I believe this was after the Edmonton game.

And you're going to hear a reporter ask him if Jacob Fowler getting called up.

He's basically asking him, did you feel threatened by that without saying so many words?

Absolutely.

And when they can actually take a breath, you want to talk about pressure.

The reporter's asking, did you feel pressure with Fowler getting called up?

Maybe the question should have been,

Do you feel a relief of pressure now that Sam Montembeau has been sent down to Laval for a conditioning stint?

Do you feel is there less pressure now on you now that Jacob Fowler has been called up?

Because that's more likely the reality.

Not saying that Jakob Dobish was wishing Sam Montembeau to go away, but knowing that, A, you don't have the uncertainty of three goaltenders up, so who's playing, who's backing up, who's dressing, who's sitting, who's not.

But also, okay, right now, for right now, it's me and it's Jacob Fowler.

And...

We've seen that they have alternated them every game.

There's predictability.

There's a routine that gets established.

The Canadians, the rest of the team in front of them, know that some big changes have been made.

There's a shakeup in the net.

So they're going to step up their game in front of two young goaltenders, which helps them relax and settle in and just focus on what they need to do in the crease.

All of this, we've seen the positive effects of it this week.
