If my memory serves me right the Cats finished dead last the previous season. I do believe the team that had a 16th place finish in the league not far from the cats was none other than Rimouski, who trounced us badly today and are in first place in there Conference and Third over all in the League, Obviously, their drafting and especially coaching put Rimouski where they are today. For us, well its quite obvious where our problem is with the Cats and its not the players. Grametbauer has played to much Waite has played to little, (to pull him tonight after two goals that should have been stopped just adds to rocking his confidence. He never did return to the bench till the second period. I mean Seriously!! |

No, it's the players.
At least who we have available presently.
And yes, he had no choice but to make the early hook given our goals against lately. If Grametbauer can't get himself together until the second period to return to the bench, that's his issue.
Rocking his confidence? Already rocked my friend.
Might as well get this out of our system in February instead of March.

Yet some genius sees Grametbauer as an OA on his team next season  Grametbauer is going to be an OA next year, he’s s good goalie. I’d rather have him on my team then Pickard, luckily the Titan traded Pickard so you’ll now agree but a month ago you’d never have had that opinion. Murdaca was always there and did not slow down.... Grametbauer was never an option for next season for the Titan. Some on here might suggest after the trade period that Couturier wanted Grametbauer as his prime target, but other fans on other boards already mentioned that he was enquiring on Samuel and Montpetit. For sure Grametbauer was not the first choice to replace Pickard. He was not even in the first 3-4 considered... I would not prefer him to Murdaca for sure for next season if the team has to keep an OA goaltender. Probably Fitz will be gone pro at that time. |

All things considered for the team we iced today, we have not played that bad. If our goalies could stop a beach ball we would be in this. 2 goals against on 6 shots in second, 2 goals against on 3 shots in third
Khovanov,Cyr,McDonald, Hudson,Pataki, Sylvestre. How many teams have he depth to absorb a top line, 5 top 9 forward, and one of top two D men. I’m watching frustrated, but context I guess. Yet some genius sees Grametbauer as an OA on his team next season You're THE last person on the planet who should be making fun of anybody's posts. |

20 goals against in 2 games is unacceptable at this level. Rumble should bag skate them after the game. (Wait, we already tried that..) I don't care who is missing up front, 6 of 7 regular d-men are playing and both goalies. As you said, no excuse for such a meltdown defensively... |

The game went about as expected considering the circumstances. If there's anything to be frustrated about as a Cats fans it's to see a 1st place team roll into town with a very solid 17-year-old goaltender and three 16 year-olds (actually had five in the line-up today) who all play and contribute. It's funny to think that both teams had three first round picks in the 2017 draft at one point. Rimouski kept all three picks and have Lafreniere, Innis and Bizier. The Cats have Pelletier. The Cats keep seeing examples of how it should be done...Halifax RN Rimouski etc...and yet they want to try and do it their own way and fail miserably... |

You would rather Murdaca then Grametbauer as a 20 next season? We must watch totally different goalies, one is a backup who hasn’t proven he can start and the other is a bonafide starter. Just in case you get confused, Murdaca is the backup and Grametbauer is the starter too. |

Just like with Fitzpatrick, whom you had as a terrible goalie...Grametbauer would suddenly be great if you guys got him... |

I think the issue with Grametbauer is...1-his back up sucks so even when he gets a night off it's often not a night off and 2-the team sucks defensively in front of him, so if he has a shaky night they get blown out. as I said at midseason, no reason to keep a mediocre 18 year old when you have a better goalie who is 17... |

Exactly.. if we are missing that many guys we should be playing low risk defensive hockey and trying to win 1-0 |

If only there was a coach with a proven track record of winning in the Q that still owns a house in Moncton.

And what is the reasoning behind wanting a very ordinary OA goaltender back next season? Lack of alternatives ... don't forget, our depth chart is still 12 months removed from being one of the weakest ones the Q has seen in 20 years. We are taking steps in the right direction, but management has made some questionable moves to try and accelerate the process, and as a result, we lack depth. |
