And, you know, the one thing I would say, guys, is that when you go back, even over the last 30-plus years, it's happened before where young goalies have won Stanley Cups.
Patrick Waugh was 20 when he won his first Stanley Cup.
Dryden was 23.
Matt Murray, when he won in 2016, was just 22.
Cam Ward was 22 when he won with Carolina in 06.
Bennington was 25, but he was a young 25.
He just got called up in 2019.
If you have the right insulation around top-performing, confident goalies, you have a chance.
Dobish guys, since the Olympics, 11-4-0, 9-20 save percentage.
A plus 11 expected, third best in the NHL.
Fowler, plus seven expected.
Both goalies in the top 10.
There's a lot here, boys.
Fowler, 918 save percentage.
These are both top 10 goalies since the Olympic break in every category.
And you watch these guys play, and they're playing with a lot of confidence.
Fowler, to me, the reason why I say that
he has that perfect representation is because his feet are always under him, always secure, never getting too wide and spread out, never getting stuck on the pass, always hovering over the puck.
And I feel like he's been good for Dobish because two months ago, Dobish was in the tank.
And one of the goalies I coach here in Connecticut, his favorite team is Montreal.
