Even though there were a lot of ties in the 70s/early-80s, that's still one of the craziest stats I've ever heard and it amazes me that it doesn't get more attention.
Most of Dryden's career tends to be kind of dismissed as in, "He did it with the 70s' Habs, so it doesn't really count." It's all a little unfair, probably.
You look at what Bunny Larocque did and there probably is a bit to it, though Bunny did face easier opponents. Still it just shows what a powerhouse team those Habs were. Larocque actually went 57-6-11 for a stretch between 1975-1978
Still Dryden was a good goaltender and would've been good on any franchise. Just in Montreal he was consistently good and elevated to otherworldly stats.
