Wonder if the Allen trade was made with him in mind?

Cayden Primeau's play this season made Allen redundant. Habs would have traded Allen much earlier if they could.

Four goals against in region final against Quinnipiac but hard to put that all on him. BC won in OT and is headed to Frozen Four.

 

[Michoulicious]

Most wins as a freshman in NCAA's history is pretty impressive.

BC is good team, but he was a great part of that team. Kid has been a winner everywhere he's been.

 

[William H Bonney]

He struggled a bit today tracking the puck and his rebounds were getting away from him. I'm sure he'll be better in the frozen four.

[William H Bonney]

He didn't have to make many high quality saves tonight but part of that was thanks to how calm, cool, and collected he was swallowing the puck or controlling his rebounds. Impressive initial frozen four performance by a teenage goalie.

If I am not mistaken, yesterday's shutout win against Michigan makes Fowler the freshman goalie with the most wins in the history of the NCAA.

 

[Junohockeyfan]

The rumor is Hughes tried to move up into the 2nd round (giving up his 3rds) to draft Jacob Fowler, to no avail. The Habs original 2nd was already traded to the Avs. Then Fowler fell into his lap after 5 goalies were selected in the 2nd round ahead of him. Habs lucked out.

last game he got the record, which was 30 wins, he's now 32-5-1

Rough day for Fowler getting beat short side twice.

Rough day for Fowler getting beat short side twice.

You can't win them all and going into last nights game he was 13-0 in his last 13 starts and 18-1 in his last 19.

 

[Kaners PPGs]

The second goal was an absolute snipe. The first goal he should of had.

 

[Jared Dunn]

Any chance we see him transfer if BC keeps losing top players?

Haven’t they lost one big player?

Any chance we see him transfer if BC keeps losing top players?

Losing players to the NHL is expected?
If BC is losing players via the transfer portal to other programs that's a different issue.

Matriculating players to the nhl is hardly a bad thing. That’s why teams do a thing called “recruiting”. Not trying to be too condescending here but yeah, nobody is gonna panic because a star freshman signs an ELC.

 

[gifted88]

BC seems to regularly recruit high end prospects. They'll be just fine, 2025 potential first overall Hagens will be joining them.

 

[William H Bonney]

BC has another loaded recruiting class coming in to join what is a loaded roster even without Smith. Losing Smith is a big loss, but BC is still a national title contender. And Smith going to the NHL is zero reason for Fowler to transfer.

 

[Spearmint Rhino]

Any chance we see him transfer if BC keeps losing top players?

Hope not, if he only wants to play behind star players no chance my Habs can sign him

 

[Jared Dunn]

Gauthier and Smith and feel like Smith's departure would make Leonard more likely

Haven’t they lost one big player?

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Gauthier and Smith and feel like Smith's departure would make Leonard more likely

But it's really only Smith.

Gauthier was never coming back for another year. That he even came back for this past season was a major bonus for BC.

Jacob Fowler est excité par les Canadiens

Le discours de Fowler au sujet du Tricolore est fabuleux et singulier, rien de moins.
