I wouldn’t blame you for missing any news related to the Laval Rocket over the past week or so. You know, what with the Montreal Canadiens playoff run and all.

Regardless, life on the farm has been quite busy for the Habs whilst they prepare for their semifinals series against the Vegas Golden Knights, which kicks off on Monday. Needless to say, Montreal is once again the underdog in this series, with Vegas having made Expansion Team history by making the final four in three of their first four seasons. However, the Canadiens should have their fair share of supporters following what has been a magical playoff run thus far.

In that same sense, the Laval Rocket pleasantly surprised many this season with a 23-9-3 record and the Canadian Division title. Ryan Poehling showcased his previously unseen offensive potential with team-leading 11-14-25 totals over 28 games. Undrafted picks like Joel Teasdale and Raphael Harvey-Pinard stepped up in big ways, and even AHL contracted players, like Yannick Veilleux, proved near invaluable by elevating their respective games tremendously. So yeah, there’s quite a lot to be excited about regarding the Canadiens’ affiliates’ future, and with that being said, here’s a recap of what has been a busy past couple of weeks for Montreal’s AHL affiliates.
