A familiar name around here admitted he regrets not being able to sign with the Montreal Canadiens organization this summer.<\/p>\n
Instead, the Quebec-born goaltender chose to continue his career in Italy, simply because he wasn’t able to reach an agreement with the Rocket.<\/p>\n
At 34, he signed with HC Bolzano, where he’ll be the starting goaltender.<\/p>\n
He’ll also bring his family along for this new adventure overseas.<\/p>\n
Canadiens’ goaltending logjam left little room for Louis Domingue<\/p>\n
The logjam in the crease is very real in the Montreal Canadiens organization right now.<\/p>\n
Kaapo Kahkonen<\/a> already had a head start for the No. 2 goaltending job in Laval after seeing plenty of action last season.Then there’s Samuel Montembeault<\/a>, who remains with the Canadiens and is expected to serve as Jakub Dobes<\/a>‘ backup this season, but who could also end up with the Laval Rocket.Jacob Fowler<\/a> could also see playing time in Laval, leaving very little room for a newcomer like Domingue.<\/p>\n The veteran also discussed the rule change involving emergency goaltenders, which will now require teams to carry a legitimate third goalie.<\/p>\n He believes the change will help the league’s credibility, even if plenty of people will miss the colorful stories involving unlikely emergency goaltenders.<\/p>\n We agree with him on that point.<\/p>\n Previously on Montreal Hockey Fanatics<\/p>\n POLL<\/p>\n 14 HOURS AGO|66 ANSWERS<\/p>\n 6-foot-3 veteran admits he wanted to sign with the Canadiens organization this summer<\/p>\n Should the Laval Rocket have found a spot for Louis Domingue?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t
