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