It’s hard to argue with that, but the Laval Rocket had an excellent season with 101 points, putting the club in 1st place overall.

In addition to the Rocket’s record, it’s worth mentioning that six (!!!) of the club’s players finished the season with at least 20 goals.

This shows just how well-balanced the team is, and that’s important, especially in the playoffs.

What’s even more important is to have a hot-shooting goaltender in the moment, and Pascal Vincent’s troupe seems to have one in Cayden Primeau.

He hasn’t just been excellent lately, but all season long, with a goals-against average of 1.96 and a 0.927 save percentage.

Now that’s a star goalie.

But what’s even more impressive about Primeau’s season is his 21-2-2 record (.880).

This incredible record is the best single-season winning percentage for a goaltender in AHL history.

With a record like that, it’s no surprise that it’s going in the American Hockey League record books.

And the Rocket will need the Primeau of the regular season as the playoffs approach.

With all the players contributing offensively, guys like Florian Xhekaj and Xavier Simoneau who will be there to disrupt and shuffle, plus Primeau at his best, the chances of the Rocket going all the way are very good.

In fact, Primeau and Connor Hughes won the Holmes Trophy, awarded to the goaltending duo who allowed the fewest goals in the regular season.

Laval will also be able to count on Jacob Fowler to back up Primeau if needed, as Hughes is currently injured.

The latter suffered a lower-body injury during the April 6 game and will certainly miss the start of the playoffs.

And all this is without mentioning the excellent work of David Reinbacher, who provides stability on the blue line. What’s more, there’s still hope that Logan Mailoux can officially blossom during the spring dance.

His powerful shot and size will definitely help his club, but he’ll have to give it his all, as this season has been pretty tough for the young defenseman.

The Rocket has a real chance of winning the Calder Cup this season, and that would be excellent for the development of all the youngsters on the team.
