We have indeed just heard a concerning statement from Vincent Demuy on BPM Sports regarding the bad habits of some Habs players.

As reported by Alexandre Lanctôt, who works on Le Club du Matin and Le Forum at BPM, a troubling declaration was made.

«When a player is demoted from the Habs to the Rocket this season, it seems they arrive with bad habits.»

This is big!

Young Canadiens players arrive in Laval with bad habits, according to Vincent Demuy

According to him, this season, young players who are sent down from the Montreal Canadiens to the Laval Rocket indeed join Pascal Vincent’s squad with «bad habits.»

Or at least, everything suggests this is the case.

I must admit, I was also startled to hear this, and I have to say it raises concerns about the future.

When we talk about players demoted to the AHL this season, we’re primarily referring to Joshua Roy and Logan Mailloux.

If this statement is troubling, we must still acknowledge that it’s not evident in the stats, as Roy has accumulated 10 points in 9 games, including 7 goals, while Mailloux has a solid 9 points in 4 games, including 3 goals.

Both are absolutely on fire at the moment, and Pascal Vincent’s team is off to an incredible start this season.

It wouldn’t be surprising if the Canadiens eventually recall Roy and/or Mailloux to spark an Habs team that could really use a boost right now.

This is a story to watch.
