Following the announcement, CHN's Mike McMahon tweeted: "In my opinion, the most underrated goalie in the country. Big pickup for BU."

Caron was second team All-Ivy and third-team All-ECAC. More on the blog.

Huge addition. He was top 10 in the nation in SV% on a terrible Brown team.

I mentioned to a sports writer friend that sees a lot of college hockey in Rhode Island and Massachusetts that the Brown goalie Caron was headed to BU.
"Best college goalie I have seen in several years!"
I said, 'don't you mean Devin Levi?'
He said, "no, Caron is the best that I have seen in quite awhile. Great glove. He was tremendous, but few know about him because he was playing at Brown."

The sports writer is not one to practice hyperbole. I feel much better, because I trust his opinion.

Promising to hear. It will be a big jump up in competition compared to he played against at Brown.

What's your problem?

Here is Caron's record broken out vs Hockey East (Jofa missed BC) and the top ECAC teams he faced and other teams, as well as Commesso's record:

Mathieu Caron
	Minutes	SvsPG	SV%	GAA
vs HE / top ECAC	660:47:00	32	0.912	3.09
vs rest	785:43:00	23	0.929	1.76
overall	1446:30:00	29	0.921	2.49
Commesso	1924:26:00	25.6	0.912	2.46

So, Caron's save percentage vs HE and the top ECAC teams was the same as Commesso's, while his goals against average was half a goal higher. However, he also faced more shots per game than Commesso did.

My point is it’s a jump up in competition. Caron would be 19th in GAA which is next to last based on those stats. I haven’t seen him play but I think they need also need to bring in another competent goalie to give him some competition.

If Nick Zababneh’s injury never healed, he could’ve joined the band and been at every game!!
