'Dry Your Tears': Analyst Shares Honest Take on Jakub Dobes' Emotional Post-Game Moment

He was seen leaving the locker room with red eyes, almost unable to finish his sentences because he was so moved.

That scene touched a lot of people, including his teammates and coach. It was clear that the loss hurt him deeply.

But it also drew reactions from analysts.

For many, Dobes didn't need to carry all that weight on his own.

In his column published on RDS, François Gagnon clearly explains his point of view, reminding readers that Dobes didn't have to take all the blame by himself.

Indeed, according to him, Dobes was not responsible for this loss.

In his piece, he uses a powerful expression:

For Gagnon, the loss belongs to the whole team.

It's hard to disagree with him.

He says the Canadiens were a little slower - often arriving a second too late to the puck. Those small details made the difference in the game.

Dobes did slide a bit too much and probably would've liked to have a few saves back. But I don't think it was a bad game on his part.

On the contrary, he kept his team in it for long stretches.

Gagnon also points out that Jacob Markstrom, on the other side, gave up two fairly easy goals. That's what allowed the Canadiens to stay in the game - it puts things in perspective.

To me, Dobes' reaction mainly shows how much he cares about his role. You can see a young goaltender who wants to perform well for his team. He feels the pressure of the jersey, and that's normal.

With time, I truly believe that this kind of emotion can become a real strength.
