Roger...my French is so so and I only understood bits and pieces. I was born in Quebec, left there over 50 years ago and while I still speak it...I have obviously forgotten some.
I was in Quebec a few years ago and some French person said to me...you are the only French speaking person I ever heard that has a southern accent...damn 😁

So would that be similar sounding to New Orleans French perhaps?

People giving up on him are stupid.

It will never be an oil painting in his own end but if he can just be average in his own end, his offensive tools, particularly his shot, are going to be a boon to the team.

Vincent has done a very good job with him. Think back on how many offensive opportunities he wasn't getting during a certain portion of this season. The message was clear clean up your focus before we give you more ice. I haven't seen players getting behind him unnoticed which was a big problem. He's always been physical and he's killing plenty of plays while coming up with a fair number of pucks in this series.
He's looked more comfortable than Reinbacher in recent games.

Which makes sense, Mailloux has played all year. Reinbacher doesn't have a ton of games under his belt this year and then the intensity goes up in the playoffs, though I liked his first period other than getting too cute at the line one time.

M quarterbacks the puck very fast on PP and his canon gets through. FAR better then Math. Probanly around 100mph.

He MUST KISS and stop trying to be everywhere. He tried to hit a player on opposite wall which he MUST stop trying to do.

As a defenseman, right now M offense is second to Hutson and his defense is 6-7 defenseman level. If he can improve that, which is doable, he's top 4.

Guys like Byfuglien and Brent Burns started off their careers as forwards. You wonder if Mailloux might benefit from doing that...

We could use his big body and shot up front. May be a good goal scorer and bring grit and physicality to the forward group, like Buff did when he won a cup in Chicago as a forward. Byfuglien had 11 goals and 16 points in 22 playoff games for Chicago that year they won the cup.

Mailloux and Xhekaj were a real good pair when Arber was sent to Laval last year.

Also, although he needs to improve his overall play at the NHL level, he still put up 4 pts (2G, 2A) in 7 NHL games earlier this ear. He also had 1 assist in 1 game last year. So he's got 5 pts (2G, 3A) in 8 NHL games.

Xhekaj and Mailloux will be a physical pairing and Mailloux will rack up the points with Hutson and Demidov.
