«I do think that we need to protect the stars in our game,» Montgomery pointed out. «When guys are getting cross-checked and stuff after whistles, I think that's something that needs to be important to the league. We've seen it several years with [Connor] McDavid. Last year he had several points, but the years before, in the playoffs, they allowed people to maul him, and you don't want to take away the great skill of a McDavid, a Pastrnak, or a Marchand because that's what this league is about.»
