Player Discussion Sam "Dikembe" Montembeault

Gotta tip your cap to sam.

59 games played shatters his personal record including his time in the Q, and his numbers are actually trending in the right direction.

He's going to hit 60 games which would have sounded absurd to me at the start of the year, and he's generally been dependable despite the high demand on him.
 
Hard work and commitment to improve. This is great development and he deserves credit for how he has performed! He was great at the WHC as well.. that’s where he started to change my mind

Not a top 10 NHL starter but certainly in the 11-32 discussion. We can win with Monty if we have scoring/team D

Montreal fans don’t understand what having a mere mortal as #1 goaltender. Yeah he’s not Price, but he has a better team in front of him. He’s good enough for this team right now.
I didn’t want to go down this path, but I fully agree.

Montreal fans were brainwashed for decades into believing that our only hope was an elite goalie playing at a lights out level, dragging a team of underdog scrappers to achieve something.

Meanwhile, in that time, several powerhouse teams have won cups with goalies who came nowhere near the level of Price.
 
Haters just dont watch hockey. Hes a mid range starter in the NHL. People are used to Price, theres no Price in the NHL right now.
Yeah that's how I feel, I will forever STFU regarding Sam, he's a great guy trying his best to help this team.

Sometimes I forget that nobody cant match Price in the league and it's unfair to compare him to Carey.

I have wrote this too many times to remember ; A mid-range goalie , or a ‘good enough’ goalie on a hot streak is all you need to win a cup. What you really need is elite talent upfront , solid physical defensemen and great leadership from veterans.
This organisation was so blinded and in love with Price’s elite talent, they thought they forgot to build a solid foundation around him.
On our 2021 Stanley cup run, we had a hot goalie, great physical D, great leadership,but lacked elite talent upfront.
Fortunately, things have changed with the new management; they are smart enough to know you dont build a team with a goalie as your franchise player.

It wasn’t just a Price thing; Monty has yet to play at the Level of Theodore’s peak or Halak’s.

This goes back to the Roy trade and attempting to replace him with Thibault.
 
6 straight games over .910, 5 straight W.

Now .903 on the season. Respect! This deserve a ghibli edit
