It's the name on everyone's lips today at the Montreal Canadiens, after his memorable performance last night, and it's so deserved for Samuel Montembeault.

He started from afar, he worked so hard, and he has come such a long way since he was claimed off waivers in the NHL to become the 3rd goalie for the CH.

Last night, in a press conference after the victory against the New York Rangers, Montembeault was asked if he remembers what people were saying about him when he arrived at the Canadiens via waivers.

"Most of them said I was at best an AHL goalie when I got here," Montembeault said. "When I bought my house in Trois-Rivières, people said it was perfect because it would be perfect and close for playing in the ECHL (with the Trois-Rivières Lions)."
