CJ talking about Lehkonen having a good game. But the other two guys on that line were just okay.
Love the honesty.

Sure, but Primeau is way younger than they both were. Primeau is 20, Condon was 25. Lindgren was 24.
Primeau has a natural positioning for his age, like Price had. Sure, he looks shaky but the basics of a good goaltender are already there.
I'm not saying he'll be as great as Price though.
Goaltending is a funny position. Primeau comes in with some hype, but it takes a while to see a goalie's true colours.
Condon looked very good in preseason, and he carried it into the regular season, until price went down. Then he fell off the rails, and never looked as good again.
Lindgren has looked promising before too, but his stock has been dropping.
Even Price himself was mired in a goaltending controversy, after an awful 2nd half to 08/09, and a poor 09/10.
So I'm reserving judgement on primeau for quite a while in terms of what we might have in him.
One guy I really like tonight and also yesterday at the scrimmage is Phil Varone, you can see why he played over 40 games in the NHL last year. He could be a callup in case of injuries and he would probably do better then Chaput or Deslauriers.
To me all three were pretty meh at best. Drouin being a distant 3rd with one or two decent flashes in the 3rd permis.
hahahahaha
Got caught out editing a post in the GDT not realizing it was going to close. It's preseason for everyone.
In fairness Binnington was drafted in 2011 and finally got a look at age 26The trend seems to have changed in recent years with very young tenders stepping in immediately and winning as a number one at the highest levels Penguins twice Blues once. I can't totally agree with your assessment.
Suzuki was the most used forward tonight.

Of course your point is valid too, and I agree.I just kept my examples limited to the habs. On the extreme side, there's markstrom who just recently started looking like a good #1 goalie
All I'm saying is that at some point, Primeau is going to face his own adversity, as all goalies do, and that's when you learn about these guys. We should all be optimistic about Primeau, but also keep in mind how quickly things can change at this position.
It's been two years since he's been here, and now about to start Year 3, and I've been asking this since he's been here and no one's answered me. Why is Drouin the only one who sits when he has his scrum?

Martin Beauchamps, 42, trucker from St-Jerome.Who the hell watches Gaston Therrien playing golf at 10:30 in the middle of the week
Carbo is the wisest on that panel!!!!
I would try KK at center with Domi and Drouin, EUREKA!
Is it just me or does that look like gionta?
