Noah Dobson: the Habs welcomed him to Montreal in style

We also note that she took care to thank the organization in French with a “merci beaucoup” rather than a “thank you”. That’s a nice touch.

We know that the Canadiens have a good reputation in this area throughout the league, and for a first-rate player like Dobson, I like to see the team go all out to make sure he gets a nice welcome when he arrives in town.

Because that’s also how you build a reputation, after all: players take note of these little gestures, and it makes noise throughout the league afterwards.

Of course, the most important thing now will be to see what the defenseman can do on the ice. He’ll be a player to watch at the team’s next training camp, because right now, he’s one of the biggest pieces of the Habs’ core.

And the club has made sure to welcome him at the height of all that. Well done.

Overtime

– He, too, will be eagerly awaited at camp.

– Attention all interested parties.

– Too bad.

– It’s not ideal for the tournament.
