See that Chase Marchand picked up a 33 save 4-0 shutout win over Sherbrooke last night,good for forst star of the game. He is now sporting a2.64 goals against average and a .925 save percentage. Not bad for a guy Dumont threw under the bus after about 6 games.

Not bad for a guy Dumont threw under the bus after about 6 games. In my opinion Goal tenders are difficult to judge they need experience at the level they are playing, motivation, desire, and a crazy need to be on the ice playing the game also to some degree hate it when a goal goes in and work twice as hard to stop the next one. Also a goal tender does not get better sitting on the bench for the season. Now i realize that he or she is practicing at that level however a practice is positive for sure but it will never exceed the real game situation. This Marchand seems to have been able to get or have all of the above just not with the Eagles. However, we are all able to learn from our challenges which is what life is all about. He is doing very well so far for sure.

Goaltenders are difficult to judge, but I think what eaglefan62 is referring to is that Dumont was quick to throw Marchand under the bus and ship him off when he had some bad games, yet he's praising Brassard and saying he never had a bad game yet.
Compare Marchands stats to Brassards. We had Marchand for nothing, yet we had to PAY for and OVERAGE Brassard.
Chase Marchand - 2014-15 Victoriaville Tigres QMJHL 11 2.64 .925 Francois Brassard - 2014-15 Cape Breton Screaming Eagles QMJHL 14 3.62 .883
Sure, Brassard had more experience previously but if we GAVE Marchand a full season chance, we could be in a better positioning in the league right now.

He is doing very well so far for sure. Marchand played 12 games with eagles and now 11 with Victo so its not like he got a ton of experience to develop. Its probably more about someone having confidence in him not that he got all of the above as you mentioned.

I just want Brassard gone. Thank god he can't play for us next year.
Shoulda kept Legare and sent him packing. I'm getting sick of Dumonts little man crush he has on the guy. Play a different goalie.

Agreed, Brassard is total garbage. I'm beyond sick of his shitty play "don't give a damn" attitude. There hasn't been one game so far this year he has played where it seemed like he gave a shit about winning. Don't let him play anymore. He is a major (not the only) reason we are major underachievers this year.

Sullivan is not QMJHL caliber either I thought that was pretty obvious and discussed in other topics. I think a lot of people including myself thought he deserved a chance to start a game after what Brassard was showing which wasn't much better than what Sullivan shows in my opinion.

Did it make you feel better watching that game today thinking Sullivan 'deserved' the start? and since his showing wasn't great tonight, does Brassard deserve to start the next game? As bad as Brassard has been, in the short term he gives the Eagles the best chance to win games. Some people are so focused on blaming the goalie that they're forgetting the defense is super young and some of the forwards are not playing well at all.

Unfortunately I didn't get to watch the game this evening. But what I'm getting at is from Brassards play other than a game or two I thought that Sullivan deserved to get a start to see what he could do. He played well when he had to replace Brassard in games I saw. If you read my posts I'm not the first person to blame the goalie and point out or defensive mistakes as well. But there are some that need to be saves

I don`t understand why Dumont didn`t trade for Brandon Withney....I talked with an NHL scout and rumours said that Dumont refused a trade Withney-Bureau last draft in Sherbrooke

Don`t forget....Brassard has a very bad record with the team of Patrick Roy....like is head coach...Dumont not a great coach....same problem they have in Val D`or....
Dumont >> the same pattern when he was with Val D`or....the half of the room didn`t want to play for him....I would not be surprise seeing 3-4 players asking for a trade at christmas !!

Some people are so focused on blaming the goalie that they're forgetting the defense is super young and some of the forwards are not playing well at all. WOW DID I JUST READ THIS RIGHT ? someone finally got their head out of the sand on this site and are telling it how it truly is I said I would be back and here I am. NOW folks I will play this broken record once again in a game of hockey there are 3 fwds 2 def and 1 goalie hmm. I believe they call that a line and having additional lines of FWD`s and def`s you call it a team.
As I have said it before and I`m happy that jamesnorris is saying about the same thing here let`s stop blaming just the goalies to easy to do that and yes we have been spoiled in the past with some tremendous goalie talent who are now in the NHL.
Well that was then and this is today and for the past couple of years the door has been going round and round with one goalie in the other out and well it`s the goalies fault again, let`s go and get another one welllllllll maybe just maybe we should start looking at the complete team and the system/transition game that we have in place GEEZ.
Is it that hard to see that even a 20 year old established NHL draft goalie is having issues like others that have come and gone maybe just maybe if we dissect this on paper possible power house of a team a little more, but NOOOOOO not us Eagles Fan's we just continue to say HEY THE DAMM GOALIES are CR____ well I have seen some not bad goalies come through this team lately and they are doing not that bad elsewhere so MAYBE JUST MAYBE WE SHOULD BE LOOKING SOMEWERE ELSE TO PUT THE BLAME GAME!!!!!! JUST A THOUGHT.........

Some people are so focused on blaming the goalie that they're forgetting the defense is super young and some of the forwards are not playing well at all. The D is young but it was supposed to be vastly improved by the addition of 2 18yr olds who have been somewhat average to this point. The only defenceman who has shown any consistancy from game to game at all has been Leveille(in my opinion of course). No doubt that has to improve. The problems all relate back to coaching and style. Even with the worst goaltending in the league you should at least show an ability to tighten up with a 1 goal lead when you have the players we do, the fact that we don't tells me the teaching and coaching is lacking. This team has shown very little cohesion to this point and is still very similar to the team we seen early on. As a season goes on a hockey team is supposed to gel and grow together. This team is only growing as individuals and it's showing in the results.
