We can say that the absence of Carey Price has allowed everyone to finally see the real Samuel Montembeault. In a recent article by Anthony Martineau of TVA Sports, the goaltender opened up on nine topics, including Carey Price.
Not only does he have great respect for the veteran goalie, but he is even more impressed to see that this respect is shared by all his teammates.
Wow! We knew Carey was highly respected by his teammates, but this much is a surprise.
It's almost unheard of.
Montembeault said he would love to take over from Price as the club's number one goalie. It would be a dream come true to follow in the footsteps of 31!
Interestingly, the young goaltender is not shy about saying that he likes the consistency of the players in front of him but would like to see them take fewer penalties. The CH is the 4th most penalized team with 411 penalty minutes, 125 of which are minor penalties.
Regarding the next trade deadline, Montembeault had only one request to his GM. It would be surprising if it came true...
