Jake Allen

While the Montreal Canadiens were in Toronto, Stanley Cup champion goaltender Jake Allen joined Jeff and Elliotte for a lengthy sit-down. They talk about his time in Montreal, playing alongside Carey Price, their Stanley Cup run in 2021, winning with St. Louis in 2019, his friendship with Jordan Binnington, how he analyzes a play before a shot, which team is the most unique offensively in his eyes, what it’s like playing for Martin St. Louis, his desire to score a goal (one day), if there’s a solution to the goalie mask issue we've seen a few times this season and we ask him to build us the perfect goaltender.
