Thanks Billy......Has anyone seen Blouin play intra squad games? If so does he look like a decent backup to Blanchard?

Blouin played in the intraaquad games and I think he will be a decent backup to Blanchard. Personally, I don't think Riopel will stick due to his age even though he played the first two exhibitions. Also, I think the Cats will be trading for an even better goalie... Blanchard won't take them far.

He looked pretty good to me when he played last year. He has the potential to be one of the top goalies in the league this year. He may be inexperienced, but he has all the tools, and for someone to say that he won't do the job before the season has even started is kind of jumping the gun dont you think.

The only goalie from last year that's more proven as a frontline goalie is Ellis and he shit the bed in the playoffs.

Oh sure, like Patrick Roy knows anything about goalies. Sometimes you wonder ... he traded to get Boutin last year ... even though he was plagued with a groin injury for most of the season ... and was always rumoured to be a head case. Now he trades to get a 20 yr old goaltender that is over-rated. DesJardins was great in the Mem Cup but was brutal for alot of the season last year. Just because Patrick was a great goaltender himself ... doesn't make him some sort of genius as a GM. He hasn't done anything to impress me and has done some things that really make you scratch your head. Some might think getting Esposito was a coup ... but look at what he gave up to acquire him ... plus the price to get him to report. Don't be fooled by those "stanley cup rings in his ears" ... he isn't any better than anyone else.

My point is that he had already contacted/spoke to Blanchard and did seemed interested in him.........this of course was while back!
