Laval Rocket Thread

Rocket vs Bellville (Sens farm team) on RDS2 right now.

Laval is down 1-0 and being outshot.

McNiven chased from the game after given up three goals. 4-0 baby Sens. Allen or nothing.

Pezzetta has 4 points in the first 2 games , call him up and stir the sh*t

Might as well give PizzaMullet a whirl. Can’t be worse than the hot mess we have now.

Or can it?

Yeah he seemed to be trying in camp.

Can't blame the opposition for trying to wake him up. Cause nobody else in the organization can.

McNiven saved 29 shots and got the 1st star in a 4-0 win. Maybe there is hope Habs can have a decent backup. Fairbrother got his first professional goal.

McNiven will never be a regular NHL goalie, starter or backup. Spot duty only would be his ceiling. Another Hutchinson.

Hutch has 137 games in the NHL , Mick may not see 137 minutes

5-0 Rocket win. 21 saves for the Primeau shutout. 2 assists each for Fairbrother and Ylonen.

Poehling came back from concussion injury and got two assists in a 4-3 Rocket loss.

Having a good string of 15GP is going to earn him a callup - I’m sure the org is hoping he can seize that 3C role so Paquette can sit in the press box

 

[wiseguy1]

A goal and an assist each for Poehling and Ylonen in a 6-5 overtime loss this afternoon.

My 9 year old is playing his first year of AAA and I'll probably spend around 15K this year. GTHL is very expensive, plus skill development, power skating, tournaments etc.

Luckily, my parents are helping out and my work threw in a sponsorship. Some good players went to AA because it's way cheaper from his team

This represents everything wrong with youth sport.

It's why the Ukraine is so bad at hockey.

 

[Habsy]

Yeah... that's why

As my younger son actually plays AAA hockey in the U.S. I can tell you guys that this notion (mostly from Sal) that most families here whose kids play AAA hockey are "wealthy" is not, on the whole, accurate. It might be the case where he lives - Fairfield County, Connecticut - but I've travelled enough with my son to see that it's not the case overall. Hockey parents tend to sacrifice a lot for their kids.

I've been doing about that amount per year for him for several years now. Here's my advice: get out while you can, it's an expensive road to nowhere . . . but it is fun. The real problem is that tier 2 hockey is just not comparable to tier 1 quality-wise, so if your kid is good enough to play tier 1 it's nor "fair" to have him/her play at the lower, less expensive level.
