At a press conference earlier today, goaltender Samuel Montembeault made an interesting statement involving Jakub Dobes. Montembeault once again demonstrated just how great a teammate he is.
He has just given the green light to his bosses to play his young teammate more.
«Doby deserves to play more.»

These are words that Monty said in front of reporters earlier today, and I absolutely think it's worth mentioning.
It says so much about Sam.
Samuel Montembeault sends a strong message regarding Jakub Dobes
Here's a more complete excerpt of his statement.
Let's mention that it wasn't even the reporters who brought up the topic; Montembeault himself decided to bring it up.
«Right now, Doby is playing really well, and it's important that both of us continue and always give the team a chance to win.»

He then added this:
«It's going to give me a little more rest, and he's playing well too, so he deserves to play more.
With the busy schedule this year and all the traveling, I think we'll be able to share that well, you know, like this weekend, we have another two games in two nights coming up.»

What a great attitude and what a good teammate!
To listen to the full press conferences, it's right here (Samuel Montembeault's starts around the sixth minute).
I thought this statement from Montembeault, and about Dobes, was absolutely worth mentioning, because not every single goaltender would react this way to the emergence of a young goalie pushing from behind.
