Post-Game Talk: Primeau shuts out BJs 3-0

[SlafySZN]

I’m gonna get some boos but Primeau is gonna be better than Montembeault.

 

[Rapala]

Great! Let's have two goalies standing on their heads rest of the year, that'll do wonders for our draft position.

It might force us to take Iginla...

Caufield 11 games without a goal

Not complaining if we end up with Iginla

 

[Canadienna]

I’m gonna get some boos but Primeau is gonna be better than Montembeault.

His second half has been really encouraging.

But... and this applies to Monty as well, what separates a high end goalie from the rest is whether they can play well for 30, 40, or 50+ games.

 

[Rapala]

The ebbs and flows of pro hockey are teaching Struble that consistency is tough to accomplish game after game. Struble is struggling a bit.

He's horrible with Kovacevic and not so good with Harris.

 

[OldCraig71]

Caufield was really bad tonight. He got an assist but his play without the puck was brutal, he left his man on multiple occasions in the third period alone, and he is a very weak link defensively on his line with Slaf and Suzuki.

That would be great if it happens, because Monty has been pretty good in net.

 

[the valiant effort]

Primeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaau

Played well tonight, many premium chances that the goalie made great saves. Doesn’t want to go in.

 

[OldCraig71]

Roy, Xhakej and Savard. The rest, even Suzuki, were straight up trash, yeah.

If that was Boston getting 41 shots and not Columbus it would have been a slaughter. We scored 3 goals on 3 shots and then we got dominated.

I wonder if he's playing through some kind of injury... Uncharacteristically mediocre of late.

 

[Tyson]

He's horrible with Kovacevic and not so good with Harris.

Just goes to show what Savard does when paired with these young guys.

So many impatient jokers said he would never be an NHL goalie. Tony Marinara is one of them.

Not saying he’ll be high end, confidence is also needed for goalies. Harder to determine how he’ll end up but he looks pretty solid and he’s just 24.

 

[Runner77]

God awful game but so happy for Primeau, well deserved.

To think how Hughes took a ton of heat all season long for the 3-goalie set-up.

He was right all along in holding on to Primeau -- maybe he knew what he had on hand.

 

[Stoneburg]

In KH we trust.

 

[Tyson]

So many impatient jokers said he would never be an NHL goalie. Tony Marinara is one of them.

I watched him play most of his games in Laval and he was terrific in a long play off run a few seasons back. He just looked like he would never make the jump.

Hughes is a smart man. We're in good hands.

 

[Tyson]

You never know...he is 3 years younger

 

[Runner77]

The Primo Cojones on that kid. Love it!

 

[Rapala]

Once again RDS hating the system in our own end.
It's exactly what I said when MSL first brought it up.
We do not have the players either smart enough or mobile enough to play that system.

It's ugly it's very very ugly.

Damn, all you're missing is that his Mom dresses him funny.

Seriously though, I have noticed a lot of the same issues with his play without the puck recently. His play before this seemed to be improving. So hopefully this is just a blip.
