Major statement from Jake Allen regarding Sam Montembeault and all fans need to see this
As you know, a few weeks ago, goaltender Jake Allen was injured, and since then, young Samuel Montembeault seems to have stolen his number one spot.
This can obviously be a frustrating situation for a goaltender, and in the last few hours, Allen has broken his silence for the first time on the subject.
His answers were incredible and proved that he is the real deal!
A must see:
Jake Allen on Sam Montembeault: "As you can see right now, Sam is on a roll, he's on fire and I'm super happy for him. He's probably been the best in the league the last few weeks."
"Sam is a really good goalie; I knew that as soon as I saw him last year. I'm glad he's getting a chance to really open his eyes."
"Sam has fit in well with this group - this group that wants to take this team to the next level where the Montreal Canadiens want to go. He could really be their goalie of the future."
"To see Sam play like that - and being a Quebecer, it's even more important to him so it's really impressive."
"I really want to see him finish the season on a high note and continue to improve. I don't think he should be satisfied with that - I think there's a high ceiling for him ... when he plays well, you can see how good he can be."
"Every time I go in front of the net - I don't know when yet - but I'll get there and be myself ... I want Sam to keep rolling and be on fire. If Sam keeps rolling and playing as much, it's better for this team so that's how I approach it..."
"Anytime they tell me to play, I'll be ready to play and the same thing for Sam. Like I said; it's all about the team right now and that's what Marty St. Louis preaches and I see it that way too.... It's the team, the number one priority."
"I understand the situation, I'm realistic - I'm not going to be the goalie of the future, but at the same time I want to see this team succeed whether it's Sam Montembeault, Cole Caufield, Suzy Nick Suzuki or whoever it is... I want them to win for a long time!"
