Brendan Gallagher received two good blockers from Jeremy Swayman following contact with the Bruins goaltender in the third period. If he saw Gallagher’s face very close, Swayman would have liked to see that of the goaltender at the other end of the ice, Samuel Montembeault.
“I saw he was waving at me,” Montembeault said. He wanted me to go, but I didn’t want to. I told Martin (St. Louis) that I don’t hit hard enough anyway. I think the defeat will hurt him even more.”
“I raised my arms to show him that I was there,” Swayman admitted in an interview with colleague Jonathan Bernier and the other Boston scribes. But nothing happened, there’s no point in talking regarding it.”
At the heart of this altercation, Brendan Gallagher refused to reveal the content of his conversation with the masked Bruins man.
“If I have to summarize, I would say that I told him that he was not right,” replied Gallagher, smiling. But you can read all the details in my biography which will be published in ten years!”
Beyond this refused invitation, Montembeault had a strong match with 25 saves.
“We beat the Bruins on a Saturday night and the Alouettes won to reach the Gray Cup, it was really a great day for Montreal fans.”
Montembeault watched portions of the Alouettes game late in the followingnoon while eating a bowl of grau. A winning recipe for number 35.
Guhle’s courage
Kaiden Guhle discovered the rivalry with the Bruins for the first time. Injured at the end of the season, he had not yet played once morest the Massachusetts team. He organized himself not to forget this first meeting with a winning goal in overtime, an assist on Gallagher’s goal, five blocked shots and a +2 record.

“I’m even happier with the blocked shots, we needed to kill that three-on-five,” Guhle said. I wasn’t the only one blocking shots, Kovy (Kovacevic) did the same thing.
Guhle once once more demonstrated his courage by placing himself in the shooting line of David Pastrnak, one of the most formidable scorers in the NHL.
“Is it scary? Yes and no, he replied. It hurts even more when you see the puck in the back of the net.”
“He’s been playing like that since he made the jump to the NHL last year,” Gallagher added of Guhle. He is a key defender for us. He played a whole match. When you look in the locker room before a match, you know you can count on him, no matter who the rival team is.”
Good old Gallagher
Still used on the right wing of the third line alongside Sean Monahan and Tanner Pearson, Gallagher gives the feeling of a player in full rebirth this season. He now has five goals and eight points following 14 games.
“It’s great to see him play this way,” Guhle said. Gally (Gallagher) has gone through difficult seasons with injuries. He’s healthy and he’s having fun on the ice.”
“Since the start of the year, Gally has looked a lot like the same player we saw for a long time here in Montreal,” added St-Louis. He is in a good place physically and mentally. The NHL is not an easy league, it’s difficult to play when you’re not at 100%. I’m happy for his success on the scoresheet. But with Gally, there are many things that cannot be read on a scorecard.
