Just got back from the game.
Houle is not the problem .
Team collectively played like turds; no better word.
Hot takes from tonight:
Mailloux is looking good when he's in the opposing zone, but geez he looks terrible in his own zone. Completely lost and a a bag full of brain farts.
The kid needs a ton of mileage before becoming a NHL'er.
Roy is something else; brightest guy on the Rockets roster by a country mile.
Play this kid with talented teammates and he'll burn the league.
Once he gets his chance in the NHL, he'll put up points, zero doubts.
Kidney, Mysak, Farrell = completely ineffective/invisible. Can't imagine any of these diminutive kids making an impact at the higher level, if they ever make it to the NHL.
Pretty sure Beck is already way way ahead of all of them.
Struble plays a sound game; nothing flashy, but not many mistakes either.
Dobes allows 3 goals on 4 shots at the start of the 3rd period. 5-0 Marlies
He looked bad right from the start of the warmup.
