Mailloux and Roy are in the same boat: disappointed, but motivated to prove things
Auteur: Emma WilsonSo, they were on the ice this morning for the Laval Rocket’s training session, and the two guys are kind of in the same boat.
Logan Mailloux’s situation is different because he had a respectable camp.
But it’s been harder for Joshua Roy, and he knows it. Rocket game analyst Vincent Demuy (BPM Sports) spoke to him this morning, and the Québécois admitted that it was a tough day yesterday.
The Habs’ decision seemed to be hard for Logan Mailloux to digest, as he spoke to the media this lunchtime.
“I have to be more consistent. I didn’t prove I could offer my best level of play on a regular basis during camp.”

Joshua Roy traded to @RocketLaval, his 1st reaction:
“It was a tough pill to swallow yesterday, but this morning it’s a fresh start. I want to work on myself and my game. My goal is to get back to the top.”

That’s why Mailloux and Roy need to keep the right attitude, telling themselves that they’ll possibly get a chance to shine at some point.
We’re also talking about two young players who should quickly become leaders in Laval this season.
Mailloux should have a huge role at the blue line, and offensively, it’s probably Joshua Roy who will lead the herd.
After all, that’s what we want to see from two prospects with great potential.
Pascal Vincent wants to ensure that Roy has the opportunity to produce, and that’s a good thing too.
Because that’s how he’ll gain confidence, after yesterday’s difficult news.
Offensive combinations this noon at @RocketLaval:
Farrell-Gignac-Roy
Dauphin-Condotta-Simoneau
Davidson-Beck-Mesar
Tuch-Xhekaj-Kidney
Arseneau-Beaucage-PerreaultNo specific trios order, just a deduction.

Nobody has more fun at Habs practice than David Savard aka Papa Savvy
