Chicago Blackhawks: Huge statement on Samuel Montembeault and the Montreal Canadiens from their coach, Jimmy Waite
As Kent Hughes and the Montreal Canadiens are currently trying to build a lineup that can compete for championships for a long time, one question keeps coming up.
Is Samuel Montembeault the long-term solution in the Canadiens' net? Does he have what it takes to be one of the best goalies in the world?
The Chicago Blackhawks seem to believe so.
This week, their goaltending expert, Jimmy Waite, made a massive statement about the young Montembeault.
Following the Quebec goalie's performance at the World Championship, here's what Waite had to say:
"It confirmed that he's among the elite! Let's face it."
Wow! Nothing less than elite, and according to a true expert!
It will be interesting to watch Montembeault's work and evolution over the coming months, but one thing is for sure, it's very promising to hear such things.
