Alex Belzile still believes in the NHL

I’m of the opinion that he can certainly help out in a minimal role in case of injury: “a mini-cracker” is all Belzile wants.

And we know he’ll make the most of it 100% if he gets the chance to play for the big club.

Belzile became the seventh-oldest player in NHL history to score his first career goal, at 31 years and 165 days to be exact.

The Québécois has spent five great years in the lap of the Habs and is eager to continue:

“I’m very grateful for the first five years I spent here. Why not spend another five? – Alex Belzile

Belzile is definitely confident that he can finish his career in Quebec.

However, this contract with the Habs is not a “retirement plan”; he’s not here as an extra. He still wants to prove things:

“Some people might think I’m coming home at the end of my career, but I see it the other way around and I’m going to prove them wrong.” – Alex Belzile

Belzile will undoubtedly be a valuable asset to the Rocket. Last year, he had a career-best 56 points and his third 19-goal season in the AHL.

With the departures of players like Rafaël Harvey-Pinard and Alex Barré-Boulet, these holes had to be filled, and Belzile is a regular at Place Bell. He’ll bring a lot to the Laval Rocket.

Overtime

– There are certainly similarities in their game.

– Matheson is probably the Habs’ best bet for a second center.

– When you get mauled by a player who’s seven inches shorter…

– It’s off to a good start for Zharovsky.
