So their current performance is due to Price back? When Montoya was in goal 4/7 games so far? Yeah, you make sense.
Oh, and who are those fabled 2/3 forwards? Looking at this season, you must be talking about Gallagher/Radulov/Byron. Then again, have you even seen a Habs game? Guess not.

That's the type of comment only people who spell "Weber" with two 'b' make. Clearly you have not seen the Habs play this season.

and another win... this time against the Bolts.
Was a good game, I like where we are going with this team.
btw, what's up with the Wings and their 6 win streak ? I didn't fallow them, how representative this streak ?

Yes I have seen the habs play. Outside of Weber and goalies they don't look good. Montoya has been great. His career stats however do not reflect that as a likely continuing trend. Career average is .911 save %. Zero chance he maintains the .955 currently.
MTL shots for: 237
Opp Shots for: 266
Teams that get shot on more than they shoot lose hockey games unless there goalie stands on his head. Montreal's have been doing that. Goalies have been masking the flaws in the MTL system for years.
Price is that damn good

Sir, you seem to forget that the Habs currently are 3rd in the league for GPG (3.50). Sure, Price and Montoya have been playing fantastically thus far, but they are certainly not the ones producing offense. Montreal just has what looks like a well rounded team this year.

There is a feeling of trepidation in Edmonton right now, we have been beaten down for so long that nobody mentions the Oilers current success for fear of jinxing it.

Yeah. That Buffalo game lingers as a constant reminder of seasons past.
And of course most of our advanced metric are totally unsustainable lol. Would be great if we maintained that 9-1 scoring chance advantage while McDavid is on the ice all year though!

God this Tampa game against the devils has been so frustrating thus far...one team attacking and the other scoring T_T poor vasilevskiy.
Kucherov's absence is dully noted. The line mix this game is not working that well. Plus Drouin is cooling of and that also hurts.

Howard has a .984 sv%. Mrazek has a .925 sv%.

Sorta. Mrazeks is gonna get stung by the .600 sa% game. Howard's won't be damaged by alot though. to lazy to do the math right now for what they are lol

yeah all you need to do is look at PDO
though Montreal's PDO is just going to be naturally higher due to Price
|
Advanced stats with such a small sample size, at the beginning of the season are just dumb to look at. In general I don't put too much weight into them, too many factors that can't be put into numbers but even more so with such a small sample size at a time in the year when everyone is just trying to get their legs under them.

this was pretty much going to be my exact post as well. small sample size + a system that constantly has them getting outshot = i would not put a whole lot of weight behind their start
if a random hot october meant a team was good the leafs would have won the Cup by now huehuehue

even this early in the year, that pdo chart is basically the same as looking at a goalie with a .980 - both are due for a big ol crash soon.

Carey Price with the 42 save shut out vs a team everyone expects to win the draft lottery by finishing dead last in the NHL (Vancouver)
Shots 42 for VAN and 22 for MTL once again highlighting that without great goal tending Montreal is a lottery team.
|
it's the first game that Price save... relax
Also, this was the worst game of the year of the Habs. So yeah..
|
so Montoya is getting quite a beating in a game vs Jackets.

First two goals weren't on him.
Habs are just playing very poorly so far, worse than how they played against the Nucks on Wednesday. They can't get any offense going.
