Future Vezina Winner in the Canadiens System? A Massive Statement Has Been Made About NCAA Standout Jacob Fowler
While the goaltending situation is a hot topic in Montreal, none of the current goalies on the team's roster seem capable of succeeding Carey Price as the long-term number one. Despite the good work by Samuel Montembeault and Cayden Primeau, it's unlikely that either will lead the Canadiens to major honors in the coming years.
However, analyst Pierre McGuire made a significant statement on the podcast "The Sick Podcast - The Eye Test," suggesting that the solution the team is seeking might be closer than expected. He believes Jacob Fowler, a player for Boston College, has a very promising future in the NHL. McGuire even goes as far as to say that Fowler is the best goaltending prospect outside of professional ranks.
"Many good things are happening in Montreal right now. They might have the best goaltending prospect outside of professional leagues, a young man named Jacob Fowler who plays for Boston College. If you haven't had the chance to see him play, go watch this young man, he is the real deal, an extraordinary prospect." - Pierre McGuire
This statement speaks volumes about the young goaltender's talent.
At just 18 years old and the 69th overall pick in the last draft, Fowler has quickly established himself as the number one goalie in his first season with Boston College. After an exceptional journey in the USHL, Fowler is now equally dominant in the college ranks.
In ten games, the Melbourne native has allowed only 22 goals, posting a 2.18 goals-against average and an impressive .924 save percentage. He has won seven out of ten games (7-2-1 record), being named goalie of the week twice this year.
Fowler's progress over the next few seasons will be intriguing to watch, and it seems that the Montreal Canadiens may have finally found a number one goalie who can take the team to new heights.
