Habsent Minded Extra: Laval Rocket clinch the playoffs!

Matt Garies / Arena du Rocket Inc.

Et le buuuuuut! And le but was indeed good. The Laval Rocket have made us proud, and gone from zeros to heroes in just a week’s time. After spending last Friday losing a must-win game against their playoff rivals from Cleveland, a playoff birth seemed to be nothing more than a dream for the Rocket.


But they clenched their fists, hung in there, and ended the season with four straight wins to ultimately leave both the Cleveland Monsters, and the Belleville Senators in their dust.

In the latest installment of Habsent Minded EXTRA, Matt Drake and Anton Rasegård convene to give you their highly anticipated impressions of Laval’s win against the Syracuse Crunch. Perhaps more importantly, we’ll discuss what this means going forward both for Laval and the young players in the Montreal Canadiens organization.

After a long and hard winter, we are finally witnessing spring in the Montréal area. How wonderful it feels to welcome it with playoff hockey in Laval! You can listen to this and every episode right here on the site via the links below, or tune in via your podcast player of choice.
