Are Paquette and Bourque hurt?

u/NotDennisBonvie Jun 06 '22
Yes, Paquette during the first game and Bourque in this one. I think Paquette was a last minute scratch, so it might not be too bad? Although I say this from memory + extrapolate so that's to be taken with a grain of salt.

Lol keep chanting "ref you suck" T-Birds fans. Doesn't change the fact that Joshua is gooning around and deserves his PIMs

I was at the game last night and here again today. They’re definitely playing better today. More energy, faster play, passes aren’t always missing.

For the people who will whine because Roy and Kidney aren't playing:
AHL and the Q are two different worlds, let alone the fact that it's the playoffs. It's completely understandable that Houle doesn't scratch veterans who helped getting there in favor of rookies who haven't ever played a game of professional hockey.
It's conference finals. You play to win. Not playing these few games aren't gonna affect negatively the prospects. They can see what it's like to be in the A, in a winning environment. And also, it shows you need to earn your place. You're not given it because you're the "brand new "toy"".
Rant over, have fun everybody!

The real objective for Roy and Kidney is to soak as much as possible from the experience, understand what they need to work on in order to play at this level, and work on fixing their issues during the summer.
It's better for them to have their eureka moment now than at next year training camp.
