Blues will use 21 yr. old, 6'7" goaltender

Holy s***, that play-by-play guy during the Big Ben fight has one of the most annoying voices I've ever heard.

Stephen Valiquette is 6'6" and he is doing just fine.

I've always been a fan of Big Valley, but it's taken a long, long, LONG time for him to crack an NHL line-up, even as a back-up.

Not as highly touted as Jimmy and Jimmy hasn't cracked the NHL either.

I'm not saying he doesn't have any skills. I'm sure its not all size.

but if he was some wonder kid like say Carey Price, then he would be in the NHL right now, he is 21.

Price is the real deal.

I never said he was a wonder kid, I just said it is not only his freakish height that has him in the NHL, whether or not J-Ho is playing now has nothing to do with how he was scouted. Howard was touted as a can't miss future NHL starting goaltender. Ben Bishop is not touted as such, that was my only statement. Your original post made it seem you thought he was only there to be a freakshow.
