The Laval Rocket lost in the first round of the playoffs to the Utica Comets on Friday night. The players met with reporters on Saturday to give their end of the year review. Rafaël Harvey-Pinard, who spent the second half of the season with the Tricolore, saw his life change very quickly. Indeed, as soon as he emerged with the big club, the 24-year-old forward quickly became a crowd favorite. During his post-season review, RHP mentioned that it has become more complicated for him to buy groceries, as he must be getting a lot of requests for pictures and autographs since his recent performances. <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/VDemuy/status/1649832905558900736'> </a></blockquote></div> Known mainly for his intensity and hard work, the Quebecer also showed that he can be an important asset on Martin St-Louis' first two lines. One thing is certain, the impressive prowess of the forward has been the talk of the town, as he has found the back of the net 14 times in 34 games. Still without a contract for next season, Harvey-Pinard has made it clear that he wants to play in the NHL next year. Let's bet that the forward should not have to wait very long before signing a contract with the Habs. <q>I think I played my last game with the Rocket. Training camp will be important because it will be up to me to prove that I deserve to belong next year and be in the NHL full time.</q> Sources:<a href='https://www.lapresse.ca/sports/hockey/2023-04-22/bilan-de-fin-de-saison-du-rocket-de-laval/rafael-harvey-pinard-met-le-cap-sur-la-lnh.php?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>La Presse</a>
