New NHL season, and a fresh reminder

Kent Hughes locked up his entire first line, and top two defenders long term without a single contract topping 10 mil AAV

Honest to god he might be a fucking wizard

After a disappointing start to the season on Friday, the Laval Rocket came storming back to claim a 5-2 win on Sunday in Manitoba.

Joshua Roy buried two goals while Laurent Dauphin compiled three points in the win

My recap: www.habseyesontheprize.com/laval-manito...
Joshua Roy, Sean Farrell drive Laval Rocket to victory
The second game of the season found the Rocket looking more like themselves.

BOOOO GIVE THE QB HIS RECEIVING TUDDIE

Love has played well and made big plays all day, and LaFleur the second things get slightly tough, turns into the most conservative non-ball knowing coach ever

We're relying on a kicker who hasn't been in the NFL in almost three years

My brother in christ you have JOSH FUCKING JACOBS

I've never seen a coach as cowardly as Matt LaFleur in the fourth quarter with a lead

Xavier Simoneau hustles out an icing, and Joshua Roy puts the game away with an empty-netter

Rocket going to walk way with a 5-2 win!

Joe Flacco being chased by Micah Parsons is like one of those nature documentaries where the old gazelle is about to get merked by a lion

A second shorthanded goal for the Rocket!

Owen Beck tips in the Wyatt Wylie shot and it's 4-0 Laval!

Him being a nuisance around the net is still there, and in general him staying out of the box is a huge net positive for the Rocket overall.

I know everyone loved that Florian Xhekaj fought and hit everything that moved last year.

This year he's so much more composed, still finishing all his checks but his game feels far less chaotic from shift to shift

Sean Farrell takes advantage of a goal-mouth mess, and buries his first of the year!

Rocket leading 3-0 heading into the third period

(without absolutely zero confidence)

Go Pack Go

Might have to go back at the intermission, because I thought it looked real dumb on my first watch

Joshua Roy is wide open in the slot, Dauphin feeds him for the power play goal

2-0 Rocket!

What the actual hell was that from Tua?

Laurent Dauphin draws a penalty on the shorthanded break, then still tucks in the opening goal of the game.

Rocket up 1-0!

Ryan O'Rourke replaces Jacob Dion, while Marc Del Gazio moves up to the first pair with Adam Engström.

Kaapo Kähhkönen gets his first Rocket start...Puck drop coming up shortly in Manitoba

Again, I want to know what sandwich he was eating because it likely saved his life and I would also like to have this sandwich
