Jakub Dobes is the new darling of fans in Montreal.
The goalkeeper was excellent in his first two meetings with the Canadian and he will have another big test this evening.
Martin St-Louis will send him into the fray in Washington, while the Capitals are in first place in the Eastern Conference. The Caps are also only one point behind the Golden Knights and in first place in the general standings of the National League!
Anthony Marcotte spoke about the goaltender this morning on BPM Sports and he is well placed to do so because he followed him last year in his first year among the professionals for the description of the Laval Rocket matches .
And where it’s interesting is when Anthony Marcotte talks about Dobes’ combativeness unlike that of Primeau. The first is angry when he allows goals in training and the second is calmer even if he doesn’t stop the puck:
In training, it’s incredible the difference between him and Cayden Primeau. – Anthony Marcotte
That’s the fun, hearing things like that.
Because it shows one thing: Jakub Dobes is proud and he constantly wants to improve.
It’s with this attitude that the best become the best… And it also fits with what Stéphane Waite said on the radio last night, on 98.5 FM.
The former goalie coach in Montreal mentioned that Dobes has an extraordinary sense of competition and he is right because we saw him fight in front of his net in his first two games with the Canadian.
-Former Omaha Lancers head coach David Wilkie, coached Dobes during his two seasons in the USHL and he sees him becoming a #1 in the NHL at some point.
In a text by Nicolas Cloutier (TVA Sports), we read that Wilkie likes Jacob Fowler, but that he sees Dobes eventually becoming the starting goalie in Montreal:
Positive comments are coming from everywhere at the moment regarding Jakub Dobes.
He has to be aware of it… But at the same time, he must not get upset because he has to stay calm to be able to perform on the ice.
That said, I’m really looking forward to seeing him tonight against the best team in the East. If he has another big match, the fans in town will go crazy!
In burst
– Well done.
– Nice.
– Oh…
– Victory for CH this evening.
