I decided to do the math.
Henrik saw 41 high danger shots in the first round....41...the most in the entire playoffs of any team.
Carey Price saw 31.
Henrik allowed 4 of those 41...Price allowed 7 of his 31
If Henrik gave up the same number of HD goals that Price did thats and extra 7 goals against in those 6 games...
The rangers won 2 games by 1 goal, and 2 games by 2 goals. 6 Goals total.
Henrik Lundqvist won us round 1.
or, if you like...
Carey Price lost the Canadiens round 1.
However you want to write that script..the Habs generated more scoring chances than the Rangers.
High Danger Lundqvist Vs Price
41 - 31
Medium Danger Lundqvist VS Price
48 - 36
Low Danger Lundqvist VS Price
72 - 80
the rangers threw more garbage at the net...Montreal threw more high quality shots on net.
We didn't win because of AV outcoaching Julien. Julien, with a FAR inferior lineup, got a substantially higher number of high quality scoring chances. If AV is so brilliant his system would have had a lot more high danger scoring chances for... there were 5 other goalis in the first round who saw more high danger shots than Price...a team with literally 1 good defenseman.
If AV is so brilliant he wouldnt allow a team with literally...1 friggin halfway decent line...and Steve Ott...and King..and a whole bunch of garbage..to generate the most high danger scoring chances against him.
So to even remotely say that AV deserves 1 iota of credit for getting his doors blown off by an inferior team just because his goalie stood on his head...is beyond absurd.
