You bet, great pickup. Props to Paps.In said Article he speaks of wanting to “win every game and get to the memorial cup” that’s what we want Adam, that’s what we want

Yes that’s what I’m saying. Weeks will likely be on the bench next season and Lemaire will have his turn to get a ton of playing time in his league.

Hmmmm.. in my view Weeks 'is' the back-up. Let Weeks get a ton of games playing in the OJHL right now. His stats say a GAA of 1.74 and a Save % of .941. Those are damn good numbers. So fast forward to the OJHL playoffs... Mitchell's team has clinched a playoff berth now, but they are not the top team by any stretch. We will see how many rounds they go... and then? Voila... Mitchell Weeks is on the bench as back up for the Wolves play off run --- should there be the need with UPL leading the way. Lemaire does not need to play a single game in my view. He has had a great opportunity to practice and travel with the team, and learn literally from the best junior goalie in the world. Certainly gives him a leg up for landing a spot on the team next year. Make sense?

It may be because of options. Weeks has a commitment to his jr team; whereas; Lemaire was just a little more than a co-starter for a midget team

Well, it's a calculated risk I guess but we're gonna suck if Lemaire gets the call for any reason before Weeks comes back.

Whew. Thank you. Now I'm hoping you get a chance to take a look at both goalies tonight. Just to help you get an idea on who's the best option for backup.

Yes, if I'm a betting man he is still in his undies, watching Seinfeld reruns.
Sounds right. From what I've seen, his GMing is closer to a comedy than actual hockey management.

Ummmm...UPL, any news? I hope they're just giving him the night off completely, but you can't help but think injury when he isn't even on the bench.

He's done for the year according to reports. Had to be Nick Foligno to end his season of all people...why can't ex-Wolves play nicely together, haha. Hope Capo can recover and have a strong year next year.

I'm excited to hear how Lemaire does.. can't make the game but think he could be a solid goalie in the future! Good luck to our boys tonight

Lemaire looks good, moves very well for a big man, a little rebound control needed but looks impressive.

Rebounds could be due to nervousness but he definitely looks sharp otherwise. Seems to spend more time on his feet than Weeks if comparing the two. He's also a big fella

I prefer the goalies that stay up longer, find they're harder to beat as they mature more and learn players as there's less scramble. I may be alone but I'm excited for our future in the crease with Weeks and Lemaire! Sounds like we're doing good keep it rolling!
