Montreal’s playoff run hasn\u2019t been a surprise to Robinson, who attended Game 1 of the first round in Tampa and has seen the rest on TV.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey\u2019ve just been, above all else, a fun team to watch,\u201d he said. \u201cThey\u2019re a bunch of kids who love each other, who love playing with and for each other. They compete.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd they\u2019ve basically taken on the personality of the gentleman behind the bench,\u201d he added of coach Martin St. Louis. \u201cThat\u2019s the way that\u00a0Marty played the game, with a \u00a0lot of passion, a lot of heart and a never-say-die attitude.\u201d<\/p>\n
Goalie Jakub Dobes<\/a> has stunned Montreal and stoned the Lightning and Sabres for much of the playoffs, quite the way rookie Patrick Roy<\/a>\u00a0performed in 1986 on the march to the Stanley Cup, Robinson\u2019s sixth.<\/p>\n \u201cDobes reminds me a little bit of somebody else who nobody knew much about when he came into the net and suddenly was the talk of the town,\u201d Robinson said of Roy, laughing. \u201cThey seem to have very similar personalities. I\u2019ve never met Dobes so I can\u2019t speak first hand but he patrols the net very much like Patrick did, so for Montreal that\u2019s good to see.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Montreal’s playoff run hasn\u2019t been a surprise to Robinson, who attended Game 1 of the first round in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":675950,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[556],"tags":[64,63,575,85],"class_list":["post-675949","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nhl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-nhl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/675949","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=675949"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/675949\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/675950"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=675949"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=675949"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=675949"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
