Maxim Lapierre Speaks Out on Samuel Montembeault's Emotional Game in Montreal
The game between the Montreal Canadiens and the Philadelphia Flyers was filled with emotion, highs and lows.
We also saw very strong reactions from both the players and former members of the club, like Maxim Lapierre.
It really felt like everyone had something to say after that game.
The crowd, the media, the players, the former players.
And honestly, I understand why.
Because that game wasn't just another game.
It was a real test of character. And in a season as positive as this one for the Habs, the excitement is truly at its peak.
Maxim Lapierre didn't hesitate to defend Samuel Montembeault
Let's not beat around the bush... Samuel Montembeault had a very rough start to the game.
Three quick goals.
Unfortunately the passionate fans and crowd started reacting and mocking him.
I found it hard to watch.
I don't think that's the kind of reaction a player needs in a moment like that.
And clearly, I'm not the only one who thought so.
Former Canadiens forward Maxim Lapierre went on X to share his opinion.
He didn't mince words.
"Our goalie took a step in the right direction. Nothing perfect, but it's good for his confidence. With our two goalies at their best, we'll go far."

Then he shared an image of Montembeault on a throne, like a king.
That made me smile.
Because yes, Montembeault held strong.
He didn't give up.
He was even excellent afterward.
And Lapierre made it even clearer:
"I'm not hearing much about Montembeault since the start of the 2nd. That's it..."

That comment, to me, says it all.
When things go wrong, everyone talks.
When things get better, it suddenly gets quiet.
I find that so true.
And it shows just how much Montreal is an intense, passionate hockey city - but sometimes quick to react.
As for me, I liked seeing Montembeault fight back. Hopefully he finds his form and bounces back.
