KENT HUGHES IS A TOTAL MASTERMIND: JAKUB DOBES, MONTREAL CANADIENS SAVIOUR?

[@davidnabess8494]

He earned his way up to the big club, and is playing his way into our hearts.

[@alexarseneault7849]

I think it is still too early but as a goalie I can say that he has a lot of talent and his technique is incredible. He played with an incredible confidence. It is still early to know if it is his peak or his standard. But for me I do believe that there is a great potential. He also has a fluidity in his movements that is underrated to be a top goalie in the nhl. So like I said he has potential but we need to see more of him to see what are his lows and highs.

2 WINS AND WERE ALREADY CALLING HIM JESUS

[@SvenTSchixe]

Yeah no sh!t eh??😂

[@AshleyBidensBathTime]

A rookie plays his first two games and when he plays great Montreal fans have audacity to show him some appreciation?? This is UNACCEPTABLE!!🤣

[@bigpicture3]

He didn't just fall off the "turnip cart" he has a stats history. He has (previous to his NHL debut) achieved a .934 save percentage, and a 2.24 GAA when the "best ever recorded" is .922 save percentage, and a 2.20 GAA by Dominik Hasek. It is not just "TWO WINS" it is a whole lot of wins.

[@Taooflu]

That’s Sir Jesus to you

[@rahjar]

To be fair, Montreal does love goalies more than the average hockey city. Between Plante, Dryden, Roy, Price, we've seen lots of very nice moments, if anything, it feels odd to win without goalie-ing the opponent sometimes

[@f9w99]

Habs are just in a situation where shuffling things is an acceptable risk. If a top 10 team makes a trade or brings up a rookie to discover a gem, that’s a major win. If they make playoffs consistently starting 2026-27, I’d say Kent Hughes did his job successfully. A 500 season this year would be a step in the right direction that fans can digest.

[@appletile2887]

Ghosts of Ken Dryden Another 23 year old has come down from the mountain to lead Montreal out of the desert these long and lean years. Dryden backstopped a Montreal dynasty with 6 cups ....4 straight. This team can be a real darkhorse this year. This team is real.

[@lyndseystorin91]

He shutout cup champs the 1 pp goal against in a shootout win against best offensive team ... and oh ya on the road ...he will get a standing ovation by habs fans..

[@jerryrick4685]

Also he has the best goals against for a NHL rookie ever, all time , after 2 games! Only 2 games but hey! Best ever!​

[@Mr_Mister15893]

as a habs fan i also missed this game on purpose because i fully expected the avs to blow us out

[@iamcutlife]

Marc Bergevin still blessing us!

[@BEYONDYOURIQ]

Anybody with a brain knew Primo needed to go...long ago.

[@Beep-Boop101]

Dobes wants to be in the NHL more than anyone else, when you have that kind of incentive , anything is possble.

[@BradWright-w3g]

Like Dobes confidence. Liked his comment that he sees the NHL game easier than the AHL. Let's not get ahead of ourselves with the comparisons.

[@HabsTypeBeat]

Where’s the Demidov video?

[@AshleyBidensBathTime]

Somebody doesn’t want to go back to the AHL😃

[@peterfishwick1593]

Hughes messed up here Dobes should have been with Montreal much sooner. Same with his slow reaction to Barron poor defence.

[@misterinsanity6980]

He gave Barron his chances and if Hughes acted sooner, we wouldn’t have gotten Carrier. Primeau was good last season. Plus Primeau and Montembeault were both playing poorly. That is also another reason

[@incolecaufieldwetrust]

Prime halak numbers

[@0canadiens81]

It’s 2 games. He’s been great but it is 2 games.

[@misterinsanity6980]

He is the only goalie in Montreal history to allow only 1 goal in his first 2 games

[@0canadiens81]

@ a good 2 games. It’s 2 games. Who knows what will follow.

[@acflex4]

Please let me tell you what you need to know..............that is the best thing for me to be able to get the latest version of Patrick Roy.

[@lindsaybelaire123]

For all the haters Ken Dryden won the Conn Smyth before his rookie year. Plus Patrick Roy won a cup in his rookie year.😊

[@GabbyBabby-pp1lx]

There are more than 80 games in a regular season, and then comes the true test in the playoffs. Most difficult league to have real success in, in any sport. We shall see.

[@animepopuproar281]

why people compare dobes to primeau? its like comparing a nhl player to a ahl player compare him to nhl goalies he proved hes in the conversation over montembault id say

[@Veopoz]

You dont watch anyvHabs games 😅 Dobes unorthodox style reminds me of Roy Tall and Lanky, Clutch

[@denispicard4503]

S is completely crazy Leggo. He only played 2 games. Give him a break . I hope Dobes gets a real opportunity to prove himself. Dobes looks really good but he needs time to adjust to the NHL and his new environmemt. GHG

[@jozefmasny8349]

Master has given Doby some minutes. Doby is free!

[@robertn2951]

It's pronounced DobeSH

[@f9w99]

Doe-bzzz

[@stockey]

Carey Price reborn.

[@starledge]

Hughes? Dobes was drafted by Bergevin in 2020. Everybody who saw Dobes play in the preseason against Toronto knew he was really good and deserved another look, but Primeau was in the way. It was just a matter of time before he was called up because Primeau had issues. Dobes is an athletic style goalie and has been compared to his Czech countryman Dominik Hasek. He is nothing like Roy or Halak.

[@misterinsanity6980]

Kent Hughes is the one that decided to bring him up and support Montembeault. If it was Bergevin as GM, he would have stayed in Laval or possibly traded

[@starledge]

I don't see this as any sort of smart move. It was just managing the waiver problem with Primeau. Dobes was ready in September.
