It gave us a good laugh, created a beautiful television moment, and once again highlighted the amazing atmosphere in the Canadiens' locker room right now (and it shows on the ice).

Moreover, just like on the ice, Dobes managed to stay focused throughout the TVA Sports interview, which is an achievement in itself.

Last night, Jakub Dobes stopped 22 of the 23 shots he faced in a 2-1 shootout win for the Montreal Canadiens against a Colorado team that was on a strong winning streak.
