Good point, but Markov-Subban-Emelin was solid. At some point Petry joined in mid season too. During those years Plekanec was really solid as a defensive center as well. The year Weber joined we had a really solid D defensively as well. Price has always been sheltered defensively regardless of what people who hated Therrien (not without reason) said.
The defence was alright. It was nothing special. A lot of the games were decided by Price. The whole lottery team thing that year is an exaggeration and it always has been. I’ll give you that. But he turned a bubble playoff team and into 110 points which is a super impressive feat and that’s why players, GM’s and the media went nuts.
