It was really touching to see what happened in the Montreal Canadiens locker room last night, especially involving goaltender Samuel Montembeault.

Some of the Habs players were clearly not in a good mood - not only because of the loss, but also because of what happened with their goalie...
It was really great to see some of the quieter players (normally) raise their voices and speak from the heart about what happened.
Yes, this team stands together!
Yes, the guys are 100% behind their goaltender, and they really didn't like what happened at the Bell Centre.

Noah Dobson and Zachary Bolduc speak from the heart

Defenseman Noah Dobson said this...
"He was our best player [on Tuesday night]," said Noah Dobson.

Meanwhile, Bolduc added:
"When I realized they were applauding after he made a save... it wasn't something fun to see, even when you're not the one involved," said Bolduc.

He made it very clear:
"He showed character and great mental strength. He helped us throughout the game," he added in praise."

It's really wonderful to see a team that stands together like this - and quite something that two of the newest players were the fiercest in defending Samuel.
This beautiful culture of family and wolf pack mentality is truly contagious!
Let's not forget that Martin St-Louis also addressed what really happened with Montembeault on the Habs bench last night.
"When I hear that, I feel empathy. I just hope he can trust his training and stay in his bubble." - Martin St-Louis

So it's widespread... and we love to see it!
