What the Puck: Canadiens fans have a new hero in Jakub Dobes

Montrealers have a new hero, and his name is Jakub Dobes. Fans outside the Bell Centre chanted his name, and the massive crowd went wild when he made big saves, particularly in the third period as the Buffalo Sabres were desperately trying to get back into the game. Dobes appeared on the big screens when he was interviewed on the ice as the first star, and the crowd erupted. The Czech goalie let in the first shot to give the Sabres an early 1-0 lead, but he then went on to stop 26 of the next 27 shots to give Montreal a dominant 6-2 win over Buffalo. The Habs now lead the best-of-seven series 2-1, with Game 4 set for Tuesday at the Bell Centre.
