Let's talk a bit about the goaltenders of the Montreal Canadiens, Samuel Montembeault and Jakub Dobes. They really deserve their share of credit for the team's recent success, and Dobes' arrival has truly changed everything.

It has changed everything, obviously because the new second goaltender for the Canadiens is now very solid and more than capable of winning games, but it has also changed everything for Samuel Montembeault.

Dobes is pushing Montembeault to surpass himself, and we can clearly see that in the last few games.

Yes, the competition is rising between the two goaltenders, it's inevitable, but it's also so healthy, and it's the best gift Dobes can give to Montembeault.

He pushed him from behind and pushes him to be better.

Jakub Dobes makes a big gesture towards Samuel Montembeault, by pushing him to be better and showing him the greatest respect in the press conference

Dobes is fully aware of Samuel's importance to this team and acts as a true teammate to him, in addition to providing real competition.

This is the definition of a perfectly healthy and competitive relationship between two goaltenders.

It's excellent for the Montreal Canadiens.

«Montembeault being pushed by Dobes.. figures: "I better up my game." He does just that. Healthy competition is very much a positive.»

Grant McCagg

Let's hope it continues this way, but for now, we really couldn't ask for more from our two goaltenders.
