He's not an NHLer. Problem is that they don't really have much to call up to replace him.

Poehling is doing well, but I'd rather see him spend more time in the AHL to get consistent.

Maybe try Pezzetta to bring energy?

guy's on a 2-7 team. he's played like poop and is only in the lineup because of injuries. takes a 5-minute major in the first period of a b2b that all but costs them the game. that he hasn't already been put on waivers explains a lot about why not a single player on that team looks like they give a (frank) right now.

2-8 team. But Paquette is Quebecois and MB was informed by the Quebec media about the lack of Quebecois on the team so...

who is this other goalie they're playing?

what happened to the guys from the last couple of years. i know there were other goalies in the system you guys used to talk about (a poulin and a lindgren or something?).

Paquette is a C if you want to call him that. Montembeault is the goalie and he's awful but they don't want Primeau to get set back playing infront of this crap and Lindgren thinks the team hates him which is an understandable way to think given how they treat him.

why does lindgren think his teammates hate him? that's weird.

i never even heard of momentumbeaut until this year.

let's also not forget, because this organization has become so comically dysfunctional, that the second AHL goalie just very publicly called out the organization for coddling Primeau and not giving him a real opportunity.

it's a rather obscure Happy Gilmore line. it was a reach to think anyone would pick up on it.

Theres also the tiny problem of Lindgren playing for another team.

McNiven would be a fine backup but probably not much better than Montembault if at all.

Thinks the organization hates him and refuses to give him chances. While I think you make your own chances I can understand why he feels how he feels

I'm confident the Habs would be in a very similar situation even with Price in goal.

Samuel Montembeault was picked up on waivers from Florida at the end of training camp.

Kevin Poulin is 31 and he plays in the ECHL right now

Laval Rocket are alternating between Cayden Primeau and Michael McNiven right now. Primeau is apparently the guy they see as their no. 1 eventually, but they want him to play and take their time to develop him properly.

I likely was the most pessimistic about this team throughout the summer and going into the season and a week ago I said I'd be shocked if they didn't win 30. That's now winning 28 of 72...not so sure anymore which is (frank)ing hilarious

so...I guess the glass half full analogy is that we are not as bad at the Blackhawks and Coyotes?

So if I can resume the team is 2-8 and it's Paquette and the goalie's fault

MB fired yet?

Allen has been our best player all year.

And really, that is the problem.

poulin is 31? i always thought you guys were talking about a reasonably recent pick that was a young up and comer.

cayden primeau does sound familiar now that you mention him.
