Jacob Fowler is continuing to be a beast in the NCAA! What are YOUR thoughts on Fowler's progression this year? Who do YOU see as the BEST goalie from the 2023 draft? And where would YOU rank Fowler in a re-draft? I'd LOVE to hear YOUR thoughts y'all!
Helloo
And so Augustine !! Clearly Augustine was way better in the WJ And took the starter role with an edge while Fowler Clearly struggled in a big competition so to me he's not the Real Deal but obviously talented. BU is stacked overall while Michigan State not so much despite Levshunov in D who's potentially a future top D
Looks great! Might be as good as Devon Levi.
You know hes a good prospect if Grav is making a whole video about him. I think calling him a starter this early is risky but the potential of maybe a Hasek is there. When he goes to Laval if he still is playing with a .915%+ honestly then I'll write him off as a superstar goalie.
This thread is a treasure trove of wisdom and insight. It's like stumbling upon a hidden gem.😘
Poziom empatii i zrozumienia tutaj jest porażający. To przypomnienie naszego wspólnego człowieczeństwa.💝
Question for all my Habs fans: Which of the Hutson or Fowler looks like a better draft steal? And also do the Habs become future contenders with Fowler at a superstar level?
Goalie prospects from American system rarely turn out to be what people think they would, Jack Campbell, primeau , Montoya ect ect , only like 1 outta 20 ends up being good
The level of intellectual curiosity and thirst for knowledge in this community is infectious. It's a joy to be a part of.🌺
Dobes had a rough start too and his stats are still good.
Habs have another great goalie and water is wet
What about your Easton Cowan is looking like a draft steal video? Remember when you said he has no potential and he went on a 34 game point streak ?
Vezina 20 years straight
Is he related to cam or no
Everyone should have goals. But good luck scoring on Fowler. He's insanely talented, and wants to get better.
Was the pun around the 9 minute mark intended. "There's only one Carey Price, he was a once in a generation for the Montreal Canadiens, a consistent 'Carey-er' of that team."
Jacob Fowler is the next Patrick Roy
Nice pick
He reminds me a lot of Roy when I watch him play. I think he should play in the AhL next year.
I like Fowler a lot as well but I'll be interested to see what he can do in front of a bad NHL team and a young dcore cause depending on how long until he comes to the NHL will obviously still be a year or 2. A lot can change in a year or 2 for the Habs but that dcore is extremely young and inexperienced so I'd be curious to see how Fowler does in front of a team that isn't loaded confidence is a huge factor for goalies so I hope the Habs are patient and don't rush him to the NHL in front of a meh team
13:00 Dont forget Cayden Primeau, who is starting to heat up as of this year
He said it himself I've won at every Level
Dude's decent but I swear he's becoming one of the most overrated prospect lmfao
Might consider Luca Cagnoni for another draft steals video. I know it's only one year but he was taken by the Sharks with the 123rd pick and he's having a fantastic season for the Winterhawks becoming the first defenseman since 1993-94 to put up 90 points in a WHL season, and he's been tearing it up in the playoffs so far (3G,1A in the first 2 games). His size will be a concern at higher levels (listed as 5'9") but so far it's looking like a steal.
"Habs LEGEND Al Montoya!!!" 🤣
He could be the next Mike Smith
He could just be a product of how beastly the BC team is and not actually be as good as everyone might think.
Cayden Primeau is also doing well this year with the club putting up 0.913 save percentage in 18 games and playing over 500.
The Habs definitely found their next Carey Price
Nobody in the Habs leadership want to repeat the mistake to have ONE single starter caliber goalie, however good that one goalie is. No more can a single injury can cost everything. They want depth at that position, no the best possible, but the best goalie tandem they can get to play 50/50 60/40 (like Boston used to have). Like anything else, you need balance. You need a strong third and 4th option in the AHL. They are not trying to build a team with a few superstars + others, they want a team that will play as one, to have the vaste majority of players be from their own system so that everyone grow together, learn to lose and win as a team.
With the cap in mind, they avoid bridge deals like the plague, and instead sign long term for cheap because it’s based on what they believe they’ll become and not where they are now. And it’s the case for the bottom six too as Hughes said directly.
It’s only when all of that stuff is done that Hughes plan to bring one big name from outside that will be paid past Suzuki, but not until the team is pretty much all there and as bad contracts from the past era keep expiring.
It’s kind of fascinating to see the first full rebuild of a team that’s 120 years old.
Will it work? IDK. But the whole point is to be able to go deep into the playoffs in a sustainable way (obvious I know LOL, but the leafs and their fans being a thing that exist, it’s not entirely useless to get reminded what success in the NHL means for teams in their playoff window :p).
I so wish that Bergevin would have passed the torch after the cup run 2 years ago though. Because instead of understanding that the team was dead after that crazy swan song, he persisted which ended up with bad moves. He should have left Danault’s contract to be dealt by his successor; just that situation made us lose one of the best shutdown C out there, a first round pick, and gain a bad contract in his zeal to replace him. Danault would have been the best mentor for the next generation and still be there to shutdown the best offensive superstar Cs for years to come after the rebuild. At least he helped mentor Suzuki, which in turn will mentor the young Cs that will start to move up soon (including the one that they will hopefully be drafted this summer with a little luck and a bit more losing).
LA, please take care of our boy for us. And if PLD cannot learn to be better with him in the team, it’s hopeless imho :pz
Fowler is sexy
As he was saying he has to keep the team in the game, he's going to be the only one doing that because if the lane hutson rumors are true and Reinbacher doesn't live up to the hype then he's gonna have to bail the team out like Carey Price did. It's the reason he never won that cup, the habs defense never is good enough as a whole to defend against good offense.
And yet he's not THE goalie steal of this draft, cause that same draft, the very same Habs organisation also picked Yevgueni Volokhin in the 5th round. And what that kid has been achieving in the MHL is just MAD. Lowest GAA by any goalie who's played over 20 games, 3rd best saves percentage in the whole league barely behind a Panthers Prospect who got drafted 2 draft class before him (but only played 14 season games). Number one reason his team got to the Conference Semi finals in the playoffs. Best numbers by any goalie in those PO having played 3 games or more (1.23 GAA in 7 games ! with a .954 sv%)
(The habs also got Quentin Miller whose second part of the season was also remarkable, after having prevented the Remparts from a more severe goal-flow hemorrhage in that total rebuild). Crazy goalie class overall.
Your videos are great but a mic upgrade would bring your production up so much! Just a suggestion, keep it up.
How does he look like a steal he hasn't played a single game yet lol.
In case your new to hockey amateur stats mean VERY little.Patrick Roy was the big name yet he had terrible junior stats so who cares?Carter hart of the Flyers had amazing numbers and where is he now?
versus better competition at the world juniors he had an .889 sv % so yeah we can't just throw around the positive numbers and say ok he is GREAT !!.
Furthermore if you pay attention to the nHL we have seen no name goalies left and right having big games it's all about how well the team plays in front of the goalie not the other way around.
3 games ago Fowler let a long shot from the point get past him and he saw the shot the whole way and if your letting shots from that distance in your not a goalie we should expect much from.
Poor Primeau, no love for him I guess
Lose a little credibility when you put al Montoya and legend in the same sentence.
