Монреаль Канадиенс багийн хаалгач Жейкоб Фоулер Торонто Мэйпл Лифс багийн эсрэг хийсэн тоглолтод ер бусын саадтай нүүр тулсан ч 26 хаалт хийж, багтаа 4-2-ын харьцаатай ялалт авчирлаа.
Тоглолтын хоёрдугаар үед хөгжөөн дэмжигчдийн нэг нь талбай руу ногоон алим шидсэн нь хаалгач Жейкоб Фоулерийн өмнөхөн унасан байна. Шүүгч Т.Ж.Люксмор тухайн зүйлийг авч, тоглолт түр завсарлах үеэр хаалгачид үзүүлсэн бөгөөд Фоулер тоглолтын дараа өгсөн ярилцлагадаа энэ нь карьерийнх нь туршид тохиолдсон анхны сонин тохиолдол болохыг онцолжээ. Тэрээр шүүгчтэй хошигнохдоо хэрэв уг алим тоглолтод саад болсон бол гоол тооцогдох эсэхийг асуусан байна.
I hoped this was referee JT Luxmore’s own apple from his pocket, but, unfortunately, that’s not true.

Монреаль Канадиенс энэхүү ялалтаар 10 тоглолт дараалан оноо авсан амжилтаа үргэлжлүүлж байгаа юм. Тоглолтын хувьд Алекс Ньюхук хоёр гоол оруулж, Крис Крайдер болон Закари Болдук нар нэмэлт гоолуудыг бүртгүүлжээ. Торонто Мэйпл Лифс багийн хувьд Уильям Нюландер, Гавин Маккенна нар гоол оруулсан боловч сүүлийн таван тоглолтынхоо дөрөвт нь хожигдоод байна.
“It’s so surreal. I still feel like a little kid every time I get to put on the gear. It’s so special to play in this organization.”

21 настай хаалгач Жейкоб Фоулер NHL-ийн улирлын эхлэлийг 8-1-1 гэсэн амжилттай үргэлжлүүлж байгаа бөгөөд талбай дээрх тайван байдлаа хадгалсаар байна. Торонто Мэйпл Лифс багийн хувьд тоглолтын туршид тогтвортой тоглолтоо үзүүлж чадахгүй байгаа нь тэдний хувьд хүндрэлтэй асуудал хэвээр байна.

Jacob Fowler has faced plenty of oddities in his young NHL career, but tracking a green apple sailing toward his crease mid-play was a first.
During the second period of Saturday’s Original Six matchup at Scotiabank Arena, a fan launched a small green apple, later confirmed to be fake, from the stands, sending it skidding onto the ice right in front of the Montreal Canadiens goaltender while play was live. Referee T.J. Luxmore collected the object, pocketed it, and later produced it during a stoppage, holding it up near Fowler in a moment that left the broadcast booth and viewers doing double-takes.
“I was pretty dialled in but I saw an apple come on the ice right in front of me. I’m used to tracking a black puck not a green apple,” Fowler told Sportsnet’s Kyle Bukauskas afterward, laughing. “I saw that one and (Luxmore) told me he would have blown the play dead if they had gotten in the zone so thankfully they didn’t get one there.”
The 21-year-old American, who stopped 26 shots in Montreal’s 4-2 victory, confirmed to reporters that a fan had thrown it directly at him.

“It’s the first time that’s happened to me. It was thrown right at me,” he told reporters in the visiting locker room.
Fowler, still relatively new to the league’s quirks, handled the moment with the same poise he’s shown throughout a strong start (8-1-1). He joked with the official about the hypothetical.

“As a young player, I try to stay in the good graces of the referees. I always ask them how it’s going. He showed me what it was. I asked him if the goal would have counted if they scored. He said, ‘We’ll see!’” Fowler recounted.
The incident occurred amid a game in which the Canadiens extended their point streak to 10 games. Alex Newhook scored twice, Chris Kreider and Zachary Bolduc added goals, and Fowler held firm after Toronto cut a 3-0 deficit to 3-2 early in the third. William Nylander and Gavin McKenna scored for the Maple Leafs, who have dropped four of five.
The incident didn’t help Toronto in any manner as they continue to struggle to find a way to play their game for a full 60 minutes.
