He's more aggressive offensively which is good, still needs to read the play a bit quicker defensively so he can stay ahead of the game a bit.

Mentioned in another thread, as did a few others, that he is looking better with every game. Looks more confident and calm. He should stay in the lineup and I hope they start ramping up his ice time.

First game in person, so I could focus on him a bit. Agree he could be quicker with his reads. He does have a nice wrist shot when he uses it. Also, was pretty physical tonight and has a bit of a mean streak. He wanted to go with Cozens but the refs stepped in. Hope he gets confidence and continues to develop. Lots of tools for sure.

Solid call out here, he's been much improved. Kid can skate. Monty needs to put him in more positions to expose his shot. He's got a heater

He's looked much better since coming back up. Still want to see more from/of him but he seems to have calmed those awful yips he had to open the season. Guy didn't look like an NHLer before the demotion.

Had more confidence and played a 200ft game (for the most part) Easily his best game as a Blue. Lets keep it up!

Agreed! Getting some games in with Springfield was the way to go. Sitting up in the press box was not going to help the young man's confidence. He had to play out the negative.

He’s looked so much more relaxed and is playing his game,which has glimpses of whar the Blues need. Here’s to his continued imptovemt.

He has 9 shots on goal....surely he has but I'm not sure I have seen him miss the net on any others and it's a wicked shot at that.

Logan's game is looking more and more like a young RHD you trade a Bolduc for. Of course that's impossible since it was Army who made the trade.

Time will tell but I'm pulling big time for this player.

I agree, he makes some plays at RD that could only be made by him and maybe Faulk on this team. A lot of that is due to his skating and reach. He held it in the zone several times very well and fed the offense smoothly and effectively.

What baffles me at times is how he and Fowler do not mesh. I think they both want to run the play. Being with Fowler helped Mailloux get 16min of ice time, but I think at some point we should switch to Broberg-Mailloux and let Parayko have Fowler (great pairing last season). Eventually get Lindstein up or pick up a vet.

Looking forward to seeing how it plays out.

Fowler has been rough to say the least I agree eventually it will be Broberg Mailloux or at least that's what the Blues would love to see work. In the back of my mind I wonder if the team is trying to determine if Kessel and LM can handle some responsibility reasonably because one of Faulk or Parayko could be moved soon.
