That's a pretty good clip, PI. Thanks.
It seems every time I go to a Frontenac's game to see one of our prospects, the young lads don't seem to be too noticeable.
However, I'm going to try and make it to a few more games this year. Subban and this young Jason Missiaen could make it entertaining.
Cheers.

Yeah I wish I lived in the area to be able to check them out.  |

TSN Reporter: "...if the NHL ever decides to go to bigger nets, well Missiaen would certainly have a distinct size advantage."
I'd say that at 6' 8" he'd retain that "distinct size advantage" even if the NHL DIDN'T go to bigger nets.

On his knees his head is at, or above, the cross bar. If he has ANY speed at all, he could pan out. The last thing we need to do is put Price-like pressure on him though. He's a project in many respects. Let him develop his game.

Can he stay in the crease and poke check the oppositions goaltender?

I was just watching the prospect practive video on RDS and Missiaen is just massive! He was bent over, touching his toes with his hands and he covered more net than Halak! He's like Darren Puppa playing the butterfly!
If this kid can become Price's Brian Hayward we will be solid for years!

Missiaen Control to Major Tom
Missiaen Control to Major Tom
Tape your hockey sticks and put your helmet on
Missiaen Control to Major Tom
Commencing countdown, blocker's on
Check opposition and may God's love be with you
Only 39 puckies his way tonight, although he let in more than his opponents. The shooting gallery begins.

Congrats on the billionth post and all those extras stars under your name. I was at the Loon watching the Sens with the Wings boys this past Tuesday, wearing another certain team's colours. Hehe. |

From Brock over on HF tonight:
Saw Jason Missiaen in action tonight.
Saw Missiaen twice last year. He was outstanding once and couldn't save a beach ball the other. He was outstanding tonight, likely trying to prove the Petes did the right thing in trading Trevor Caan. The Dogs outshot the Petes by a tremendous amount, but Missiaen stood tall, no pun intended. A couple of things that are very impressive about him. For one, he moves very well for a big man. He gets across the crease pretty quickly, making one great save in overtime by doing just that, robbing Chris DeSousa with the glove on a two on one. Secondly, he is aggressive in challenging shooters. When a 6'8 goaltender comes out to challenge the shooter, there isn't much net to shoot at. Generally with big goaltenders you can see them being passive, relying on their size to stop the puck, rather than sound mechanics. I can only say one negative thing about Missiaen. It's the same thing that I saw last year that lead him to be wildly inconsistent. He goes down to the butterfly way to early at times. In a sense, it's the probably the fact that he's trying to take away the lower part of the net, relying on his size to cover the top, but I've seen him get abused up high. All in all, looks to be progressing nicely and the Caan trade is only going to do wonders for him as he starts to see more action.

Saw Missiaen yesterday, though quite by accident. Went to the Juniors game against the Baie Comeau Drakkar, and noticed him in the warmup... he wasn't listed in the official program guide, but how many 6'8 goalies named Missiaen could there be?? He didn't start, but came into the game at the end of the first period when Baie Comeau's goalie Giroux got the quick hook after 2 somewhat questionable goals (he may have left with an injury, his glove got knocked off on the second goal).
Can't say I was overly impressed with our now dearly departed next Dryden. He didn't look overly confident in nets, gave up some rebounds when he shouldn't have (easy shots) and generally looked like an overage junior player forced to scrounge around for a backup job on one of the worst teams in the QMJHL. In other words, not that good.
3 points and first star for some Junior kid named Louis Leblanc though... we might want to look out for this guy...

We might want to keep him away from JM, though.
