The Montreal Canadiens are without a doubt the surprise of the year in the National Hockey League.
Very few experts expected them to be where they are right now.
Not only have the Canadiens surprised the fans, but I'm convinced they've also surprised management.
I say it often, but there's something special happening in that locker room, and it largely explains the team's success.
A team on a mission for the playoffs
In a press conference last night, goaltender
Jakub Dobes sent a strong message, especially to management.
Basically, it meant: "Hold onto your hats, because we're ready for the playoffs!"
Reporter: "The 1st period was tough. What does it say about the group that you were able to bounce back after this?"
Jakub Dobes: "That we are ready for the playoffs."
Jakub Dobes is extremely grateful for the opportunity given to him by Martin St-Louis, Kent Hughes, Jeff Gorton, and company
His attitude is incredible.
Jakub Dobes: "I'm happy everyday that I'm here. There are only 64 goalies in this league. I'm one of them."
Reporter: "Is it a challenge to stay ready?"
Jakub Dobes: "I mean, is it? I don't think so. I'm living the dream. I don't know how many people wanna be in my shoes.."
For the full pressers, it's right here.
