Excuse me sir, the Husso errr Zadina err Copp thread is over there.

This is the Augustine thread which is exclusively for talking about soft busts like Rasmussen.

 

[schuelma24]

To both attempt to talk about Augustine but also continue to derail....Cossa last night stopped 32/33 and his save percentage is getting to a decent number for his first AHL year (.906).

Augustine had a 31 save shutout in his first game back from winning the juniors.

What if ... what if we have 2 top goalie prospects in the pipeline?!?

I'd say that would be pretty cool! We had our hopes dashed when Larsson and Petruzelli turned out to be a whole lot of nothing for us. It would be a real luxury to have a Swayman/Ullmark situation on our hands.

Lyon is too old to be considered a prospect, but if he’s our Ullmark and Augustine becomes our Swayman then I’m happy.

there's only a 5 year age gap between Ullmark and Swayman

there's a 13 year one between Lyon and Augustine, Lyon could easily end up being straight up retired by the time Augustine even hits the NHL

You missed the obvious joke.

Augustine and Cossa would be my Swayman and Ullmark. Lyon is not fit to reprise the role of either one.

 

[FireBird71]

Must’ve left his game in Sweden…has given up 6 to Michigan so far tonight

 

[Reddwit]

There is no argument.

Rasmussen was a bad pick because he was universally ranked well below the spot where the Wings picked him, and almost every scouting report went out of its way to point out that his play 5-on-5 was pedestrian at best and that most of his points came on the PP when he was parked in front of the net and 16 year olds couldn't move him.

Now that he is in the NHL the flaws in his game are hugely apparent and it's pretty obvious that he still relies on his size to define his game. That doesn't work when you have guys 5 inches shorter and 20 pounds lighter than you who know how to do things like skate well and use leverage to knock you on your ass.

Go back to 2017 articles. Not a single person outside of Wings slappies on forums we're going "Wow, Rasmussen, what an underrated pick at 9". It was almost entirely "lol Ken Holland strikes again".

No one in the hockey world was surprised at what Rasmussen turned into: a guy who wouldn't even crack the lineup on a Stanley Cup contender.

Edit: McKenzie is the highest rating I can find for Rasmussen. He has him at 9OA.

I mostly remember what I posted right before we drafted Rasmussen. It was more or less “anyone but Rasmussen” and I wasn’t a big fan of Tippett at the time. Wanted Necas or vilardi hard.

 

[Winger98]

I wanted Vilardi until news about his bad back became a thing. I could taking a flier on that talent anyway but I totally get anyone not gambling on that sort of issue.

I am pretty amazed at where he is at with all of that lost development time and average to poor skating.

Goalies are going to have bad games, I have been very impressed with Augustine for a few years now, even when he has one he seems to move on from it fast.

A short memory is always a good thing for a goaltender.

 

[Sparty]

Huge night for Augustine, kept the Spartans in the game tonight until the offense could get rolling and they stole one in Yost. 43 saves.

 

[odin1981]

lol that the best clips of Rasmussen are of a better player bouncing a puck of him and him falling down on a routine play and injuring another player in the process.

That about sums him up. A big body that can't do anything.

Abby?

I have very high hopes for Augustine. I think he's gonna be a gem.

 

[roman star]

went into the michigan wolf den and gave up only 1 tonite

Beat those nerds from down the road again.

You have to love a performance like that from a prospect watching vantage point (or if you don't like UM).

Augustine is truly a case of there being more to a prospect beyond the stats. The wins are there but he's 46th in GAA and 13th in SV%. If you followed him this year the intangible that sticks out is that he's money in clutch situations. I won't be shocked if MSU hangs another banner while he's there.

Well if my [nerdy] boys are gonna get worked, at least it’s by a Wings prospect. Go Augustine.

Maybe a Big Ten banner, sure.

Get in line behind Wisconsin. I think BU or BC wins it all this year, but I wouldn't be shocked to see MSU in the mix.

 

[Sparty]

Holy hell what a night. MSU outshot like 2-1 and Augustine bails them out, 44 saves. Empty netter makes it 4-2. Big Ten champs!

Edit...one more empty netter makes the final score 5-2.

 

[Ed Ned and Leddy]

This is the one year I can make peace with an MSU conference championship. In seriousness, credit to Augustine for a very strong year and to Nightingale who has done excellent work with that program.

 

[Christien]

For all the hype Levi got, Augustine sure deserves the same. He's been nothing short of amazing for MSU and even won a WJC gold
