Sad News Confirmed Involving Samuel Montembeault From Top Insider Pierre LeBrun
In the past few hours, sad news has emerged involving the Montreal Canadiens goaltender Samuel Montembeault.
We have already learned, in the past few hours, that Montembeault has been relegated to the role of third goaltender and is unlikely to even be in uniform for Canada.
He is likely to watch 100% of the games from the stands at the Bell Centre.
Despite this, he has maintained a great attitude, even becoming emotional in an interview when explaining how much it means to him to be part of Team Canada after a difficult start to his career.
When you think about it, he went from NHL waivers to a spot on Team Canada. That makes him extremely proud, and rightfully so!
However, sad news broke in the past few hours, just a few hours before the tournament started, and I find it so humiliating for Sam.
I understand that the journalist was doing his job, but if I put myself in Samuel's shoes, I find this extremely unfortunate.
A journalist reveals that Team Canada regrets selecting Samuel Montembeault
What a great way to completely burst his bubble, right in the middle of the tournament and while all his Canadian teammates will see this news.
LeBrun adds that if they could do it over again, the Canadian executives would instead select MacKenzie Blackwood of the Colorado Avalanche.
I understand that LeBrun was doing his job, but I find it really sad for Sam, who will probably read this..
