Guessing Army ordered Monty to play Mailloux...

Ah, someone else for the foe list. I can only read about 10% of the [shirt] that’s posted here nowadays.

Someone else who can't handle the truth.

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.

Exactly.

Kessel brings nothing special to the table and anyone who's seen him play knows it.

Otherwise the Bolduc deal isn't made.

Play Mailloux and let him learn.

Correct. There were other players with greater fails than he last night. Granted, he did not have much ice time and I'm sure practically everyone was watching for him to screw up, but he did not look out of place nor incapable.

No, no, no...Chris Pronger (and others) have stated it takes a defenseman 200 NHL games to get acclimated to NHL play. Kessel has only played 72 NHL games, he deserves 200 NHL games just like any other prospect defenseman.

As long as those 130 future or so games aren't with the Blues. I've seen enough, he's not going to be that player here.
