St-Louis makes it clear who he thinks is really at fault despite Montembeault's struggles

Unfortunately, it has practically become a routine during Martin St-Louis' press conferences, but once again he was repeatedly questioned about his level of confidence in Montembeault.

His message hasn't changed.

Another major vote of confidence for the Quebec-born goaltender.

We recall that earlier this month, during a similar press conference, Martin St-Louis mentioned that he doesn't necessarily believe in the two-goalie system, or rather that he truly believes a team should have one goaltender capable of carrying most of the workload...

And he added that, in his opinion, that goalie is Samuel Montembeault.

Well, on Tuesday night, following the loss to the Los Angeles Kings, the same question came up again, and once again St-Louis gave a clear vote of confidence to Monty.

Instead, he placed the blame on the players and the team in front of Montembeault:

Let's just say it's quite the contrast with the following statement:

We'll see how it unfolds, but for now, the Montreal Canadiens' head coach continues to confirm and reiterate his confidence in his number-one goaltender from Bécancour (even if Dobes will be between the pipes tonight).

Samuel Montembeault, 29, is a 6-foot-3, 218-pound goaltender with a 4-4-1 record this season with the Canadiens, a 3.52 goals-against average, and a .861 save percentage.
