This is Every Goaltender's Dream..

[@Louis-PhilippeDussault]

I was at the Place Bell for the Laval Rocket game and when they announced Dobes' shutout there was practically a standing ovation 🔥🔥🔥

[@toddlauretteHabsforlife]

That's awesome!

[@gladiatorgrit]

Hell yeah, that would have been something to see!

[@symasoma]

Same here. It was amazing. The crowd went absolutely lit for him! I was so happy for Dobes, what a game he had! ❤

[@m____w____6981]

Watched Dobes at the Bell Centre about a year ago, I thought he had a very odd style. He has clearly progressed a lot. Looking good.

[@franklininterviewsvancouve8605]

This a movement

[@davidhart1118]

I saw how the players got around Dobes at the end of the game as they were grabbing and shaking at Dobes mask. It was a joy to see.

[@tommargarites2811]

Really happy with the Habs today, especially for Dobes and Dach. Nice to see Caufeild get one too.

[@alchemist2303]

As a Rocket season ticket holder, I’ve been saying this for months: This kid is special. He’s a good goalie for sure, but he has a personality, a natural leader and most importantly: he inspires confidence. A thing we, both the fans and the team on the ice, never got with Primeau. He’s not that kind of "laser focused goalie" like Monty. He’s an emotional player. He yells, he fights, he chirps, and his confidence is contagious. I’m proud of him, he deserves the best.

[@SuperMK1989]

Habs are playing above their weight class currently, and I’m here for it! Not gunna let the past 10 get me carried away, but looks like Laine has helped this team. More heart, or less mental I dunno, but the boys look a tad sharper. A half second behind the play is enough to make a team look terrible, and seems like the recent Habs have caught up with the tempo a little more.

[@JudyPitcher]

Only 5pts from the 2nd wildcard spot. Dobes was a wall. Arby had a fight with Greer, Dacher got 2 goals, Jakey had another shorty and topped off with a Goal Caufield goal. Good game.

[@danikasmith5487]

Aye I like the Canadians as a jets fan. I'm glad they're doing better.

[@stephanel4770]

Now picture Demidov coming to the team next year. 🔥🔥🔥

[@BennettLee-dc3qp]

im an oilers fan and generally only catch habs highlights/summaries, but i can tell, as can the rest of the league, that laine is huuuge on your team esp on the powerplay. it was a good trade for yall imho

[@tsak912]

They added a 40 goal scorer. That’ll put some jump in any team.

[@iamwonderFil]

looks like dobes has earned another start.

[@OwenBussiere]

No, montembeault should play tomorrow, as well as dobes played, he made mistakes, now teams have tape of those mistakes, give him some time before throwing him into back to backs

[@Débribu]

@OwenBussiere they have cameras in the AHL too... 😉

[@GuillaumeRouleau]

Not a chance

[@OwenBussiere]

@@Débribu AHL players don’t test goalies like the big league does, he was playing amazing in the A’s, players weren’t forcing as many mistakes

[@JudyPitcher]

@@iamwonderFil Monty will start against Tampa but then we're on to Vegas...

[@MrLuchenkov]

Dobes looked real sharp and Dach's line finally produced results. Also, our defense was solid this game. We gave 34 shots, but fewer good opportunities than we normally do. All in all, one of the best games of the season for the Habs.

[@The_world_at_large]

When people ask who my favourite team is I always say I’m a hockey fan not a _____ fan. From a we little ewalk brat until now I’ve always just said I’m a team Canada fan. I think today is when I admit the Canadians are my favourite team. The most amount of fan passion and history. Took me 34 years to say this. Could be the wine and two bags of zesty Doritos but I think this is it

[@crazeinthedark]

Hop on the wagon now! We’ll be a contender in 3-4 years or your money back. Welcome to the club!!

[@Onlytheclouds]

The funny part is Francophones look down on Anglophones like they are second class citizens. Could never cheer for this team.

[@BloodRider1914]

I was watching the Panthers' commentary and they were saying that Jakub was stopping pucks like they were beachballs. Much better than a goalie who couldn't stop a beachball

[@damsquare-nh4md]

What do they know?

[@nicks.6341]

@@damsquare-nh4md A hot goalie when they see one?

[@bobmatley]

Yes they also said Arber was waiving for the linesmen to come in and help him during the fight. Arber was telling them to back off so he could toss more punches.

[@myselfnooneelse3358]

amazing game, i was technically born in czechoslovakia so big cheer for Dobes. Also had a leaf fan at work, was not happy with how the game went, all and all great day. Junkie great video as always, thank you for your entertainment.

[@sovka8394]

Slaf and Arber are probably also happy they have another “czech/slovakian” in the team.

[@pentifexmonolith]

I bet your leaf fan co-worker is going to be seething that the Laughs lost to Washington

[@DudleyDoright-ru2ch]

I needed this after yesterday's game against Latvia. Habs were skating well.

[@mikebishop4430]

Every player put in a great effort. And even Matheson managed to keep my swear jar from spilling over ! Does was steady and dialed and so glad he got his shutout in his first game ! I think we fans needed this almost as much as our Habs did. GHG !

[@jonmaxwell7143]

Dobes looked solid. Great positioning too.

[@rvanleersum]

Great positioning? Are you kidding? He was off much of game. Very fortunate to get the shut out. Happy for him, but I'm not going to praise him with fake news.

