Carter Gylander (191st-2019) is 6-0 so far in the Alberta Junior Hockey League season for the Sherwood Park Crusaders.
Gylander, 18, has allowed two goals or less in three of his six victories.

Another W for Gylander today... 24 Saves in a 6-3 Win

8 Starts... 8-0 2.87 GAA .903 SV... Not Bad

What a hell is happening with all our goaltenders? Also Larsson did win his AHL debut.

It's worth noting that Gylander plays on a dominant team scoring 5+ goals per game with the top-3 league scorers. His individual stats aren't so good but hopefully he can improve that and maybe match last year's numbers.

Eliasson seems to have taken the starter spot for Almtuna at least for now. He's done alright, but being a starter for one of the worst teams in the league is a big challenge for him. Glad to see him getting the opportunity though.

Prospect Ramblings: Junior Tournament in Finland (Oct 15)
Ässät U20 defenseman Antti Tuomisto (DET) is just too good for the junior level (he has to stay there because he’s going to NCAA). He plays huge minutes and controls the game whenever he’s on the ice. I haven’t seen a better defenseman in the league this season – not even anyone who comes close, actually. He still makes mistakes at times, especially in the defensive zone. But the way he’s in total command of the game all the time is beyond impressive

Hey Chad, any idea if Eliasson is injured? He isn't listed as 1 of the 2 goalies on Almtuna's team today.
I noticed that too and am guessing it's some last minute thing like a flu because there's no info out there. Was looking forward to a Brattström vs Eliasson battle.

Mrazek was pretty exciting for a while there. Disagree with that. Let's just hope our next guys find consistency a little better.

He had a lot of hype after his WJC performance, but we all knew the #1 goaltender wasn't going anywhere regardless of what he did. The scenario for these young goaltenders is different from Mrazek's.

That seems pretty revisionist. We all thought Mrazek was legit (his numbers to that point were unreal), and that he was the extremely likely number one of the future. 2 of his 3 full seasons here he played 50 or more games which was clear cut more than Howard. Everyone thought Howard was on his way out

I agree with the fact that he was better than Howard, but the organization looked at Howie as their guy. Mrazek wouldn't have been traded if that wasn't the case.

With Howard being 35 years old now, it's inevitable that a replacement will need to take over soon. Unless Yzerman says we're addressing our future goaltending by FA, this is the time for our young goaltenders to show their worth.
