Player Discussion Emergency Goalie

[Team_Spirit]

When you thought this night couldn’t get better, the EBUG is a pro wrestler under the name Kaden Rose.

No way

Chèvrefils, what a name

Goat son? Insane he should have kept his real name for the wrestling thing

A roster player can dress as goalie.

Savard would be my choice. All butt saves.

50 replies! Already! The topic is about a Emergency Goalie! And was opened yesterday.

HFHabs is something!

Is it just me or the Habs management dropped the ball by not having a plan in case one of their goalie (or both) get injured? In the playoff??? They had to get the guy to drive from his home in the South Shore and dress up. That's at least 30 minutes. What would have happened in Dobes got hurt?

I find this hard to believe an organization like the Canadiens didnt think better?

 

[Canadiens Ghost]

It's a remarkably dumb question.

Why would anyone ask if they are going to call up a goalie from the AHL of Montembeault can't dress?

Of course they are... what's the other option, only dress one goalie?

Read again. I asked do they call up Primeau OR Fowler?
I accept in advance your apologies.

Fowler is not eligible as he's on an ATO, so they have to call up Primeau.

Kapanen's reaction

Right? it sounds like the name of a family painting company. Chèvre & Fils

 

[Kimota]

What if both teams need a goalie?

We put in Savard of course and we let him do the on ice octopuss for the whole game.

 

[Canadiens Ghost]

Yeah, I know after having read some responses but just replying to the guy that has reading comprehension that thought I asked if they should call up a replacement goalie or just wing it with Dobes and no backup whatsoever. Of course you call up a backup.

While it's true that he didn't understand, I still think the question is a bit ridiculous. I don't see any universe where it would make sense to call up Fowler ahead of Primeau, even if he was activated. Especially with Primeau's numbers in the AHL, and NHL experience.

 

[Redux91]

All I care about is how good are his Zamboni drivin' skillz?

 

[LaP]

Did not know Markov wanted those 10 games so much.

Is it really? People wanted to run Primeau out of town this season because he was horrible. Some may think that despite is AHL stats, he isn't cut for the NHL. Some others might want to gamble with the shiny new toy...

I can understand people thinking such a thing, but it doesn't make any sense if you put yourself rationnally inside a GM's head.

 

[Naslundforever]

Same guy. EBUG is provided by the home team for either team that loses a goalie.

How does he not let in every shot on purpose if he subs for the visiting team? This is so confusing

Bingo! That's why I asked people what they think and did not ask Kent Hughes himself.
