revvvrob Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 I guess then that I'll go Phoenix. the old Jets weren't always very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted August 28, 2013 Author Share Posted August 28, 2013 Haha I went to update it and was like "wha... classic Brian." I think it's Anaheim. 21st (3.05). If it's not Anaheim, I am going with Minnesota. Why? Because I am sure it is a wrong answer and I want this to last as long as possible. Tied for 10th (3.36). It's got to be Phoenix! Got to be! I guess then that I'll go Phoenix. the old Jets weren't always very good. The Habs average more goals per game vs the old Jets/Phoenix team than any other active team with 4.33 (in 64 games). The Kings are 2nd with 4.20, those are the only two active teams that Montreal scores more than four goals per game against. Including defunct franchises, the Canadiens scored more per game against the Quebec Bulldogs in 1919-20, averaging 8.5 goals per game in eight head-to-head matchups (in a 24-game season). I do have a link for this but I'd like to hold off on posting it until I steal a couple more questions from that site, including the following which is sure to elicit a collective groan: Name the active team that the Habs allow the fewest goals against per game.

JoeLassister Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Name the active team that the Habs allow the fewest goals against per game. (You had to know this one was coming...) I'll start with the Sharks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted August 29, 2013 Author Share Posted August 29, 2013 I'll start with the Sharks. That's a good guess to start, the Habs allow the 6th fewest goals per game against San Jose (2.54). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revvvrob Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 how about Atlanta/Winnipeg? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted August 29, 2013 Author Share Posted August 29, 2013 how about Atlanta/Winnipeg? Well that one didn't take long to get. The Canadiens allow 2.20 goals per game against them, the fewest of anyone in the league. Onto a new question (from the same source as the last two so I can't give up the link for proof yet): Which active team do the Habs have the lowest point percentage against? It's over .500 by the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlbalr Posted August 29, 2013 Author Share Posted August 29, 2013 All of these were really good guesses. Florida. I didn't think they'd be getting guessed so early given the fact they haven't been very good over the years. They're 2nd last (.520). New Jersey 4th last (.529). Anaheim Quacks 3rd last (.523).

There was a stat for a really long time that the only team Montreal didn't have a winning record against was Florida. I don't know if that still stands, but it was mentioned a lot a few years ago.

JoeLassister Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Damn. Imagine this run on Deal or No Deal... taking out 3 of the top 4 answers without the best one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if that still stands, but it was mentioned a lot a few years ago. The Habs are 34-31-9 (6 ties, 3 OTL) against them. Montreal won all three against them last year but lost all four the year before so they haven't been above .500 for long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlbalr Posted September 3, 2013 Author Share Posted September 3, 2013 Columbus? Despite them being a relatively new team, Montreal has had their struggles against them as their points percentage is 7th worst among active teams (.545).

dlbalr Posted September 3, 2013 Author Share Posted September 3, 2013 Buffalo? Yep, at just .506. Here's a different one to go away from the team stuff (same source as the last few questions though). Name the goalie with the best career save percentage as a member of the Habs (minimum 100 GP). There is a bit of an asterisk to this one, however, as the stat wasn't officially tracked until 1983...so don't pick a goalie from before then.

Another new one, this one potentially of the slightly more challenging variety. One player in franchise history has averaged over a goal per game. Name that player.

Another new one, this one potentially of the slightly more challenging variety. One player in franchise history has averaged over a goal per game. Name that player. Not looking them up. The Huet one was easy I think he even won the Jennings on year for best save % in the league. I remember how pumped I was when he was traded!
