If it wasn’t already, it’s clear now that MSL only trusts Montembeault to win. He seems done with Primeau. I’m not sure what HuGo thinks.

Furthermore, MSL is getting really annoyed with the whole backup goaltending issue. There was a very public spat with the press on the topic with a “Tabarnouche!” sprinkled in.

MSL is now in a fighting tooth and nail for each point mode. If you’re HuGo what do you do?

Need something because doubt Monty can go it alone rest of season.

Surprised by collapse of Primeau. He had a good college career and outstanding WJC. Last season he had a .909% save percentage with bad defense in front of him. Looked like he was maturing, then fell apart this season. It's odd.

Wouldn't be surprised to see a trade for a backup pretty quick after the trade freeze ends.

I see it more as they want to be classy and not put CP on waivers just before Christmas. After they probably will and call up someone.
