Brett Brochu, is he for real?

[Louis Cypher]

Mike smith was 6’5”. Or are you talking Billy Smith?

Billy. Sorry I didn't realize you said Mike earlier.

Billy. Sorry I didn't realize you said Mike earlier.

Yeah I remember even into the early 2000’s the typical goalie build was, small, quick, agile which I think in the small pad/pre butterfly era genuinely was better but in the butterfly era it’s more advantageous to be taller so you can still cover some of the top half even when down.

I remember Luongo being a giant at 6’3”. That’s probably average or a bit below average now.

He had a couple solid AHL games. Oil Country says, that's a good enough sample size for me, sign him up please! Preferably a 3 year NTC deal.

Give him the 5x5 just like Jack Campbell.. I mean what can go wrong..?

 

[rboomercat90]

Thats a lot of PIMs for a goalie.

How’d he end up with 11 minutes in Fort Wayne? Gotta be a fight or some kind of major penalty in there.

 

[CycloneSweep]

He’s better than Ungar thats for sure.

He's been good in the ECHL for a couple of seasons as well so it's not like the guy has no track record beyond those 2 games.

Another stellar performance tonight by Brochu!

Another stellar performance tonight by Brochu!

Condors were outshot 37-13 and only lost 2-1 thanks to Brochu. It's only 3 games but it's hard to argue with a 0.937sv%.

 

[MessierThanThou]

Another stellar performance tonight by Brochu!

He didn't allow any goals until the third period and made 35 saves while only letting in two. So rocking a .937 after three strong games in a row while Rodrigue and Delia sit in the .800s despite playing behind an arguably better lineup all season. Hope he keeps this up and the Oilers get him under contract.

Also, he likes fighting...

The next Binnington! Get this man signed, STAT!

 

[bleedthenorth]

sign the f***ing man

 

[Canovin]

The higher the league, the higher his save % becomes.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

The higher the league, the higher his save % becomes.

Some guys are sort of just like that, either way brochu emerging as a goalie prospect of some legitimacy would be just massive.

 

[jukon]

Definitely Binnington vibes. The dude was like 5/6 on our goalie depth chart. Likes to fight. Hopefully comes in and leads us to a cup.

well that explains his PIMs.

 

[Canovin]

Not as tall as Binnington but more like Tim Thomas

 

[94 Oil Drops]

Fire Dustin Schwartz now too. QUICK! Before it's too late!

I meant in the AHL.
