They say hockey is a game of bounces at times, and for the Laval Rocket (9-6-2), too many bounces led to a lopsided 5-2 loss against the Milwaukee Admirals (10-3-3) on Friday night at Place Bell.
That isn’t to say that the Rocket played great, or that the Admirals didn’t play well — both of those things aren’t true. It’s just that the mistakes turned into goals against for the Rocket.
“Honestly we just made big mistakes,” said Rocket head coach Joël Bouchard said. “We had a lot of gaffes, it’s probably the game where we made the most gaffes and it cost us because they’re a good team.
