Unshakable and Unstoppable: How Fowler’s Ice-Cold Composure is Changing the Canadiens’ Game Forever
It might have only been a preseason game, but still, it was
Jacob Fowler’s very first NHL game on Monday night, and he played admirably for the Montreal Canadiens.
Through the 35 minutes he was in the net (and the ensuing shootout), he looked
as calm and collected as could be.
More than the sound positioning and the excellent puck
tracking, that’s what stood out for me. There are markets where that may not be
as important a trait. Still, in hockey-mad Montreal, which has a long line of
goaltending royalty such as Jacques Plante, George Vezina (aptly nicknamed the
Chicoutimi Cucumber), Ken Dryden, Patrick Roy, and, more recently, Carey Price,
it’s almost essential.
