William Shoukri and Patrik Bexell teams up to talk about Laval Rocket and the ‘Big Beautiful Brawl’ where Alex Belzile, Laurent Dauphin (whom we forgot while recording) and Joshua Roy received three games suspensions, but more importantly what has happened to Joshua Roy since his demotion from the Montreal Canadiens? He isn’t on the first line of the Rocket, is that Pascal Vincent’s fault or Joshua Roy’s? However, points aren’t coming at the pace fans, or Eyes on the Prize staff, expected.
The big section of the podcast is dedicated to the renaissance of David Reinbacher, after his compatriot Adam Engström was called up to the Canadiens, he has been the rock that other defenders hold onto in Laval. He is the foundation of the whole team, especially with Jacob Fowler being up in NHL as well. Over the last three games Reinbacher averaged over 25 minutes of ice time, if people are impressed with Konyushkov doing that in KHL, they should be even more so with Reinbacher as AHL is a much better league. Should Reinbacher shoot more, should he join the cycle more? Questions that are discussed in the podcast.
After the commercial break, William Shoukri brings out the intelligence of Sean Farrell, and once more the question arises where he will earn his pay down the line. There is no question that Farrell would suit the European teams’ need of high quality players. He would also make a good team into a contender by just coming over, with the Montreal top six set for the foreseeable future, is Europe the path forward for Farrell?
The podcast concludes with a look into Florian Xhekaj’s return to the Rocket.
