Sorry but 1 player doesn't separate a lottery team from a 2nd place team. Not even Wayne Gretzky or Hasek

how do you figure they are a lottery team?


n 2014-2015 Montreal was:

20th in Goals For/Game
25th in Shots For/Game
21st in Shots Against/Game
23rd in CF%
20th in FF%


And yet, despite being out shot and out-possessed by almost every team, and scoring less than 2/3rds of the league, they are

1st [Tied] for Goals Against/Game
5th in 5v5 Goals F/A

Without Carey Price, the Canadiens are no better than 20th in the league, and more than likely worse than that.

They are a legitimately BAD team without Carey Price.

Their GAA and goal diff is 100% the by-product of Carey Price's ungodly save percentage.

Montreal's defence is not great, its definitely below average. They give up a ton of shots from the slot. Subban is great, and Markov is good, but after that it was guys like Beaulieu, Gonchar, Emelin, and Gonchar all year. It was an ugly sight.

Man, you know you're in trouble when you've got two Sergei Gonchars on your blueline
