Hope he grabs the bull by the horns. Has been very solid in Laval now the last two seasons.

 

[Goalfield13]

Pretty risky considering he's just coming back from injury.

 

[Naslund]

Could be the end for Primeau. It's up to Dobes to show he belongs.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Does this mean Primeau has been shipped somewhere else ?

 

[Lshap]

Whoa! Not a shock, and yet... a shock.

Starting Sunday against Tampa, I'm guessing.

 

[ReHabs]

Hughes finally making some necessary moves to stop the bleeding. Let’s go boys, let’s fkn go.

 

[PhysicX]

Pretty risky considering he's just coming back from injury.

Shows you how much confidence the Habs brass has in Primeau this season.

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

Would've tried Hughes first.

You can't keep giving Monty all the starts, he needs a break too, and the club has zero confidence in Primeau.

Dobes needs to come up, next season Fowler will take #1 in Laval and will play the majority of games.

 

[ArtPeur]

We have a trade to announce

 

[Goalfield13]

We have a back-to-back coming up and it's clear Primeau is not the guy. I still think they have a trade for a vet in the works.

I agree this was needed looking at the schedule. I just hope this is not their long-term solution for the season. Dobes needs AHL time.

Hopefully he pulls a Halak when we had Aebischer underperforming and makes a statement to be with the team long term. Monty can’t play every game. If Dobes ends up not being ready, they need to make a trade and get a goalie. The Primeau experiment did not work out.

 

[WeThreeKings]

They might have something in the hopper and Dobes gets a taste this weekend, before going back when Primeau is swapped for a veteran 3rd stringer.

Does that mean Montembault is Huet and Fowler is Price?

 

[Goalfield13]

Would've tried Hughes first.

Trebs and I were having a nice discussion about this in another thread. He stated he would give Dobes and Hughes some starts. I didn't agree that this should be THE solution for the year, but we need something in the meantime. Might as well give them a taste of the NHL.

You never know. Lol

My bet is on Mrazek or someone similar. We shall see.

 

[Redux91]

Thats what I'm talking about

It's unfortunately over for Primeau

But Dobes deserves this, and we deserve to see what he can do in the bigtime

The 3 goalies carousel is back.

If they decide to keep Dobes up, he needs to share the load with Monty at near 50% to continue his development, not sit for 5 games before his next one.

 

[Rapala]

Oh Shit
Hughes has shown some cracks in recent games.
Poor Bastard gets called up just in time for the "Rookie Dinner"

 

[Tyson]

Pretty risky considering he's just coming back from injury.

He came back and had a 31 save win last week. He was sharp.

 

[Runner77]

They didn’t announce a corresponding move. Will they simply waive Primeau or is he eligible for a conditioning stint given how he hasn’t played in so long?

There’s a position with playing time included in the NHL for Dobes if he’s ready. Other fans would be better able to say if he is or not as I haven’t been watching many AHL games. Montembault should realistically not be starting more then 2-3 games in a row.
