If you look at the advanced stats, we got out-goalied. One is clearly a vezina favorite and one is not. Simply as that.Oh we got some big saves, should have been down only by a goal that period if the team controller didn’t disconnect in the last 3 seconds.
Oh for damn certain that Hellebyuk > Monty, in general and last game. But Monty had actually a good game, for him, and we should have lost 2-1, but he needed to be perfect to win this game, which he wasn't, but he made many clutch saves, especially in the second period.If you look at the advanced stats, we got out-goalied.

On paper the Habs were the better team up front.

Well I think it's more fair to compare him to himself rather than to Connor Hellebuyck.Nice caveat
Yes he wasn't shit yesterday but he was still average at best. I've said it a hundred times, he is what he is and my frustration stems from his clear overuse. It's on Marty. There is zero justification for not playing Dobes more. If Montembeault is back in net tomorrow I'll legit lose it.Well I think it's more fair to compare him to himself rather than to Connor Hellebuyck.
Where the trainer pointed, I wonder if it was a broken ankle or legugh
Guhle
This is a great article. Seems others agree that Dobes isn't some wilting flower that needs sheltered.Price may be an anti-vax gun nut, but he knows about goalies.
Price On Dobes
Speaking to RDS former Montreal Canadiens goaltender Carey Price had something to say about rookie goaltender Jakub Dobes.ca.sports.yahoo.com
I think they should ride the hot hand. Then when he loses switch. I do think Monty would be better with more rest.Other than the contract, I can see no valid reason for giving Monty the net for 80% of the starts. He hasn't played well enough to earn that.
