In my opinion, these stats just show that the team really needs to play better in front of him. He's definitely not the best goalie in the league, however he's not being backed up correctly, playing way too much, in front of a fragile defense.
... but guess who's at fault ?? His freakin $10.5M contract served on a silver platter! Props to the GM.
Nice stats btw thanks for sharing @ahmedou

Habs fans have been in denial for 15 years. This is an average goalie. Halak to this day is still doing better than him despite being older and smaller.

So, by that logic, I find it shocking that Halak would be willing to stay in Boston in what is guaranteed to be a backup role to Rask. Why wouldn't he have held out for a better contract and a chance to be the starter on a new team?
If Halak had the same workload as Carey, he's be dead by now.
Le Tricolore
Boo! BOOOO!
Today I learned that there are still people out there who think Halak is better than Price.
Okay then.

To his credit he hasn't flip flopped on that POV. He's been remarkably consistently wrong for years.

It's almost admirable.To his credit he hasn't flip flopped on that POV. He's been remarkably consistently wrong for years.
Woah...you still think this way? Jesus. Some people just stay in denial forever I guess.

If.............If............? Body frame????
WTF, this is rich....just stop please. Just stop.
As one poster has already said, IF Halak took Price's workload, he would be dead by now.

Who knows if Habs would have turned out better if they traded Price instead of Halak. Butteryfly effect - maybe we end up with McDavid.
But there's no question Carey Price is the better goalie.

What a silly question.
If Oleg Petrov had Mario Lemieux's bodyframe, would I pick him over Lemieux?

I wish that we didn't even draft Price, Kopitar would have been a much better option.

Kopitar is one man. Even if Halak or another goalie after were good, it still wouldn’t have made much of a difference. We still would’ve lacked the goal scoring depth we have for years. And Kopitar’s name wouldn’t have been near as illustrious as it has been with LA. Likely would’ve fallen into the same position Price is in right now, only difference being position. Great/good players get surrounded with crap all the time now. It’s been a 30-31 team league for 20 years. It’s very difficult to win. Even tougher when you add the political crap our franchise has refused to move away from on top of everything else.

Would you mind explaining some of the context behind these graphs? My understanding of advanced stats isn't great. Even in the second graph, what does that per game refer to? I get the proportions of shots the he faces part, but what does the Y axis refer to? Chances/attempts? That doesn't seem right though, since there's no way any goalie sees 50+ slot passes per game, for example. Sorry if I'm missing something obvious, just trying to understand.
