The Montreal Canadiens' goaltending situation continues to generate a lot of discussion early this season.
And clearly, Josh Anderson hears everything being said about his goaltenders. Last night, after the loss to the Colorado Avalanche (wearing Quebec Nordiques colors), he'd had enough and delivered his message.

In his view, it's the players who need to do more to help their masked men. Here's an excerpt of what he had to say, and let's just say his message and tone were very clear.
"We felt confident coming in," Canadiens forward Josh Anderson said.
"Obviously, tough bounce on the second goal. We didn't like the call, but we go down 2-0 and then 3-0. We got to find ways to help out Dobes tonight. I mean, none of those goals are his fault. It's on us as players to be harder to play against."

Here, he was speaking specifically about Jakub Dobes, but his message applies to Samuel Montembeault as well.
Also, regarding the goaltenders and what happened yesterday: remember that St-Louis chose not to pull Dobes because he was protecting the renewed confidence of Samuel Montembeault.
I'm curious to see what happens next, but I fully expect Samuel Montembeault to be in net for the Canadiens' next game.
In the end, last night in Colorado, Jakub Dobes allowed 7 goals on 36 shots, but it's true that the players in front of him didn't help much to stop the bleeding.
