If there is a rather unexpected, but particularly interesting development in the Habs this season, it is goalie Samuel Montembeault's play. The 26-year-old Quebecer has been performing sensational since Jake Allen's injury. As he prepares to play his sixth straight game, Monty is proving that he can handle the starting goalie spot in the short to medium term. The next step is to determine if he can hold down the fort as a number one goalie in the long term, as his development suggests he is getting a little closer to that level. While commenting on the recent performances of CH #35, former NHL goaltender Jean-Sebastien Giguère made a huge statement about him. <q>He's starting to look like me!</q> He clarifies his impressions by mentioning that Montembeault has improved one of his biggest of flaws, which is the control of returns. <q>When you want to know if a goalie is in control, you look to see if the puck sticks to him. In the last few years, Samuel was giving a lot of returns. But in the last five games, that's really not the case. I'm glad to see him perform like that, because he's a guy who fights a lot. Sometimes he gets in trouble by giving up quick goals, but he doesn't give up. - Jean-Sébastien Giguère</q> The 2003 Conn Smythe Trophy winner adds a more conservative, but encouraging note on the potential of the Canadiens goaltender. <q>To me, he's officially entering the top-62 goalies in the world. He's still going to get a job if he's looking for one. Maybe not as a No. 1, but he's definitely a good No. 2 to me. He needed a little more time than someone else, but we know from now on he should have a great career. - Jean-Sébastien Giguère</q> It's always in the Tricolore's best interest to add depth to their goaltending pool, including one who would have the potential to be the organization's goaltender of the future, but if Monty can fill the position by the time he gets there, it would be the perfect scenario for the CH.
