Looks like Augustine.
The thing about playing Norway is you can't win the net playing them but you can lose it.

Jacob Fowler Stands Out and the Big Names Make an Impact: Boston College Men’s Hockey Weekend Thoughts
What an absolutely unbelievable weekend of hockey. The Boston College men’s hockey team passed every test in their biggest weekend of the regular season, sweeping Boston University in a...

There was a ton of talent on the ice over the weekend but for my money, the best player in both games was the man in net for BC. Jacob Fowler was fantastic in his introduction to this rivalry, holding an immensely talented Terriers team to just four goals across the two games. He stopped 58 of the 62 shots that he faced and perhaps most impressively, he kept BU’s biggest names off the board for a long time despite the fact that they had plenty of scoring chances. BU’s two highest scorers - Macklin Celebrini and Lane Hutson - were both blanked on Friday night and only managed to get on the board late on Saturday when Celebrini finally scored on a shot through traffic. And Fowler probably could have had an assist of his own on an earlier goal in the third, when he started an odd-man rush opportunity with a great kick save.
We’ve talked a lot about how good the freshman class has been this season but it feels like most of that is in reference to the trio of forwards in Ryan Leonard, Will Smith, and Gabe Perreault. But Fowler has been just as good if not better than them. Pick a statistic and there’s a good chance Fowler is near the top of the leaderboard. Not the Hockey East leaderboard and not just for freshman, but in the country. His .924 save percentage is good for sixth best, he’s #10 in goals against average, and he’s tied for first in terms of just the raw wins with 18. Fowler has been the rock solid, every night goalie that we all hoped he would be basically from the first game of the season, and he stood out even more over the biggest weekend of the year.

Haha whit went hard on that one.
"Future NHL all-star."
"It's like Dominik Hasek in net."
"He's like Hasek combined with Price combined with Roy combined with Brodeur"
"I saw a college goalie this weekend that like I've never seen before"
He would do well on HFboards lol. It sounds like he's mostly basing that all off last weekend.

Luckily the Habs took 3 goalies, so that takes a bit of the sting out of Fowler's disappointment...

Oh for sure it was. It's based off of the back to back with bc and bu but it's nice to see some recognition for the kid! I'm not anticipating a Hasek Price Roy concoction. I'll settle for either clone
.On a serious note sure does look likes he's putting up a he'll of a season. I like his swagger. I'm rooting for him.

Go Habs Go
He should get praise he just stopped 58 of 62 shots vs the #1 rated team in the NCAA at the time as that was a great weekend.

young 18-year-old American goalkeeper, Jacob Fowler
He has to be one of the best goaltenders I've seen in college hockey. He's 6'2" and Montreal took him in the third round. The fact that this kid was taken in the third round, I'm telling you Montreal Canadiens fans, this kid is going to be a star in the NHL .
He's incredible, it's like he's Dominik Hasek, combined with Patrick Roy, Carey Price and Martin Brodeur. This weekend I saw a college goalie who was playing at a level I never saw before. never seen before." - Ryan Whitney

Well Whit is right he saved their bacons.
The only line doing something for BC was the Smith line and they weren't dominating, just decent.
Can't wait for the beanpot
