Lane Hutson Defends Samuel Montembeault After Disrespect From Canadiens Fans
The Canadiens, Samuel Montembeault, and the Flyers took center stage in an emotional Bell Centre game where the crowd's reactions rivaled the action on the ice.
We saw a rough start, three quick goals, and a goalie trying to find his rhythm.
Then came the applause.
Applause that was a little too loud, a little too deliberate.
Applause that wasn't meant to encourage...
And I have to say, the entire locker room noticed.

"When I realized they were applauding after he made a save... it wasn't something fun to see, even when you're not the one involved," said Bolduc.

He also made sure to point out Montembeault's character:
"He showed character and great mental strength. He helped us throughout the game," he added in praise.
The young defenseman, still new to the league, spoke calmly and respectfully.
"It was nice to get one point, but we would have liked to get two for him," said Hutson
He reminded everyone that Montembeault kept the team in the game when they could have fallen apart:
"He was good for us," he also pointed out. "He made the saves he had to make, and he made some big ones to keep us in the game." - Hutson
I really liked reading that. You can see the solidarity in this team.
I love how these players stand together, even when the crowd shows a lack of respect.
