The recent performance of Montreal Canadiens prospect Joshua Roy has raised concerns, especially following his outstanding start as the Rookie of the Month in October, where he amassed twelve points in five games. However, his season has since taken a worrying turn, with Roy going scoreless for seven consecutive games and accumulating a distressing -13 differential during this period.

This slump may explain why the Canadiens' management chose to keep him in the American Hockey League, suggesting that he is not yet ready for the NHL. Despite his impressive offensive skills, it's clear that Roy needs to refine other aspects of his game to compete at the highest level of hockey.

Anthony Marcotte, the commentator for the Laval Rocket, criticized Roy's effort during the recent game against the Belleville Senators on BPM Sports. Marcotte emphasized the necessity for Roy to put in more effort if he aspires to play in the NHL.

"If he wants to become an NHL player, it's going to take more than what he's shown. We know he has the potential, but yesterday, he was part of the problem. He simply didn't work. I can't excuse that, if you don't work, you won't get results and you won't play in the NHL. I'm going to be harsh on a guy who we know has potential. Show up, yesterday, he didn't show up." - Anthony Marcotte

Marcotte's blunt assessment underlines the need for consistency and effort, even for a player as talented as Roy. His first professional season was expected to have ups and downs, but his commitment and work ethic on the ice are crucial for his development and progression.

The recent performances of Joshua Roy might indeed be a cause for concern. For a young player aiming to make it to the NHL, maintaining high performance levels and consistent effort is essential.
