should be an easy 2 points.
Head scratching move to once again start Leclerc. They won't be happy until he burns out or gets hurt...

4 shorties in a game a team record? What’s the league record for short handed goals in a game?

Veteran Captain makes 38,365th post after Bathurst game.Probably 38,360 of these were negative in regards to the Cats.One really has to wonder what that is all about. No comments from the Cap after Saturday,s team effort against a more talented Halifax team. Seems if there is nothing negative to say, then just stay quiet.

It's just reality, there is no justification. Why are you so defensive? Simple question...If you trust the kid to start against Rimouski and he wins, why don't you trust him against SJ or Bathurst? |

It is a head scratcher for sure ... and where the team is not saying anything publically, it does lead to speculation. They would have looked really stupid yesterday if Leclerc would have got injured in the third period of a blow out game against Bathurst. |

I would say that he/she is not being defensive, just questioning your character. Which does seem to be pretty shitty with how negative it is just as novycatsfan pointed out. Definitely wouldn't ever want the likes of your negativity in any organization or dressing room with attitude like that It is a valid question as to why they aren't starting Lavallee. But also nobody truly knows the full story so why do you keep beating the dead horse and bringing it up in every single thread? |

Gotta go with your best goalie this close to playoffs and trying to get the team back on track. I also would like to see lavelle get more games but it’s to late in the season to worry about that right now , torchetti has to Instill his systems before playoffs , time to worry about lavalle next season . I’m sure torchetti sat down with lavelle and told him about his plan. This team will pretty much be intact next season and Leclerc will have moved on.

I have been following the WC since year 1...The Alpines...I want to see a team that competes for championship, not one just trying to get 2 home playoff dates every year. Hard to be positive when you see one of the biggest markets in the Q being run like a 2nd rate franchise. ass backwards. |

If you play we'll against weak teams it should make no difference who is in nets. 4-if you rise your starter now he might A-get hurt in a meaningless game or B-burn our and struggle at playoff time. 5-they are not winning any championships this year, so developing your 16 year old goalie should be one of your objectives. Had they played him more maybe he could be a #1 next year. 6-by not playing highly drafted kids you just drafted(Lavallee Crossman Bellamy etc) you make Moncton a destination agents and parents don't want to send their kids. |

So much for not beating this dead horse. Cap-You have got to get your resume updated and get it in. With your unending knowledge of the Cats and all things Hockey, you are a shoo in for the next Coach-General Manager of the Wildcats or any other team you want.Oops Iforgot what Riverview Royal said----nobody would be interested in that negative attitude. Oh well, just keep ranting.

To add to all these points:
1 - I agree they probably could have used him more since mid season. 2 - I think they are rolling with the better goalie and have wanted to give themselves the best chance to win. They've decided to manage their goalie situation in a certain way. Clearly their have been discussions had on the situation in house to how they were going to manage Lavallee. 3 - The weak teams are capable of beating good teams. No game is a given. 4 - You could argue that Leclerc could have the opposite effect. He has played a ton down the stretch and all that playing time could make him sharp for playoffs. Gerard Gallant has played Fleury a ton this year and its had a positive effect on the team. If a 20 YO kid Leclerc is getting "burned out" then that's a conditioning issue at this level. He appears to be handling the minutes fine. 5 - I can't see an extra 6-10 games played for Lavallee being the difference between being able to start next season. There just isn't that significant of development occurring in those 6-10 games. You have to consider that Lavallee is also practicing/training a significant amount each week. When you look at everything that is going into his development, Is the extra 6-10 games that significant? Da Silva played a bunch for SJ earlier in the year. How did that help his development? 6 - If playing time was an issue for Lavallee, I think they would have him playing in Midget. They must see a benefit to having him there versus midget. With the 20 YO goalie rule change it is only going to make 16 and 17 year olds starting even more rare.
Captain O is a very knowledgeable poster, but he has a bias against his own team. Most poster's are biased the other way around.

Oh well, just keep ranting. I'm just stating the facts, and a lot of the fans at the games agree, the team is run very short sighted and not looking to win championships. For the Wildcats, "winning" is getting 2-3 home playoff dates. |

Bathurst has one win in the last 3 months, if you don't trust your team enough to start a 16 year old in nets, then you have a shitty team to begin with. DaSilva is not the same situation at all, 1st he plays on a shitty team and they can't afford to play a young goalie. 2-the games he did play he got shelled, more of that won't help. 3-he is 17 and was not Q level this year, they likely go with Boutilier next year and draft a "goalie of the future". Lavallee is 16, and supposed to be the Cats "GOF", at 16 he needs to play to develop. Plus the cats don't give up 50 shots a game like SJ or Bathurst, definitely not when playing those guys. There is some development that happens in practice, but there is a big chunk that needs to happen in game situations. Having a 16 year old goalie not play at 16 is worst case scenario, one of the biggest years in a player's career. Either needs reps in the Q or play in MAAA. I'm not biased against the Cats, I just think they can be a lot better than a bottom feeding franchise that is happy just making the playoffs with maybe an upset despite being one of the 3-4 big markets...then they have the gall to talk about London in the paper...what a crock of BS. |
