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

[Estimated_Prophet]

It was reported they did try to move up to get Hutson but couldn't find a partner.

I do not recall anything coming from Habs management about this......sounds more like confirmation bias derived from the heaps of baseless rhetoric that plagues these boards.

Not saying that you are making it up but I suspect that you are conflating board mythology with the facts.

Maybe I am wrong but I would need to see a link (not implying that you are under investigation lol)

the one thing that keeps coming up as I read about this kid is his. unwavering composure. that was one of Price’s many talents.

damn he was impressive though the Steel didn't have much jump, he made some big saves.

Announcer (enough with the nicknames dude) said he thought Fowler was a better goalie prospect than Knight. They were drafted way differently but I do like Fowler more than I liked Knight.

He also said he would be a 1st round pick, so I like that they got a guy with possible 1st round talent at 69th. In 3 games so far i've been impressed for sure. I will get to see a ton of him at BC though, very interested to see how it goes. Glad he'll have the same goalie coach that Knight and Demko had.

Super good feeling about this kid, I think we might have drafted our next #1 goalie.

I keep being impressed by his movement control and how well he squares up to the shooter. You rarely see him end up outside of his paint.

Yep, he's all over it.

not a lot of Fowler in this vid, he wasn't overly challenged that much but he made some big saves when he had to.

That was what impressed me the most when I would see clips of him. He was square to the puck and made it look like routine saves. That was a quality Price had. It wasn't anything spectacular, but it was effective.

That's why Fowler and Hrabal were two goalies I wanted. And I was willing to use the 37th OA on one of them. Luckily, Fowler was still there after they traded away the 37th.

Posted this in the out-of-town thread, they follow 5 guys including Fowler.

I really like this pick. I think Habs scouts did well with the others G like Miller and Volokhin aswell.

 

[calder candidate]

The Habs best value pick, he doesn’t have great size so he drop on most list because that might limit is potential but he definitely a top 5 goalie in the draft and right now he might be the best goalie

Soooooo.......the Elephant in the room would definitely be Oliver Moore, it is very obvious why he didn't go earlier. Bedard looked like he couldn't get away from him quick enough lol.

Super nice kid but.....

Hopefully, Fowler will be as good (or better) than any of the 5 goalies drafted in the second round while Habs had no pick left (traded for Newhook).

Fowler was their guy anyway, pretty sure.

Him and his family were so happy that he was picked by the habs. Great to see.

 

[montreal]

he was excellent in OT and the SO.

 

[WeThreeKings]

he was excellent in OT and the SO.

That shootout was impressive.

He held the top of his crease - every time. He was right on top of the shooters, disrupting them with his stick and shutting everything down.

Wow that's impressive at that age.

I've never been great with goalies but man is he impressive. I can't wait to see him at BC.

His team should be fired into the sun

Especially that guy who crashed into him at the beginning of the video.

They won it all!

I know nothing about goaltending, but his poise is so reassuring, this is why he was my favorite goalie prospect coming into this draft.

Then he must be really good. They looked awful.

after watching him play the first time and later finding out they won the USHL championship, that was my reaction, he must be really good. Plus in every game i've seen so far the play by play talk so highly about how good he is (not always the home guys either)

 

[montreal]

Fowler's season starts Oct 7th vs Quinnipiac. Interesting that at least for now he won't miss possibly any games to the WJC's as of now the schedule has BC playing on Dec 9th vs Providence and then not again until Jan 12th.
