Solid game. He made an incredible save at one point. He didn't have a whole lot of work though.
The Cellebrini goal, he was screened by his own teammate at the last minute. No chance there.

Go watch yesterday’s Reinbacher goal in a pro game and it’ll get you hard!!

It's Billy Ryan - our Director of Player Evaluation and Amateur Scout
Got to love that he was willing to bang the table to insist we go with Fowler

Also, it will be interesting to see what he can do next year if the team isn't that good, after a lot of the team's best players graduate (like Will Smith and Cutter Gauthier). That would be quite a mission.

From all accounts, Fowler is absolutely focused on becoming better. Apparently last summer after the draft, he started focusing more on his nutrition and training as he wasn't in the best shape he could be. Fast forward to March 2024. You can see just by his face how much he's slimmed down. He's quicker and more agile.
This kid wants the pressure, he loves it. Made for Montreal.
Some kids have an aura about them, a swagger that can't be taught. They seem to win at every level they play. Fowler seems to have that "aura" about him.
His Twitter profile pick is the absolute best

On A YouTube Sick Podcast Pierre McGuire said Fowler should turn pro next year and start 60 games for Laval with Montembeault and Primeau sharing time in Montreal.

I leave him at BC for another season and let Dobes start 60 in Laval.

Watching Fowler I do get a few Carey Price vibes

I think what you want to see in a goaltender is the flawless technique, but also the athleticism to be able to make some of these crazy saves if need be. You can compare to Price, Fleury etc, but very few goalies have all of these abilities.

You have to think out of all of these goaltenders, one will emerge as a number 1.

He just seems to have "it" - I think he's gonna be an NHLer and a good one. Time will tell but we're lucky to have him
Hard to say otherwise.
The one thing though that sticks out is how stacked the team in front of him is....he hasn't faced too many tough games this season
