Stoever

[Wannabe2]

Big shout out to this young man, he is one good netminder and so good to watch, we are so lucky to have two top class keepers. Whoever plays we look very good in this position, really like him and hope he re-signs for next season.

If we keep both for next season could we see a slight changing of the guard.

No disrespect to Bownsy but i think Stoever is the better netminder in terms of his overall game

Stoever is the better overall goalie now. He can do it all, his puck handling is superb. No disrespect to Bowns. But I think Stoever is going to be huge for us.

Stoever must be at the top of the re-signing list for next season. He’s young, he’s very good technically, sound temperament and by all accounts great in the dressing room. We are lucky to have two strong goalies, but for me Stoever is the number one now.

Looks like we’ve finally found someone we are happy to pair with Bowns.
Back him and get him here and make him part of the future.
He’s a better puck handler/player which isn’t part of Bowns game he stays on his feet for longer to which helps when he needs to make the second or third save.

Stoever has done very well in his first season as a pro for us and hopefully he will be back next season to improve even further.

But for me Bowns is still No. 1 and will be next season too.

Maybe so but we can’t keep burning through other-backup netminders after a season or two.

It’s time to look further out than that.

In Stoever we’ve found someone young and more than able. Hopefully the club back him, mentor and nurture him for the future.

We’ve probably already got a reputation with agents and netminders that if you go to Cardiff you’ll be playing second fiddle, hard to attract top talent experienced talent then.

We've seen it with Richie this year, age catches up and the drop off is steep. Especially with netminder sightings and reactions.

I agree that Bowns is still No. 1 until the end of the season, but I think 26/27 onwards we need to transition to a 60/40 ish split with Stoever taking the bulk of games. Hes shown he is more than capable and we must put faith in him with Bowns getting on

Best thing is if he’s single, go out and find him a lovely Cardiff girl too keep him in town

Did hear a rumour that nxt season could be Bownsies last year before retiring

But don't let him go near the castle.

Keep him single dont need distractions yet , he has settled in well and pretty sure he will get a few years with us , best backup we've had in years
