Samuel Montembeault is not hiding from the situation.

The Montreal Canadiens’ Quebec-born goaltender has just broken his silence regarding the persistent rumors surrounding his uncertain future with the organization.
And his comments during the season-ending review in Brossard reveal exactly the kind of exceptional teammate he is.
A reporter directly asked Montembeault the crucial question during the press conference.
“Have you turned the page on the Montreal Canadiens?”
And the Quebec goaltender’s response was extremely revealing.
Marco D’Amico shared the full comments on social media.
“I have one year left on my deal, I don’t make those decisions. All I can control is having a good summer.”

This is exactly the kind of professional attitude that demonstrates the maturity of the Quebec goaltender.
Anthony Martineau of TVA Sports also shared another absolutely fascinating statement from Montembeault on social media.
“I wasn’t going into games thinking I could make the saves. I was going into them telling myself I had to make as few mistakes as possible. You can’t perform at your best with that mindset.”
