a bit of a reach to say a guy who has played 37 career playoff games and lost half of them to be "good" in playoffs lolYou don't know Allen. Or hockey. Can tell by your posts. You look at stats alone. Narrow picture allows for big mistakes.
Allen good coaching young goalies. Also good in playoffs because he has high ability to study opposition netminding and find their flaws. Allen also good at copying their styles and in practice teammates practice where to shoot. Allowing his teammates to open holes in opposition. Takes time to do though, does not work in regular season. Both teams GM said similar after Cup runs. They wouldn't all be wrong.
Many say Allen be good goalie coach someday.
Habs among league worst giving up high percentage scoring chances. Rookie defense and MSL has little structure to his team. Allows players to go. Maybe miss Savard also. Yet Habs goalies are around .900% save percentage
