Even though Milan Lucic and Zdeno Chara no longer play with the Boston Bruins, the rivalry between them and the Montreal Canadiens is still present.
The simple presence of Brad Marchand is more than enough to make CH fans hate the Bruins.
On the other hand, nothing stops the members of each team from saying nice things about the other team.
Hockey players and staff members recognize the talent and efficiency of an opposing player.
Jim Montgomery, head coach of the Bruins, was on the 98.5 Sports show, Sports fansalongside Mario Langlois.
During this short interview, a few topics were discussed, including the race for the playoffs in the Atlantic division.
According to the Montreal coach, the Atlantic team that will improve the most this season will be the Habs.
Quite interesting to see the coach of the rival CH team make this type of comment.
On the other hand, he also elaborated on his choice and that’s where it gets interesting.
He didn’t just say that to say it, he explained himself by mentioning, among other things, that he likes how the team is built.
“I like the way they are built. I like their way of doing things. The young people… They have good defenders, good centers and good wingers too. » – Jim Montgormery
He therefore specifies that the Canadiens have several good players on the ice…
But Montgomery didn’t mention anything about the CH goalkeepers.
There is nothing new at this level, because the goalkeeper situation is a little unclear, especially for the future.
On the other hand, Samuel Montembeault is doing a good job so far and Jacob Fowler seems to be promising.
It’s still too early to know if Fowler will be a good goaltender in the NHL, but the Carey Price era is well behind the CH, and the other teams know it.
