Laval Rocket head coach Jean-François Houle put his two fingers close together, indicating how close Brandon Gignac was to being in the press box for the team’s final home game against the Toronto Marlies last Thursday.
Houle had called out his bottom two lines the night before, indicating that he was only happy with two lines and that the rest of the forwards needed to step up in the final two regular season games on their way to the team’s first playoff appearance.
“We had a conversation that those who didn’t play well would do well to show up, or we’ll make changes,” Houle said last week.
