Oof, this won’t be pretty
No Jack-eye vs Rempe tomorrow then
We need to spot winning or our chances at Celebrini will melt away.
Ouch… exactly what Laval needed for the playoff huh….
Welp… We’ll see Reinbacher play more minutes

I understand the fact that Barron has more experience in the NHL, but I wished they would have given Mailloux a chance to prove himself. Besides, it would have rewarded his good season in the AHL.
Damn. The only game of the season I go see at the Bell Center and my favorite player since CP is Xhekaj. Was looking forward to seeing him play. Kind of bummed :(.
Ack. I wonder if Xhekaj was hurt defending himself from Eyssimont. You know, after Stamkos took out Hagel and Xhekaj was guilty of skating while being large.
“Excited to see Kaiden Guhle’s potential on the ice for the Montreal Canadiens!”
I understand the recall but I would have loved to see Mailloux getting the call instead of
Barron has looked very uneven in Laval since being sent down. Lost at times, NHLer at others.
He’s easier to replace with Norlinder on the right side of Galipeau and kept to minimal minutes than it is to change the other pairs of Bisson-Reinbacher and Trudeau-Mailloux, which are more relied on.
barron has been really struggling in laval (tbf, laval sucks ass) so i’ll be curious to see how he handles this. i swear he’s getting worse under houle.
Fuck Kucherov
Kucherov should be a marked man now heading into next season. Completely dirty and uncalled for hot
aw man
