5-2-2 in his last 9 previous starts, as an AHL rookie, now being asked to start, yup, terrible.Take it that u didn’t see his performance (or lack therof) in front of a sellout crowd tonight. He belongs in Manchester.

Yeah 8-14-2 overall with a save percentage .897. Just a stellar performance.
I take it that you as a college student are proficient in this area ?No offense but you don’t know anything about young goaltenders or player development.
Everyone else, don’t let this guy’s comments about Montembeault concern you.
It is a developmental league with the rosters made up of prospects and hopefully quality veterans to lead them. The NHL parent that stocks their affiliate in this manner usually gets a competitive AHL team as a result. What the Panthers have stocked their affiliate with I'll leave to the resident forum expert on such matters and the "everyone else" he refers to for their "concerns" on the subject.At the end of the day, the AHL is a developmental league. You aren't going to see the best of the best AHL players, because a lot of them move on to European leagues when they realise that the jump to NHL isn't gonna happen. Then you're left with players that haven't made that decision yet, players that are content playing in the AHL (most of them probably couldn't make it in Europe anyway, aka. they aren't that good) and young players that are still learning the ways of the league.
Since 2010 (when the current rebuild started), Panthers AHL team has made the playoffs three times (Rampage 2011-12 & 2014-15 and Pirates 2015-16). 3/7 is not bad for a team that started from literally nothing.It is a developmental league with the rosters made up of prospects and hopefully quality veterans to lead them.

No this is the 2nd year that new ownership is in control. The Falcons franchise was sold to the Coyotes and the new ownership group purchased Portland Pirates franchise in time for the 2016 -17 season. I don’t believe that ownership has the authority to sign any of their own players. The Panthers are in complete charge of player personnel.Since 2010 (when the current rebuild started), Panthers AHL team has made the playoffs three times (Rampage 2011-12 & 2014-15 and Pirates 2015-16). 3/7 is not bad for a team that started from literally nothing.
However, as brought up the last time we had this "Panthers don't spend enough money on AHL vets" -discussion, T-Birds ownership who seem to have a lot of say in what goes around with the team, share the blame. I mean, didn't you say that this is basically the same ownership as was with the Falcons, the team that made the playoffs three times since 2000?
No just the condescending nature of posts to others that disagree with their own opinion.Are you suggesting college students cannot possibly know anything about hockey?
It was probably the Pirates ownership then, because I remember a local poster complaining about it with how things had been in the past.No this is the 2nd year that new ownership is in control.

So Tippett has really turned it up a notch the last 7 games...
Seems to lead the NCAA in points now. So yeah, be bounced back.I wouldn't worry too much about Borg. Players slump and we've broken the goal scoring slump of many star players who've played against us.
Understand that he played well. Didn't see the game so can't comment on it. Kinda figured that you would though.Man that darn ECHL-caliber goalie Sam Montembeault just made 35 saves on 36 shots in his 10th straight start. What a bum! Must’ve gotten really lucky or had some super good defense in front of him
We understand that you are salty with the team. But for a rookie 1st time playing pro let alone AHL hockey, on an understaffed team. I am surprised its this good.
He is the goalie of the future. Get used to seeing him.
I was going to propose the CHL for next year, but then I realised he's a '97 born. So yeah, he's already an overager.I wondered about him since his university team seems terrible (third worst record in the league; injuries probably didn't help). Given that he's 20, this is the last year he can play in USHL, right? That means AHL or ECHL next year?
