Ngl that’s like the worst thing he could’ve said. Just take the L, say you need to do better and move on. Talking about “no need to look at the stats”…my man, I’m your biggest supporter but you’re not looking good this year, stats or eye test.
FIRE HIM TO THE SUN
He’s basically saying: “you guys should chill”
Montembut! Fuck i miss Price, he definitely spoiled us, but the statistics say that he’s not even a mediocre goalie.
Bring me back to the good days where Fowler and Dobes was our tandem. They take accountability at least

# Montembeault stays the course
There’s been a lot of talk about goalkeepers lately. Specifically, about THE goalkeeper, in this case Samuel Montembeault. After allowing two goals in 12 seconds Saturday night in Boston, the fury of some internet users was once again unleashed against the goalkeeper on social media, where, unfortunately, the heirs of Gustave Flaubert and Hubert Reeves are few and far between.
The Quebec goalie admitted that he could have stopped Fraser Minten’s shot that tied the game 3-3 in the last match, but stated at the same time that against Buffalo and even on the other goals against Boston, these are goals on which I can’t do much .
“You shouldn’t look too much at the statistics. I’m continuing to work ,” he added.
TL;DR – What u/goldenmunky said.
Yikes. Well good for him to think like that.
How can people defend this? He’s delusional about his performances.
Entendre un gardien de la LNH dire que ce n’est pas sa faute, c’est tout simplement scandaleux. Assume tes responsabilités ou tu vas continuer à faire les mêmes conneries. Il faut le virer ou tu risques bien plus que la saison.
« je suis le meilleur gardien de la LNH, tant que vous ignorez toutes les statistiques, et les informations qui prouvent le contraire… »
Yikes
Shouldve worked on your game in the offseason. Not trying shit out during a season your getting paid to win. When the team is trying to go to the next level. Oh well, Montemblow aint part of the future either way. No wonder why Florida waived him
Got no problem with this. You guys expecting a goalie to stop everything and when he doesn’t you tear his ass up. Go look at the breakdowns and go look how atrocious our pk is. Realize we aren’t a top of the line team. We are the youngest
Alright, let’s see how this plays out
Il niase là c’est sur
Oui, certains de ces tirs sont difficiles à arrêter. Mais c’est le lot des gardiens de but de la LNH. Pris individuellement, nombre de ces matchs sont excusables. Mais quand cela se répète match après match, il est plus que légitime de s’interroger sur ses performances.
Alors oui, Monty, ces deux matchs sont discutables. Mais la saison entière ne l’est pas. Tu n’as pas été relégué en LAH à cause d’un manque de chance.
You guys certainly love to pick on a guy every year. I’m sure that helps them perform . Some fans should be ashamed
Attitude de winner
Il aurait dû arrêter deux des trois buts ! Sur celui marqué dans le dos de la défense, il était à plus de deux mètres de son but ! Et sur le but marqué de la ligne bleue, il aurait dû l’arrêter.
He’s rage baiting 💀
While his teammates go out of their way to be polite, this guy is out here not taking accountability and saying “just ignore my terrible stats” lol
Bruuuuutal.
The relief I’ll feel when this guy is in a different jersey will be immense.

Imaginez le jeu plus décontracté de l’équipe si elle savait qu’elle n’avait pas à marquer 5 buts à chaque fois que Monty est dans les buts. Échangez-le maintenant.
Mentalité de perdant. J’ai hâte que ce bon à rien disparaisse.
Listen. If you aren’t playing well and playing a rival. Why not hit them or show some emotion. I’d tell the fans I understand zi wasn’t good. The next game I’d go out and try to fight and show aggression. If I’m going to lose I’m going to at least show emotion
Monty is in the top 5 of the worst regular goaltenders of the past 25 years.
I want to like him as much as anyone else, but he’s a career 2nd/3rd goalie who had one good season and one very good half season with the Habs. Over a large sample size, the results are what they are. Since 2000, he’s near the bottom in career SV% and bottom-five in GAA among goalies with 100+ starts, and unlike most guys on those lists, he actually played 200+ games. That’s not bad luck, that’s just who he is basically.
You can factor in team quality all you want, but context doesn’t erase two decades of compiled numbers. He’s not awful every night, but he’s also just not good enough to be a starting goalie for a serious contending team.
Basically he is passing the buck, get him to laval or three rivers
My problem with this isn’t if he’s right or wrong. It’s that as a top level athlete, he has an extremely flawed mentality. And it’s 100% the reason why he’s struggling this year.
Does anyone think Price ever thought like this? Do you think McDavid thinks like this? Ofcourse not. They always take 100% responsibility, even if it isn’t theirs, because that’s how they improve. You aim for perfection, that’s how you compete at the highest level.
