Just got done watching Dobes vs Smith from Saturday night, there were technical difficulties so I missed a chunk of the 1st which happened to be when Smith picked up his assist and when Dobes entered the game as the starter gave up 2 quick ones early in and got pulled.
Dobes once again impressed, i'm not great with goalies at all, he was aggressive in his puck handling again, also showed he's hot under the collar again as he got into it with an opposing player for bumping him and later wasn't happy when his hand got bumped.
He currently leads the USHL with a .939 save % and a 1.61 gaa (that's current, I haven't seen all of his games yet) but of course it's very early in the season but you can't help but wonder if the Habs might have another Primeau like steal on their hands, time will tell of course and next year will be the real test at Ohio State but it's a very good sign that he's going to a top 20 program ala Primeau (but clearly not on the same level since he'll be 20 as a Freshman)
Smith made some good plays, nothing fancy, and clearly needs to bulk up and add strength especially lower body.
I put this together as a bit of game highlights between the 2, Smith is#20 white, Dobes #71 black, waited until all the technical problems were over but it's still a little long,
