WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING:

"Many believe he was one of the top three goaltenders last year, after Dan Blackburn and Pascal Leclaire. The Stars did and selected him late in the first round. He is extremely athletic and competitive and always shows up for the big games. Great reflexes and physical attributes." (The Sports Forecaster 2001-02, p. 204)

"Eyebrows were raised when the Stars used their first pick last season on a goaltender from the North American League. Bacashihua is making the gamble look like a good one. Playing with Ontario League power Plymouth, Bacashihua ranks among the goalie leaders in almost every major category in his first major junior season. "He has been better than the numbers," said Plymouth coach-GM Mike Vellucci. "He's a very mature goaltender. He has been everything we could have asked for."" (Chuck Carlton, The Hockey News Future Watch 2002)

"Bacashihua made his OHL debut last year and put on a dominating performance, ranking second in goals-against average with 2.34 and second in save percentage with .921. Answered questions about his consistency and showed that he's a top prospect at the position. He recorded a 2.86 goals-against average and a .891 save percentage at the world juniors with the USA." (The Sports Forecaster 2002-03, p. 198)

"In a span of 18 months, Bacashihua has jumped to the AHL from the North American League. The Stars like his competitiveness and athleticism. In one recent start, Bacashihua made 51 saves for Utah in a 2-2 tie with Worcester. "He's still a kid, but he's making good steps with his game," said Les Jackson, the Stars' director of hockey operations. "He's moving fast." Bacashihua has benefited from the presence of Stars' goaltender coach Andy Moog." (Chuck Carlton, The Hockey News Future Watch 2003, p. 25)
