Marc-André Fleury was treated to a memorable evening Thursday at the Bell Center. It was a great mark of recognition for a goalkeeper who has not always had it easy during his visits to Montreal.
Fleury is ranked third in history for wins, but his name very rarely comes up when it comes to the best goalies of all time. Is its contribution underestimated?
Meanwhile, defeats continue to pile up for the Canadian. The situation must be frustrating, as only three players remained on the ice to salute Fleury’s feat. Is it rather a consequence of the lack of leadership in this team?
Speaking of goalies, Jake Allen continues his good work. He and Ben Chiarot are among the few veterans of the Canadiens whose level of play has not suffered too much this season. What to do with them?
Elsewhere in the NHL, the Olympics, the Coyotes and hockey in Quebec are talked about. We talk about it with Jeremy Filosa, who is in Florida for the Governors’ meeting.
In this podcast episode Zone exit, a collaboration between Press and the 98.5, the host Jérémie Rainville receives Stéphane Waite, Mikaël Lalancette and Guillaume Lefrançois.

With his athletic skills, I see him going as a goalie, and he doesn’t look like he’s 37. I would have no problem signing this guy on a three-year contract at the end of the season.
Stephane Waite
Arizona Coyotes owner has the resources, there is no problem, Alex takes care of it, Alex is good, Merry Christmas everyone. Nothing to see, move around.
Jeremiah Rainville
As colleague Elliotte Friedman said, I hope my wife is as loyal to me as Gary Bettman at the Coyotes. Bettman is 10 feet from me, he doesn’t quite understand me, but he knows what I’m talking about.
