Laval Rocket: GDT: Rochester at Rocket 20 Nov 7 PM

[BJCOLLINS]

That bad call on the Farrell goal really hurt. Mailloux needs to watch the video of that OT turnover. But really The Americans controlled the play all game and it was close to comical watching them play keep away for 95% of OT.

 

[EveryDay]

Was waiting to see Owen Beck in OT...
I'm still waiting.

They prefer to use slow players like RHP and Roy instead of the best skater on the team outside of Gignac.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Yeah he's a 5th rounder and you see why, I mean even Arseneau is a better skater and gives more effort in most games.

It seems to me Roy has outraced players for the puck. Needs to make more of an effort.

 

[SlafySZN]

Maybe but Engstrom wasn't that good either.

He has only 15 AHL games coming from europe. Less experience but it’s easy to see he has higher IQ than Mailloux

 

[Treb]

I find it pretty funny how a couple weeks ago Roy and Mailloux were "too good for the AHL" and now people are pretty much calling them busts.

Also funny to trash on Perreault in his 2nd game back after missing the whole summer, training camp and the start of the season. Not that I think he's a good prospect, but he deserves a bit of slack.

Yes he has good hockey sense. Just needs to improve with the puck.

It's starting to piss me off Beck was one of the few players to generate anything.
They took the wrong guy off PP1 that is for f***ing sure.
The guy draws two penalties in quick succession and you don't give him a chance 5v3
WTF gotta use ABB and Roy who did nothing all game long.
Gignac played alone tonight.

[Tyson]

He’s in the right place for that.

And has the right coach too.

You are right! %

 

[Rapala]

Helenius looks really good for an 18 year old really really good.

Its such a plague on the site. Prospects at all levels across all organizations have warts. Evaluating young players on a shift to shift, game at a time basis, leads to erratic and mostly bad hot takes.

 

[Runner77]

You just know there had to be a Gerard Gallant angle to this.

I didn’t see the replay, but it appeared that he did the old “changing his mind mid-pass routine “ which never works. Unfortunately, he also lost his balance otherwise he probably would’ve caught the guy. I was pissed but those things do happen. No one ever said Mailloux was perfect defensively. It’s a shame it was the winner though.

Exactly why I’m fed up with the “we should call him up” posters. Leave them in Laval to develop as much as possible. I feel that if you don’t make it out of camp, you should probably spend the year down there.

 

[Rapala]

Good to know thanks! Hopefully he can help Laval or even Montréal. He's a good energy guy

Like a lot of players coming back after a long absence he looked great on what was probably huge adrenaline rush.
I'm not sure using him in OT was such a great idea given the circumstances.
Typically it's a good idea to wait for games two and three to see where the player is truly at.

Outside of injuries where you give someone the opportunity who has earned it in their play with the likelihood they'll return to the AHL afterward unless they force the hand so loudly during their NHL games.

 

[Rapala]

Trudeau is freakin impressive! What a beast!

That was his best effort since his knee got knocked on a few games back.

Too bad he will never get a legitimate shot

 

[1909]

Too bad he will never get a legitimate shot

Hopefully he’s gonna get a chance in MTL or in some other organisations.

 

[schwang26]

Honestly, if they’re serious about letting guys develop in Laval, I could see him getting a call up this year if there’s injuries. Or if they deal Savard.

He deserves a look...he is always steady

 

[Skip Bayless]

He needs to find another gear of desperation.

He is very streaky. Either hot or cold.

He does well defensively, but if he's not generating offense, his level of physicality doesn't compensate.

Yeah at this point he has alot to work on if he wants to play in the NHL.
