Samsonov Demoted

According to RDS and TSN, Montreal demote Sergei Samsonov to 4th line and he will likely start tomorrow's game on that line. Samsonov was absolutely furious and stated that ''It's frustrating when your team is down 3-0 in the third period and you end up sitting on the bench watching the game. If that's the case, then obviously I'm not needed here.''

Latrappe's take: Samsonov have no one to blame but himself. His defensive game was poor and his offensive production almost reduce to nothing. Samsonov was nowhere to be seen in a lot of games and Guy Carbonneau is not the kind of guy who will accept those kind of things. Samsonov have, in Montreal, exactly the same bad habit that he had in Beantown which mean that he always take the wrong decision around the net. Time will tell how it will played out...
