I think the overall numbers to this point are more indicative as to the strengths of the 2 goalies. You have to remember that Michaud is only a freshmen while LaRochelle is a junior. LaRochelle's GAA soared last year as the season wore on - I would expect no different pattern this year! He is fundamentally one of the worst looking goaltenders I have ever seen. I beg to differ that he was outstanding against Northeastern - he was adequate at best. There is not doubt in my mind that Umile will have no problem pulling him for Matile just like he pulled Cavicchi last year for LaRochelle. -kct
