Tomorrow night the Habs will take on the Washington Capitals for the first time since the playoffs last spring. The highlight of this episode was undoubtedly the battle between Tom Wilson and Josh Anderson.
The water has since gone under the bridge, but it all started with Jakub Dobes mocking the Caps from the bench.
When Samuel Montembeault was injured, the situation on the ice escalated.
As Felix Seguin said on The Jean-Charles Lajoie Show, the Capitals will mock the Habs goalie even though he won't be the starting goalie tomorrow.

Why are you asking? Yes, because of his emotional reaction after the match.
Dobs, for his part, will stay away from Capitals players. In an interview he gave to Seguin, he made this clear.
“I think I'll be successful next year. In the playoffs, everyone insults each other. It's nothing personal. I tried to help my teammates” – Jakub Dobes
I actually got the impression that the Caps players were willing to talk to him about it during commercial breaks, and rightfully so. We'll see how he reacts, but it will certainly be interesting.
For now, his focus should be on his play on the ice. With those of Samuel Montembeault, he has room to win. He needs to come back with a performance of his own, and that could be enough to make him the team's number one goalkeeper.
The rotation is set for now, but I really have a feeling that the next goalie to win will keep the net for the next game. Now victory depends on Dobs. He has a 4.34 goals-against average and .813 save percentage in November.
