Habs and Jets are pretty even it seems and Sen-Canucks-Flames are all lesser teams to date, even with 2-4-4 record recently; which i doubt the next ten will be as bad.

We need a centre to step up big and Price to get good again. That is doable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alfredoh2009 Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Habs are 4th in the North Division, three points ahead of Calgary with a game in hand ant three behind Edmonton with two games in hand. More importantly, they seem to have stabilized the team 5on5 (across the league): * 2nd on Save % (Jennings trophy ?) * 2nd on possession (Crosi % and Fenwick %) * 10th (top 1/3) in Scoring Chances % , and 2nd in High Danger Scoring Chances %) * Unfortunately they are 20th in High Danger Scoring Chances Converted % , which is what happened in February.

They aren’t winning the Jennings. The Jennings, like the regular win-lose is not determined solely in 5 on 5 play. We are in the bottom third in the league in GAA.

It is not as bad as you said, even with the putrid February the team had, the Habs are 9th best in goals allowed and 11th best in save% With the improved special units and half the season to go, it is still possible to be considered for the Jennings: the two goalies have the talent to do it, I think the team is trending that way.

For some reason when you click on their GAA under team stats the sort starts from the highest, I didn’t really look at the teams just that we were in the bottom 10 (which is actually top 10. In any event I don’t think there is any way we even get into the top 5 - let alone win the Jennings. Even through the Jennings is awarded to the goalies on the team, it really is a team award (NYI GM have got good goaltending and defense, but no way do they have the best goalie, or dmen in the league. They do however play a great defensively as a team. I don’t think our goaltending, defense, or PK is good enough to be much higher than we are. I’d say our goaltending has the potential to be above average, the defense is below average, and the special teams horrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made the bold prediction before the beginning of the season that Price and Allen would win the Jennings.... I am biased about that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alfredoh2009 Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Habs trending towards a place in the playoffs. The loses in OT really hurt their place in the standings; but with the recent string of wins, there is hope that they will do well in the post-season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have won one of 10 OT/SO games; if they were a reasonable .500 in OT/SO, it would be an extra four points. Still in fourth place, but tied with the Oilers on points. The OT losses are now water under the bridge, as are some other bad nights. Time to keep moving forward, second place is well within reach if the boys can keep up the recent pace. First place? Let's get to second and then look at the next step. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Habs? 3.27. Not bad for a team that has no superstars and relies on scoring by committee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

habs#4,9,10,33 Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 So we’re playing the Flames 5 times here shortly. I’m thinking (hoping) we will win 3 out of 5 and put the flames to rest for good! A bit nervous about all this, they have played us strong and well so far thus season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
