[TheGoalJudge]

Remember when we picked Price even though we had Theodore...

and people were so upset.

Keep calm. Good pick.

 

[HabsGER]

So pumped right now...pure adrenaline rush through my whole body after it was announced! Welcome Zachary!

Message to Carey: Pick it up.

Not even a remotely accurate statement.

What a steal

 

[Nova_Scotia_Vees]

awesome

 

[Frank Drebin]

Happy with this pick.

Not even a remotely accurate statement.

Exactly. It takes goalies 4-5 years. People need to calm down.

Steal of the draft

 

[Analyzer*]

Great team and his save percentage is only at .909... A little unsettling.

 

[Ice Poutine]

Maybe Fucale is there to shop for something to eat for Price...

 

[FlyingKostitsyn]

Very glad we didn't have to use a 1st to get him

Welcome Zach!

Oh and the collective RDS orgasm about this pick is quite funny

 

[Bob Cole]

Great pick

 

[TA1 Sports]

I could jump over the moon right now.

This is amazing!!!

 

[Leo Getz]

Now go make the World Juniors.

Habs prospect in the premier position of the tourney.

Exactly. It takes goalies 4-5 years. People need to calm down.

4-5 years to develop, 6-7 to reach their prime

perfect. pick. And i'm a Price fanboy.

 

[CP31]

Huge Price fan but I LOVE this pick. Great value at 36.

 

[habsfanatics*]

Love this pick too, but not a fan of our first 2 selections tbh.

 

[Franck]

Would be great if Craig Button is right about this kid.

 

[Blind Gardien]

I was anticipating picking up one of the lesser goalies a little later, but you can't pass up Fucale at #36. He's got a couple more years in junior, a couple in the minors, a couple as a backup. So 6 more years. No real pressure on Price there. Yet. But it gives us an ace prospect at a position where we needed one, and he'll give us a nice option in 5-7 years, if he pans out.

 

[Boris Le Tigre]

Love it... Fucale is a huge Habs fan. Just like PK was/is.

 

[Bieber fever]

Never liked him but at 36th thats a good pick

 

[Davebo*]

Well, the Canadiens did say there was a good chance they were going to select a goalie in this year's draft. May as well choose the top one on the board.

Absolutely - love this pick, and amazed he was still available.

 

[Tabarouette]

Dauphin to Seattle!

edit : wrong thread!

 

[1UP]

Great team and his save percentage is only at .909... A little unsettling.

.900+ is massive for a junior goalie.

At .909 he's tied for 3rd in the QHJML. Plus, he was 0.918 during 17 playoff games.

- bleh, there goes Dauphin.

I wouldnt read too much into it.

 

[Ice Poutine]

Well we wanted players that could go to the net and stay there and Fucale will do exactly that and no one will have to tell him to do it!
