Samuel Montembeault had a rough finish to the night in Boston, and Eric Engels had plenty to say about it on social media.
Let’s just say the messages directed at Martin St-Louis were numerous on social media following the Bruins’ third and fourth goals.
The loss to the Boston Bruins hurts in the standings and shakes the confidence inside the locker room.
The Quebec goaltender allowed goals he has to stop if he wants to remain the undisputed number one.
Eric Engels of Sportsnet didn’t mince his words on social media during Saturday’s game.
Will the message be heard by Martin St-Louis?
You can feel massive frustration among observers watching the team waste strong offensive efforts.
The journalist first pointed to a goal that Monty simply had no business allowing.
You can clearly sense the discouragement in Engels’ comments as Boston took control of the game.
It seems to confirm that patience is wearing thin when it comes to the play in net.
Martin St-Louis now has to make a decision between Jakub Dobes and Samuel Montembeault, once again!
Jakub Dobes, 24, drafted in the fifth round in 2020, has been patiently waiting for his turn to become the number one.
The big Czech netminder finally looks ready to take the next step after his strong performances early in the season.
Montembeault’s goals-against average is starting to seriously worry the team’s management.
Martin St-Louis has always protected his players, but Engels’ message is impossible to ignore.
With the trade deadline approaching, goaltending management is becoming Kent Hughes’ top priority, or at least a very important one.
And you, what’s your opinion on all of this?
