Marc Bergevin has done some shocking things with the Montreal Canadiens in his tenure as general manager and claiming Antti Niemi may be one of them. Goaltending was a problem for the team as Carey Price was going through his funk and the team was struggling to improve defensively. The only positive from all of this is that fans have gotten a chance to see the second raising of the Wall of Charlie Lindgren in the past week and a half.
With Al Montoya being out with a concussion, and Price claiming he’s soon to return, the Habs needed some insurance to help Lindgren out.
