If not the best in the NCAA, he's not far removed.

Hrabal is the best in NCAA lol.

Gotcha . He's 20 so he is a few years away. Agree he's looking amazing

Thanks. So dobes is a legit NHL backup right now? Seems crazy to me.

I am wondering if they pick up a vet on waivers. What do you think happens with Primeau now that he's cleared waivers?

He's being tried as such.

If he falters, either they try Hughes or trade for a goalie like Georgiev.

 

[ottawagm]

We must expect Forsberg on Thursday, otherwise we needed to claim him.

Primeau was hyped as he should have been after putting up one of the best U-19 seasons a goalie has ever had in the NCAA,

Seems like confidence issues. Laval is stocked, so he should have a strong team in front of him to try to find his game again.

yes, he's also only 25 - still young by goalie standards

 

[TheKrebsCycle]

Not quite. But he didn’t say they were idolized.

He didn’t, but he did say overrated and vilified which I asked “ is that the same as idolized ? “ responded with yes . So in an indirect way he was trying to convey the same message

for sure, I've had people in the Laval media suggest that he has shown signs of issues dealing with the mental side of things.

Laval started the season off great, 12-2 but are 6-8 since so hard to say how good they are or aren't yet.

Ah, didn't realize they had been that way - I saw them a couple of times in that 12-2 run and was impressed.

 

[Frank Drebin]

I assume you weren't on HF much between 2012 and 2022.

I was, and I don't remember that at all. But continue.

Remember Tokarski for a 1st?

Niemi stealing Price's job?

Condon starter goalie?

I remember.

awesome. lets see those threads, should be fun for a laugh.

I'm not going to go dig into hundreds of threads to find what I was talking about.

It's not specific threads, it's people talking in GDT, trade threads, player threads etc

So because a couple of posters "idolized him" means that the whole fanbase did.

 

[Zam Boni]

Meeh, there were always a bunch of posters pumping the tires of whatever backup to Price that strung a couple of strong games together, Niemi in particular.
The same group of poster were usually in the Halak camp during the Price vs Halak era.

You're reading way too much into this.

Sounds like something that happened so infrequently it wasn’t worth mentioning

 

[Stephen]

Seems like a goalie a team like VGK will scoop up and rebuild into a surprisingly good goalie in 2-3 years.

Anything could happen!

 

[HuGort]

Primeau waiver exempt now. If he has a good AHL run Habs might get something for him. Team looking for depth

Bingo. Radically selective memory and amplification of some fringe weirdos.

You can find some who believes that, I don't know, Ken Dryden didn't actually exist and was the product of some kind of conspiracy to rewrite history, somewhere on the internet.

That doesn't mean that you can use bizarro world crazy people to prove a thesis.

So you're telling me HF Habs overhyping almost every goalies we've had that started hot before turning on them when they came back to earth is not a thing?
