Prospect Info: [2023 - 69th] Jacob Fowler (NCAA - Boston College)

I think we all expected more out of Fowler...

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

This is a joke yes?

 

[WeThreeKings]

This is a joke yes?

No, he definitely believes that.

Luckily for us we doubled down on Quentin Miller

 

[Estimated_Prophet]

He's nothing like Hasek but he's not the only one who has talked about him being the best goalie in college hockey. Pierre McGuire was effusive in praise as well.

McGuire is a buffoon who was equally as aroused by the Fucale pick as well.

I do like Fowler though even though he is smaller than I would like. He is technically sound and seems to have the resiliency and makeup to become an NHL goaltender. We will know more in a few years but the early signs are encouraging for sure.

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

I heard that stuff about Primeau also though. This board once had Hawley as future starting NHL goalie. Goalies are wildcard.

Hamburglar set all kind records his rookie season. The next year he was in minors. Just can't tell.

Unclear if hurt or not, BC were leading 6-1.

Volokhin may end up being the best of them all!

 

[Scintillating10]

A total of 5 goalies were taken in last draft before Fowler. He has best numbers among them.

 

[WeThreeKings]

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

He's the clear cut favorite IMO or at least he should be. Definitely top 3.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Unclear if hurt or not, BC were leading 6-1.

He wasn't hurt. He has played every game this season until then. He was staring at the bench wanting them to put in the backup and get him some playing time (according to the Boston radio crew). The Czech goalie's 2nd appearance was the Beanpot Consolation game against a weak Harvard team. 5-0 win.

 

[EveryDay]

He's the clear cut favorite IMO or at least he should be. Definitely top 3.

I think the favorite is Kyle McClellan from Wisconsin. Fowler is probably top 3 or top 5 right now with Justen Close and Ryan Bischel as well.

Lane Hutson and Jacob Fowler named first team Hockey East All stars.

Fowler named Goaltender of the year.

Didn't Primeau won the same award, we defenetly have a nose for goalie

 

[Ghetto Sangria]

So much Iron Man hockey mask potential with the habs colours...

He did as he had outstanding #'s in both his age 18 and 19 seasons. He was named the best goalie in college hockey in his 2nd season despite having a little worse season.

Going back to the 90s when I started following the team, it's definitely been their biggest strength.

Theodore, vokoun, Garon, halak, price.

And even the goalies drafted by other teams did well here like Hackett and huet.

They went into a funk after price, but that's understandable that they didn't feel as compelled to invest in finding goalies in that era.

 

[Shutdown]

very smooth - very fun to watch. he's a hell of a goalie.

 

[red devil]

 

[Goldenhands]

After winning everything in the USHL last year, we can add the Hockey East championship and in nomination for NCAA goaltender of the year, not bad.
