According to this site, MacDonald's played against the Canadien's twice in his career.
First occasion was in 2008 while he was with the Islanders. Played the full game plus overtime, let in three goals and had a save percentage of .885.
Second occasion was in 2009 while with the Leafs. Played 40 minutes without letting in a goal on 18 shots.
So yeah, basically this.
Sounds like typical coach BS if he said it was due to past success just didn't want to say Ramo needs a little more practice or I think MacD is better.
