Recalled/Assigned: Logan Mailloux recalled from Laval

[The Real Timo]

f*** it... I am getting wings for tomorrow's game. Last game. Hutson and LM.
Gotta go out with a bang.

Nobody, Barron's dogshit.

God is he ever.

Is Reinbacher the next call up?

Yes. Next season

 

[HuGort]

Makes good birthday, Mailloux turns 21 today

 

[habsfan891]

Well shit had no idea he'd be playing now I'll have to tape the game

 

[Habs4Life]

yeah bhoyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!

 

[Tuggy]

Well I gotta say, I didn't see that coming.

Good for him to get a game in.

 

[Rob Sense]

Nobody, Barron's dogshit.

Dont disparage my boy...Bustin Jarron!

 

[dcyhabs]

I even think Kovacevic is gone this summer. Reinbacher or Mailloux can take his place next year.

There were a bunch of games where no one showed up and Kovacevic was the only player playing defence. When the whole team plays he doesn’t look so good.

 

[jellybeans]

Laval still has a shot at the playoffs

He'll be back Laval plays their next game on friday

 

[beowulf]

Give the kid an NHL game as a reward for a great rookie AHL season?

 

[CristianoRonaldo]

Can't wait for the defensive clinic from the Hutson-Mailloux pairing. Please, do it.

 

[Tyson]

Logan wore #94 in preseason, I wonder if they give him #24 for his debut.

 

[WeThreeKings]

There will be 0 defense played tonight, let's f***ing go.

 

[beowulf]

There will be 0 defense played tonight, let's f***ing go.

Not much different than most of the season lol I think only 3 teams have given up more goals than the habs.

 

[le_sean]

There will be 0 defense played tonight, let's f***ing go.

Yeah but it’s a home game with Monty or Primeau. It just means a 45 save performance is coming.

 

[Tyson]

There will be 0 defense played tonight, let's f***ing go.

While Mailloux is not great defensively he has improved immensely since the beginning of the year. With that said he will be facing a determined Detroit team with an intensity he has never experienced.
Let's remember that he put up 47 points as a rookie who played less than 100 OHL games. His upside is the most intriguing of any Habs prospect.

 

[Adam Michaels]

My guess the D pairings tonight will be:

Matheson - Barron
Hutson - Savard
Harris - Mailloux

Possibly down the road:
Guhle - Barron (maybe someone else)
Hutson - Reinbacher
Xhekaj - Mailloux

Barron did play his best hockey of the season when he was paired with Guhle.

I love all of those pairings. For the future...if Barron/Struble/Harris/Engstrom don't grab that spot by the balls perhaps we take a swing at a UFA RD. I also think Rein and Mailloux could be top pairing RD in the long run, meaning Barron/Struble/Harris/Engstrom slot on bottom pair.

So much depth. Lots to play with.

Definitely. You can also place the guys you listed, Struble, Harris & Engstrom, they can also be put somewhere on there depending on who grabs the bull by the horns.

 

[FerrisRox]

We have the dumbest fanbase ever.

Now I see multiple people claiming that Justin Barron is terrible.

Are these the same hockey geniuses that claimed Jonathan Drouin would be out of the league?

Are these the same brilliant minds that declared Brendan Gallagher useless and no longer an NHL calibre player?

I don't know what's worse, the clueless hot takes are the complete lack of accountability when they are obviously wrong.

It's just the hyperbole. Once they lock in on hating a player, he can never do anything right and is the worst player ever. And yeah, it's almost a sickness to double down on your stance no matter what happens. It's disingenuous and of no value to productive analysis.

Drou is putting up 35% of the points of his linemate. If he played in Arizona he would be out of the league.

Although I feel you're a little over the top with the insult, I agree with you that Barron has not been terrible. Reading this thread, I wondered if I watched the same games as some of the other posters.

 

[schwang26]

I’m glad this won’t affect Laval as he’ll be back down by the weekend. Unless he gets hurt of course which would be par for the course.

There are quite a number of terrible posters here with terrible takes. You gotta sift through a lot of crap to find quality analysis for sure.

Well deserved and happy bday Logan
