Joshua Roy Press Conference June 1

Montreal Canadiens 2021 fifth-round pick Joshua Roy speaks to the media about joining Laval Rocket for the remainder of the AHL playoffs.

Optimus Prime(au)’s Heroics Fuelling the Rocket

It looks like we are witnessing Cayden Primeau’s pro Coming Out Party. The Laval Rocket took a 2-0 series lead Monday night when they defeated the Rochester Americans 3-1 at Place Bell. Primeau was once again lights out, stopping 31 of 32 shots while looking cool, calm and collected in his net from start to […]

Improbable Comeback Sends Rocket to Round 2

The Laval Rocket battled back from a 2-0 deficit to eliminate the Syracuse Crunch in a 3-2 overtime thriller Tuesday night, punching their ticket to the North Division Finals. Laval won because of their never-say-die attitude, which was evident from their play leading up to the game-tying goal. Cayden Primeau came up big when his […]

For most of the season, the team was a rudderless ship adrift in a sea of apathy. Players simply went through the motions, others striving to give their best, but their efforts […]

Who Should the Habs Keep?

The Canadiens have made it known that they will be sellers over the next four weeks leading up to the NHL trade deadline. It already started with the dealing of Tyler Toffoli, and unless Ben Chiarot does the improbable and signs an extension over the next three weeks, he is the next to go. Here […]
