I am guessing Mysak will center the 4th line and that Kidney will move to the wing? Watching after games is done, on AHL tv. Good first, better effort, Cederqvist was supposed to sit but playing after the Roy recall: he scored the first goal. Mysak also scored, he is not the fastest or the biggest but he plays with heart. Rocket was down to 4 Ds in the middle of the 2nd Justin Barron (blessure) sera de retour en troisième période. Mattias Norlinder (blessure) ne reviendra pas au jeu aujourd’hui. Justin Barron (injury) will be back in the third period.

alfredoh2009 Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Weird to see Blandisi and Shaw with letters on their uniform ( captain, assistant) ; they both played with LVL before . Keiffer Bellows seems to be always in the middle of scoring opportunities for the Marlies. I wonder if he may be a trade target for a 3rd line role somewhere (not necessarily the Habs) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His stock has fallen that low that the best he could do to start this season was an AHL PTO that was converted to a full deal about a month ago.

alfredoh2009 Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Logan Mailloux is hands down the best defender for the Rocket. He is dominant offensively, and solid most games defending . Rookie of the year in the AHL? I’ll need to check Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll need to check If Logan Stankoven doesn't win Rookie of the Year down there, there will need to be an investigation. He's leading the league in scoring, not just leading rookie scoring. Mailloux is tied for 5th in rookie points, 3 out of a tie for 2nd so a good second half could get him in the mix but it's Stankoven's award by a mile as things stand.

alfredoh2009 Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Three points for Mailloux tonight...and this "melee" last night. He is better than a point per game and +11 in his last 15 games. He adjusted to pro hockey rather quickly considering his lack of junior experience. pic.twitter.com/qvnYlHiUjG — Grant McCagg (@grantmccagg) February 11, 2024 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good for the kid The $64,000 Question with Mailloux was never his offence ... I don't watch enough Laval games closely enough to judge how Logan is handling the defensive side of his game ... I-M-O he should be excelling in that aspect of his game before they consider bringing him up to the NHL ... I believe he can get there ... give him the time to do it.

DON Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 https://www.habsworld.net/2024/02/rocket-weekly-a-split-in-toronto-2/ "...Yes, there’s value to easing youngsters into the lineup but I’ve noticed that Jean-Francois Houle seems to be selective with who gets that opportunity. Last season, Xavier Simoneau and Pierrick Dube both saw lots of top-six time as the season went on and did pretty well. But last year, Jan Mysak rarely moved off the fourth line (something that can be said for this season as well). This year, Kidney has been a full-time bottom-six player while Jared Davidson, an offensively-skilled player on his own right, spends most games (last game being an exception) in the bottom six when he gets in the lineup."

alfredoh2009 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 I have not noticed the few time I’ve watched, but Davidson is said to need improvement on his skating. Bottom-6 is fine for him at this moment. Kidney, I agree that it would be nice to see him higher up, but he has been too inconsistent to deserve it. Mysak has spent time and effort with coaches improving his game. I like him, but he has not shown he can face the other team’s top lines. He tends to be too slow and also gets pushed aside too easily… but he works hard. Farrell is the prospect that I was hoping would show progress/potential but he has been injuries most of the season. Besides those names, I don’t know who could have more ice time in the top lines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be, but every coach see things a bit different and has favorites who play 'their' kind of hockey. Not sure how much Big Brother (Ramage et all) has to do with icetime or who plays with who?

Commandant Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Im with GHT. You gotta earn your icetime Mysak is in his third AHL season and has never proven to be a top 6 AHL player. Kidney needs to dominate on the third line and that would prove he needs more ice time. Etc. Go out and earn the spot. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is Simoneau a small gritty-Desharnais type and is his skating good enough for the NHL? I-M-O, Mailloux needs to prove more than " some much better reads in recent weeks" ... he needs to do it for the rest of the season ... and maybe some more AHL time to polish that improvement in his defensive play to start next season ... a few weeks is far too small a sample size ... I was always optimistic about Mailloux's future, and hoping he may have Top 3/4 potential ... but he still needs to make up for the almost two seasons lost to Covid et al.
