Samuel Montembeault Loses It, Breaks His Stick After Being Pulled Against the Seattle Kraken
For the second time in a few days, goaltender Samuel Montembeault was pulled from the game by head coach Martin St-Louis.
Normally, Samuel always stays calm even when things go poorly, but tonight, for a rare moment, he let out his frustration, and his stick paid the price.
A Game That Didn't Go as Planned for Samuel Montembeault Against the Seattle Kraken
See the footage.
It's understandable to be frustrated with how things have turned out, especially after what happened against the New York Rangers a few days ago.
Samuel Montembeault allowed 5 goals on 10 shots, and the worst part is that most of them were shots he really should have stopped.
Whether it was the goal by young defenseman Ryker Evans
Or the one by Brandon Montour
These are shots that an NHL goaltender is expected to stop.
You can imagine that his consistency will be questioned again by some experts, and if Montembeault has too many performances like this, we might see a change in the Canadiens' net (especially if Cayden Primeau performs well).
And in your opinion, who should be in net for the next game?
Do you believe Samuel Montembeault has what it takes to lead the Montreal Canadiens to the playoffs?
I still strongly believe in the potential of number 35, but it's true he needs to limit performances like this as much as possible, because unfortunately, he didn't give his team any chance to win tonight.
Before the game against Seattle, the 27-year-old Montembeault had a goals-against average of 2.94 this season, with a save percentage of 0.914.
I trust he'll come back strong! We know just how dominant he can be.
Details to follow.
