Despite a lopsided score in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Final, the Laval Rocket are a game away from potentially evening up the series against the Springfield Thunderbirds.
The expression ‘what could go wrong did go wrong’ is more or less apt for the loss on Wednesday night at another sold-out Place Bell. That isn’t to say the Rocket’s issues weren’t all of their own doing, as there are a lot of aspects to clean up.
I noted the trouble that Springfield was causing in the Laval defensive zone in the cycle game, and it was not something that was lost on Rocket head coach Jean-François Houle.
