I would never underestimate Team Canada "braintrust" to make a wrong selection.

They don't exactly have a multitude of choices for this, the main competition are Hill and Skinner because Canadian goaltending fell off a cliff when no one was looking. Anyway it's just the Bettman Cup v2.0, it's not like it's supposed to be important.

They have him signed for another 3 seasons after this one.

Oh yeah I know, I meant after that. Like once his contract is over I don’t see him staying in Ottawa. I think he’ll walk and go somewhere competitive.

At least his brother told the Flames I won’t resign and worked out a sign and trade that got them that haul.

So happy that we finally ended this awful slump against Ottawa.

2 solid periods out of 3 and no goal given in their bad one.

Monty was even better than against the Leafs IMO. What a start for him.

I liked Newhook tonight, especially in the 3rd.
He's such a great skater.

Hutson with another great game.

Much better game for Suzuki. I think his preseason is over 😀

CC 4 goals in 3 games is nice to see especially since we know the 1st line can be better .
Slaf and Kirby still getting their game legs under them.
I think we can be better than what we showed tonight.

Montembeault is the 33rd highest paid goalie this year absolute great value.
This is exactly why giving over 10% of your cap to a starting goalie is a dumb idea. The difference between a good goalie and an elite goalie is negligible. But one is paid 5 mil more. This isn't cope but id rather have money at below 4 mil than seayman at above 8 mil

He lest the ice in the 2nd period for a while and came back which is why his TOI is so low.
He didn't play the 4v4 in 2nd (he played one regular shift after it before going to the room) and he's one of two players who sat the Sens empty net.

Just look at the last 15 cup winners. Almost always a good goalie playing a bit above his head or decently enough
