Jakub Dobes finally breaks his silence following emotional Canadiens-Devils game
Jakub Dobes finally opens up about his very emotional reaction following the Canadiens' loss to the New Jersey Devils last Thursday.
A week ago, the scene touched everyone.
Jakub Dobes, visibly emotional after the overtime loss to the Devils, left the locker room with his head down and his eyes red.
It was a moment that drew a strong reaction from many fans and several journalists.
There, we saw a young goaltender who was clearly heartbroken.
But good news! Today, Dobes spoke publicly for the first time since last week.
An emotional goaltender, but mentally strong
I'm really glad to see that the young Czech goalie also wanted to clarify things about his mindset.
Habs Jakub Dobes addressing the media for the first time since he was emotional postgame in NJ:
"I think I was fine on the plane. Going back to that, I want to close it - you guys don't need to worry about me at all just some games mean more to someone than others..."

"Every game I play, I want to win really badly for the team, for the fans, for myself. Some games are more meaningful and that one was really meaningful to me. Unfortunately, we lost that one."

I have to say, it's great to hear that.
You can tell the young goaltender wants to move forward - and rightly so!
To me, that's a great sign of maturity. He's understood that in hockey, you sometimes have to take a hit before you can bounce back stronger.
His coach, Martin St-Louis, often says it: a goalie's development comes with ups and downs.
And honestly, I think Dobes is truly living that right now.
You can feel he wants to prove something - not necessarily to everyone else, but first and foremost to himself - and that's exactly how it should be!
St. Louis confirmed that Dobes will be in net for tomorrow night's Canadiens-Stars clash.
This will be a big test for the young goalie following the heavy defeat Monty suffered yesterday.