[@GMaugis1]

Dobes body language reminds me of a dude called Patrick Roy... I think we got ourselves a goalie...easy now time will tell ! Way to go Kirby Doc

[@richardthacker6]

Congrats to the Habs. They came to play. My Panthers looked terrible. Hoping Dobes is a mainstay in Montreal for many years.

[@melgreier1630]

Your Panthers will be just fine! Thanks for you kind words - you’re obviously a true fan of the game, not just a team! Best of luck to your Cats the rest of the way!

[@richardthacker6]

@melgreier1630 Thank you! I love hockey, the best sport in the world. Panthers are my first team, but after discovering this channel, I've become a Habs fan, too.

[@mclovin9578]

Good for him, man. As a goalie I love rooting for stuff like this. No matter the team.

[@Torgo1969]

Outstanding! I played goalie in college for gym class and intramurals and it was the most sports fun I ever had.

[@Silentcal23]

Check out the TOI of the forwards. Quite balanced. Nice to see that on the first half of a back to back.

[@Débribu]

That's the result of playing with the lead most of the game!

[@frankydduty2642]

[@mikeolmstead340]

Voice is fine, skoden. Evans’ sneaky good breakout season is really picking up steam, like he’s Peter Gabriele singing Sledgehammer. Nice to see Dach finally look somewhat comfortable, but it’s clear we still haven’t seen 85% Laine yet. He’s getting there, but, hot take here, it wouldn’t surprise me if he pulls out of the 4 Nations tournament if January is meh for him personally. Great win, and thanks for the early video bonus tonight.

[@Tombcleaner]

the smile on dobes face mean everything xd

[@hargoniyamaki5168]

I am super happy to see this young goaltender come up and meet with success in this opening game. It was real high class that Brendan Gallagher went straight to the opposite end of the rink to get the game puck at the final buzzer. I hope Dobes continues to do well and it’s a wonderful thing to imagine having a 23-year-old who can be a reliable back up in the NHL.

[@HockeyJunkie]

I noticed that as well about Gally he was determined to get that puck!

[@JudyPitcher]

@@HockeyJunkie Gally is the man. Team first, heart and soul.

[@rockinrodlittle]

Always likes Evans. He’s getting better and better. Dobes made a perfect first impression on us Habs fans

[@Andrew-oi1qp]

Habs have a winning record since Patrick Laine joined the team.

[@carycwilliams]

If he didn't get injured, hmm. I still think they chase it from now until the end of the year. Dobes will earn more starts and leave the team questioning what the future will hold for Montambault as a starter.

[@Darule514]

[@migjager7352]

Das Dach, das Dach, das Dach is on fire...🔥

[@maplez8210]

close enough. welcome back, carey

[@TopCornerOffice]

Amazing how knowing that you have a competent goaltender on the backend can completely change a teams over all dynamic. Too many games lost where the D and forwards were afraid to make a mistake knowing there was pretty much no goaltender between the pipes. Jacob and Jakub next year, please, because I for one am tired of pretending that a career backup goaltender like Sam Mentembeau is actually a good starter. Dobes is phase one of cleaning house back there. Good riddance, Primeau, now push Monte out asap.

[@lancegallant3647]

Dream combo with these 2 were in good hands esp Fowler savage

[@doaftheloaf]

@@lancegallant3647 monty is and always was a placeholder here, a stopgap. on a playoff team he's a 1B at best. he's an NHL goalie, at least, which i can't say about primeau. fowler is our future, i see a lot of price in him. hopefully without the injuries. we also have yevgeni volokhin, who's playing very well in russia. and whatever quentin miller and mikus vecvanags turn into.

[@lancegallant3647]

@doaftheloaf absolutely 💯 % well said ! You are correct Fowler looks alot like Price agreed 👍 🤝 and deff We are looking real nice on the Goalie prospect pool !

He was the stay puft marshmallow man. He absorbed everything.

It's also a dream the Laval callup realized down in sunny Florida. Lol could not write a better script.

[@derfman1792]

Dobes had moments where he was a little out of position, like when Hutson saved a goal, or when Lundell hit the crossbar, let’s not get too carried away folks…

[@xXLONEWOLFXxCZ]

Fun fact: hes the first ever Czech goalie who got a shutout on his debut!

[@Droyo12]

Sometimes a bit of fesh air can change a lot with Laine's return, Barron trade and a new goalie the boys feel better

[@etiennesharp]

Great for Dobes. This road trip is a ball-breaker though.

[@doaftheloaf]

surprised they gave the kid the start today when monty's a former panther. but, it worked.

[@TheMaestro116]

Doby's a free elf!

[@Canuck96Myster]

Cayden Primeau has been treated like shit by Montreal canadians. Whenever Montembeault has a bad game, there’s always excuses for him. When Primeau has a bad game, they just put him down and blame him! Dobes played one good game, a season is much longer than one game!

[@melgreier1630]

I’m happy for Dobes and the team, but I still wish Primeau the best of luck. He’s not a bad goalie, just not ready for the big time yet.

[@doaftheloaf]

if he's not ready now, he may never be. primeau's been around for quite a while, and there's no reason he shouldn't have caught on by now. he's been the justin barron of goaltenders. this year was primeau's big shot, he would show us exactly what kind of goalie he was and what we can expect from his future. well, he has, in all the worst ways. he's played himself out of our future plans, and perhaps even our present ones. it's just not going to happen here.

[@edwardromanada8650]

Nice to see he's not an "on the goalline" tender like Montelbomb....he has my vote for #1.
