Massive Statement: the Canadiens Have Drafted a Future Star and He is Exceeding All Expectations
The Montreal Canadiens have finally focused on acquiring depth at the goaltender position in the last draft.
Not wanting to miss out, the organization selected no fewer than three goaltenders. However, it's the first of the lot, Jacob Fowler, who has been drawing a lot of attention since the start of the new season. Selected with the 69th pick, Fowler is a 6-foot-2, over 220-pound goalie at just 18 years of age.
Fowler, who chose to join Boston College in the NCAA, is turning heads with his incredible performances. He is so dominant that Pierre McGuire, who has no direct connection with the Canadiens, made a significant statement about him.
"I think a lot of good things are being set up in Montreal right now. In fact, they might have the best goaltending prospect outside the professional ranks. His name is Jacob Fowler, and he plays for Boston College. If you haven't had the chance to see him play, go watch this young man; he's the real deal, an extraordinary prospect."
McGuire declared that the Canadiens have the best goaltending prospect among those not playing with a professional team. Considering that five goalies were picked in the second round of Fowler's draft, it's major to hear today that he is considered a better prospect than them.
Some experts even believe that the CH's goalie could snatch the number one role with the U.S. national team for the upcoming World Junior Championship in a few weeks, potentially taking the spot from Trey Augustine, who was the starting goalie in the last edition. This would be a remarkable achievement for Fowler.
Here is his impressive performance this season:
"The Canadiens' prospect, Jacob Fowler, 18 years old, in his first year at Boston College:
9-2-1
1 shutout
2.14 goals-against average
0.926 save percentage
Hockey East Goalie of the Month for October.
He has started every game for Boston College so far this season."
Fowler's promising potential is undeniable, and we are eager to follow his exploits over the next few years.
