Mike Babcock attended the Rocket game in Laval yesterday

The Laval Rocket are off to an incredible start to the season under Pascal Vincent.
After eight games, the Laval team has a record of seven wins and one loss, good for 14 points.
The Rocket is sitting in first place in the North Division, and everything seems to be going perfectly for the club, which is putting on an exciting show for its fans at Place Bell.
Last night, the Rocket won 2-1 against the Providence Bruins at Place Bell thanks to a magnificent performance by goaltender Connor Hughes.
With only 14 shots on net, the Rocket was lucky to escape with both points in regulation time.
We have to believe that the support of the fans and a certain Mike Babcock (yes, yes) propelled the team to victory.
And no, he didn’t ask to check his cell

The former head coach of the Detroit Red Wings, Toronto Maple Leafs and Columbus Blue Jackets was in attendance at Place Bell last night.
He came to Quebec to see the team of Pascal Vincent, his former colleague with the Columbus Blue Jackets, with whom he spent the early part of the season before being fired.
One wonders whether the two men took the time to talk to each other.
Babcock will have seen a fine Rocket victory, while he must have enjoyed scouting for his own benefit.
It’s clear that the former coach eats hockey, even if he no longer has a job in the NHL.
In fact, one wonders if Babcock will be back at Place Bell this afternoon, when the Rocket are back in action against the same Providence Bruins.
If so, Babcock will once again be treated to a Rocket that’s not 100%.
Alex Barré-Boulet, Filip Mesar, Jakub Dobes, David Reinbacher and now Jared Davidson are all injured.
Davidson will miss this afternoon’s game.
Forward Jared Davidson (lower-body injury) will not play today. He will need further medical evaluation.

Let’s hope it’s nothing serious in his case, because he’s off to a great start this season with six points, including four goals, in eight games.
– Ouchhhh.

– Very cool.
No better start the finale of the 2024 #NHLGlobalSeries Finland presented by Fastenal than involving Finnish hockey legend Jari Kurri. A 5-time Stanley Cup winner and Hall of Famer, Kurri received the 2024 Börje Salming Courage Award earlier in the day. https://t.co/ebSH5m3ikT pic.twitter.com/5wdQknQCX0

– Indeed.
You could argue Armia one way or another but he’s anl convenient choice, and the wakeup call worked last year. They did it before…and they wouldn’t mind seeing him or Dvo claimed. You aren’t sending down Gally or Anderson.
