Samuel Montembeault in the top-12 in Canadiens history: possible as early as this season

It’s crazy, though, to note that less than two years after being named the club’s #1 goalie, Monty is already ranked 16th in the club’s history. He’s only just arrived in town… he didn’t play much at first… he was part of a ménage à trois… he played in a rebuilding club… that’s not so bad, is it?[content-ads]But above all, when you look at the whole picture, you realize that he only needs 20 wins to take the exclusive 13th spot in history. And with 33 wins, he’d overtake Georges Vézina for 12th place. Isit just me, or is that a lot?In reality, it wouldn’t take much (two seasons of around 25 wins or more) to move up to ninth in the history of the winningest franchise in history.Of course, at the top of the club’s history, there’s also a goalie under contract (for the time being) with the Habs. But let’s just say it’s a different kettle of fish. #CareyPrice

Montembeault has some big years ahead of him. He’ll want to keep his club winning to get back into the playoffs. He’ll want to qualify for the Olympics, and in the medium term, he’ll surely want to earn himself a new contract (two years left on his current deal) in town. It won’t be easy with the youngsters pushing, but he’s capable of doing it.[spacer title=’Overtime’]- To be continued…
