As we reported earlier today, the young Montreal Canadiens goaltender, Jakub Dobes, had a strong emotional reaction after the game.
Following his team's overtime loss to the New Jersey Devils, Dobes became very emotional during his postgame press conference and took full responsibility for the Canadiens' defeat.
Following this emotional moment, Martin St-Louis delivered a message during his own press conference when reporters asked him about the situation.
Martin St-Louis and his staff will meet with Jakub Dobes to talk
Clearly, Canadiens management wants to talk to Dobes so that he doesn't put so much pressure on himself.
"Jakub Dobes very emotional in his postgame media availability holding back tears; he is taking the OT loss squarely on his shoulders."

And Martin St-Louis' response:
"Everybody handles situations differently and he took it hard; it's probably a big reason why he's at this level, he's probably demanding of himself... we'll talk to Dobes, he's played really well for us."
