Habs players, as well as head coach Martin St-Louis , rallied around Samuel Montembeault following Tuesday's loss versus the Kings.
ICYMI:Montembeault had a hard time versus the Kings, as evidenced by his hesitancy to freeze a puck in the second period. Rather than covering it up while the Montreal Canadiens were hemmed in, Montembeault attempted a pass, which landed directly on Kevin Fiala 's stick. However, it should be said that the entire team struggled against Los Angeles, putting together one of their worst efforts of the year. [ Kings Dominate Canadiens in Frustrating Match Up ]
It's one thing to be frustrated with a professional athlete, but it's another all together to send them hate messages on social media. Don't be that person, no one likes that person. On a related note, Montembeault had to delete his Instagram account.
Jakub Dobes , who is currently one of the best goaltenders in the NHL, was quick to defend his teammate.
Dobes also addressed a question regarding potential chirps, following his emotional reaction after a loss last week.
Former Hab Petr Svoboda is auctioning his Stanley cup ring from 1986 to raise money for charity. At last check, the highest bid was $6,434.00 (USD).

Florida Panthers coach Paul Maurice says he does not believe in the word 'momentum.' Once the puck drops, Maurice says, what happened the game before is not relevant. The Panthers ended up going 2-2 on their California/Vegas road trip which was certainly not overwhelming. Considering the list of Panthers on the injured list, recovering from an ugly 7-3 loss in Anaheim to start things off must be considered commendable. [ Florida Panthers ]
The Philadelphia Eagles recently swung a trade for former Dolphins first-round pick Jaelan Phillips, who's set for free agency at the end of the season. If Phillips leaves, ESPN's Jeremy Fowler believes the Eagles would be in a position to receive a "strong" compensatory draft pick. [ Sportsnaut ]
