Sam Montembeault Makes a Big Request to Canadiens Coaching Staff Regarding Jakub Dobes
At a press conference earlier today, goaltender Samuel Montembeault made an interesting statement involving Jakub Dobes. Montembeault once again demonstrated just how great a teammate he is.
He has just given the green light to his bosses to play his young teammate more.

These are words that Monty said in front of reporters earlier today, and I absolutely think it's worth mentioning.

Samuel Montembeault sends a strong message regarding Jakub Dobes
Here's a more complete excerpt of his statement.

What a great attitude and what a good teammate!
To listen to the full press conferences, it's right here (Samuel Montembeault's starts around the sixth minute).
I thought this statement from Montembeault, and about Dobes, was absolutely worth mentioning, because not every single goaltender would react this way to the emergence of a young goalie pushing from behind.
