Habs goalie Samuel Montembeault leaves social media due to angry fan comments
Montreal Canadiens goalie Samuel Montembeault has gotten off of social media after a sea of angry comments from fans.
In this day and age of social media that allows fans extremely quick access to their athletes, some fans clearly take things too far.
Canadiens goaltender Samuel Montembeault has decided to get off social media after the constant negative comments he would receive.
Especially on social media, you gotta put that behind. I deleted my Instagram cause obviously after a loss, you can't go on it. Many things that are said aren't nice on there. You just gotta take all the noise and put it behind. Just trying to focus on me, focus on my game and not listen to what everybody has to say.»
Good games or bad games, people are always gonna have something to say. I just wanna focus on myself.

Multiple players have said they've experienced issues with angry fans on social media, from Brady Tkachuk to Mitch Marner.
Samuel Montembeault Still Holding The Starting Job In Montreal
Montembeault was taken with the 77th overall pick by the Florida Panthers in the 2015 NHL Entry Draft, though he would mostly played with the AHL affiliate Springfield Thunderbirds.
He would then be placed on waivers by the Panthers and then claimed by the Canadiens the same day.
Right now, he's in the middle of a three year contract with an AAV (average annual value) of $3,150,000.
Last year, he helped lead the Canadiens to the postseason for the first time since their surprise run to the 2021 Stanley Cup Final.
Right now, his numbers aren't what he'd like at just 4-4-1 with a .861 SV%. Rookie Jakub Dobes' superior play is clearly causing a rift among fans.
