Fucale gave up 4 goals on 17 shots in Quebec's 4-3 loss to Rimouski tonight. The only thing stopping me from saying that was a bust of a pick, is the fact that goalies really take a long time to develop. Fucale's development this year, though, is a large step backward. It's not looking good.

It's not looking good. Goalies though...look at Dubynk last year in Hamilton? Thing I see coming is Therrein and Scherbak. Therrin is fussy on his defensive play, Scherbak is an offensive Russian. A lot of those Russians back peddle after brief stint in NHL, Galchenyuk, Barkov, Nichushkin, etc... |

It's probably more important that he comes by his points honestly than if he really lights it up by cheating offensively. The stats might not look too promising, but maybe he plays more of an nhl game than some of our other young guys. I don't get to watch him play other than the odd highlight here and there. True.... David Backes could be looked at as a comparison.... Not a real world beater in terms of skill and skating... But he is so smart and physical..... Keith Primeau is another guy who wasn't a overly skilled guy. We just gotta wait and see how he progresses.... I don't think hes got Brendon's Shanahan talent.... That's pretty apparent He looked really effective in the preseason last fall. Maybe if impresses in camp he could get a few games next season with the Habs |

Barkov is a Finn, even though his name sounds very Russian. There must be Russian blood somewhere in his past. But I get your point. Nichushkin has been hurt all year. It looks like he's doing a conditioning stint in the AHL withe the Texas Stars. One assist in 2 games. I don't know what his injury was, though.
Galchenyuk is puzzling. I'd really like to see him back at centre and getting accustomed to the defensive requirements. It would mean he'd touch the puck a lot more and that's where his strength lies. He's boosted his scoring from last year, where he did indeed take a step back, but it's not a lot more than his rookie season on a point per game basis, .586 to .5625.

Not a good indicator on how a prospect goalie is progressing imo |

Maybe a better example...thx disp!! Hard to say if he becomes a scorer as his skills don't jump out at you.. But Not hard to seeing DLR playing on a scoring line one day in the future not because he is amazingly skilled but playing his power game.... Maybe Mccarron too??? |

No doubt things haven't worked out for Zach in QC. Could be lots of factors. I'll wait until he gets to spend some real time with Waite before calling him a bust. He's a great athlete.

Apparently a nominee for Hobey Baker award, grandson of Bobby Baun. Not exactly overwhelming numbers. Good size.

It was admittedly a half sarcastic post. He's not ready. I freely admit that. Were he, he'd be a dynamic injection of offense that they need.

After a shaky first round, Fucale just won his 8th in his last 9 starts last night as Quebec took a 1-0 series lead with a 4-1 victory over Moncton in their semis.
McCarron and Oshawa get their semi series going tonight.

I haven't had the chance to watch any of Fucale's games with the Remparts. He got off to a shaky start after the trade, was supplanted by his back up, and then got back in. I'm sure he's hoping to have a good run in his last year of jr. Moncton is a fire wagon team on the backs of Barbashev and Garland.

No need to rush Fucale. Price isn't the problem. Lack of goals is.

I'm guess Anon was being highly facetious with his 'suggestion' of using Fucale in game 7. Even using Condon or Tokarski (if for some 9th dimension reason one thinks goaltending is a problem for us) is a huge stretch.
Nope, we gotta score goals. When you look at examples, Calgary comes to mind. They have very few goalscorers but they manage to score by using a very high tempo forecheck and instant transition game. Their advanced stats are poor, but they seem to overcome lack of possession time. Biggest difference between them and us? Work rate.
Now, I'm not so sure they can keep that up without using steroids, but so far, in making the playoffs and beating the Canucks, their compete level is astronomical.

Yes of course it was highly sarcastic, just seeing if it would stick with anyone. I love Calgarys style, and loathe ours.
