The Laval Rocket left the friendly confines of Place Bell to head on the road in the midst of what was their biggest challenge of the season so far, without Joshua Roy, Alex Belzile, and Laurent Dauphin, who were suspended for Thursday’s game and the rematch on Saturday as well. That meant the top line featured Florian Xhekaj as the centre, flanked by Sammy Blais and Sean Farrell.
On defence it was David Reinbacher and Tobie Bisson on the first pairing, with William Trudeau and Josiah Did...

The cracks were bound to appear at some point. When a team is ravaged by injuries to the extent that the Tampa Bay Lightning have been, the magic wears off eventually. It’s usually nothing drastic, but small little fissures that appear and keep a team from winning. From an overall perspective, the Lightning played fairly well in their 2-1 loss to the Los Angeles Kings on Thursday night, but one moment, one little error in judgement, led to the game-deciding goal.
The Bolts had the lead ea...

The head coach called his club’s patently poor effort against Chicago a “character win” after the Maple Leafs pulled a rabbit out of their hat late in the third period on Tuesday. If that’s the standard for a “character” effort, perhaps it’s little surprise that the Leafs were out-worked and out-played in every facet of […]
