Guessing Army ordered Monty to play Mailloux...

....otherwise it's a colossal mistake to do so in a game the Blues desperately need to win.

Yeah, why play him instead of Kessel in any meaningful game?
About how many hours before gametime is Monty allowed to ask permission of Army for lineup changes?

No idea...also there is absolutely NO reason not to play Binnington tonight. He was great against the Kings and the Blues are off tomorrow.
the last time Monty did this it resulted in an 8-3 loss to the Hawks.

It's do or die. The season comes down to tonight.

Nope i totally disagree, where you at Blues practice, did LM show well? If LM has been practicing well, talking to Weber and co. and doing what has been asked then throw him in again with Fowler.

Why not forfeit the first 20 games of the season then? Blues can take 2 months off and start play at the Thanksgiving break. These early games don't matter.

Lose tonight and consider the franchise in full meltdown mode: Monty and Armstrong out, new owners from Saskatoon in, and pandemonium spreading faster than warm-up skates. I’m calling it now — chaos, served hot.

I'm laughing at the word "desperately." You always have been quite dramatic!

We know Kessel's upside....there isn't any, this is who he is, so Mailloux needs to play. Blues aren't a good team, barring another 12 game winning streak they'll probably pick Top 10 and miss the playoffs, so makes no sense not playing him.

Well its a 4 point game against a central division team that is already 3 points up on us so its probably about as big as regular season games get.

We should absolutely 100% be pretty desperate to win this games which could easily be the difference between playoffs and not.

Kessel looked pretty good to me, will we feel the same if perhaps Kessel makes it another team and gets a shot and becomes a viable RHD?

[mizfan]

I really like the idea offseason of getting Mailloux as they need a young defenseman but all the things the Canadiens fans were complaining about is already happening here with him.

Blues aren’t a good team? By what measurement? They’ve played 6 games. 3-2-1. I mean…for [fork] sake. People acting like we’re the (bleep) Calgary Flames and we’re a game above .500. What the [fork].

Gotta justify the trade!
