfredoh2009]

Arseneau badly hurt, hit his head on the ice when wrestling with Clifton Clifford

 

Vincent Arseneau vient de jeter les gants devant Kyle Clifford. On n’a rien vu du combat à savoir s’il a reçu un coup de poing ou s’il s’est frappé la tête sur la glace. Quoi qu’il en soit, le Madelinot semblait assez ébranlé en quittant vers le vestiaire.

pp with 8:23 min to go

 

[alfredoh2009]

11-0 shots in favour of Laval. Farrel scores with a nice wrist shot from the faceoff dot at the right of the goalie

 

1-0 laval

[alfredoh2009]

Marlies scores on their 1st shot with 2:18 min to go, a break away shorthanded

[alfredoh2009]

nice tip on their PP goal, Mesar!

2-1 Rocket

[alfredoh2009]

1st period finishes 2-1 Laval, 14-2 shots for the Rocket

[alfredoh2009]

Farrel-Dauphin-BarreBoulet

Roy-Condotta-HarveyPinard

Davidson-F.Xhekaj-Mesar

Arseneau-Kidney-Tuch

 

Wotherspoon-Lindstrom

Hoefenmayer-Engstrom

Hayes-Trudeau

 

Primeau

 

===========

So far, Kidney has been more noticeable than when he plays on the wing. Farrel is well sheltered by Dauphin. The D have been a wall in front of the Marlies, Toronto does not have their All-Stars back: they look tired?!

 

 

 

 

[alfredoh2009]

Arsenau is back for the 2nd. He makes a nice pass to Farrell who one times a goal with 16 min to go

 

3-1 good guys

[alfredoh2009]

16-5 shots for Laval with 13:27 in the 2nd.

 

What a bland game!

[alfredoh2009]

Toronto scores, the coverage on the offensive zone was not great, high on their zone. A quic pass forward to Tvrborg(?)  brought him almost alone from the right boards entering the zone. Hoefenmayer slid to cut the pass but too early, it was an easy play to come to the front of the net and score 3-2

[alfredoh2009]

Farrel alone on the goalie, nice pass by Florian: natural hat trick

 

4-2 Laval (18-8 shots)

[alfredoh2009]

Clifford came to bump Florian after an off side, and they drew penalties for shoving each other

 

Then Davidson started pushing Weber and they fought.

 

Not bland anymore

[Commandant]

Its not a natural hat trick if the other team scores in between. 

 

Farrell also scored 1 in the 1st and 2 in the second. 

 

 

[alfredoh2009]

Marlies have been flopping around for 6-8 minutes now. They finally draw a penalty (B4ssturds!)

[alfredoh2009]

4 minutes to go in the 2nd, games is a bit more animated

 

Farrell getting praises from the Marlies play-by-play (quick, trade bait)

[alfredoh2009]

great save by Primeau after Engstrom was very soft on his coverage

[alfredoh2009]

4-2 after 2 periods. I'll watch the end of the game later, I will be surprised if the y lose this one

Dauphin is the best forward this year imo. Deserves nhl time. 

[Commandant]

29 year old with 0.75 PPG in the AHL.... meh....

 

If after the next few games we are still in a playoff race, there is no room for him. 

 

If we fall out and make trades of vets and need callups, i'd rather see guys like Beck and Roy than a 29 year old journeyman.

He has played well, and is a good leader on the ice. I prefer Davidson's season more because it is easier for me to appreciate that type of player.

 

Why do you like his play in Laval?
