It sparked a lot of chatter on social media today, but there really was a mystery goalie in Brossard this morning with the Montreal Canadiens players.
Some suggested it was David Savard, dressed in Samuel Montembeault's gear, but I had a hard time believing it.
In the end, according to witnesses, it really was Savard! Wow!
Here's the confirmation:
David Savard Becomes One-Day Goalie for the Montreal Canadiens
We already knew he was excellent at blocking shots, but let's just say we were more used to seeing him block them with player equipment!
We know Savard wants to play a new role for the Tricolore, having just retired as a defenseman, but we never could have guessed it would be THIS new role!
All jokes aside, it was really nice to see him having fun with the Habs players, and it made for a great little moment in Brossard on what was a day off for many!
Savard wasn't the only special guest in Brossard today: We had an unexpected visit from Lane Hutson's girlfriend on this Labour Day.
A great day for our Habs players!
Savard, 34, collected 15 points in 75 games last season, with 36 penalty minutes and a -8 plus/minus rating.
In his NHL career, he recorded 242 points in 870 games (including 54 goals) along with 467 penalty minutes.
