He just lets in a lot of bad goals, gives up lots of leads, and is really inconsistent (game to game and throughout the season).
When he is on, he delivers. 100%
But for most of last year, he was not that great.
Last year he has a hot December and April, somewhat OK/Average Feb and March (not good numbers, but won more than lost), and terrible Oct / Nov / Jan.
You just never know what you are gonna get when he starts a game.
Now is all this 100% on him? No, of course not.
Bottom line, if you had to win a game, is he the goalie you want?
Unlikely.
Monty played 62 games last season.
only 2 goalies played more games than that, Hellebuyck and Vasilevskiy.
his team made the playoffs, and he was a big reason behind that.
bygones I guess
👍Last 3 games.
EDM Loss 29 shots / 23 saves / 6 goals against / .793 save % – Gave up 2 goal lead (Trice)
NYR Loss 22 shots / 18 saves / 4 goals against / .818 save % – Gave up 2 goal lead
SEA Win 22 shots / 18 saves / 4 goals against / .818 save % – gave up the lead 3 timesNot just last night.
Look at what Wolfe did against the Habs – Habs clearly a superior team, that guy kept them in it all night.
Monty does not have to win every game, he just has to give his team a chance to win every time…. his number suggest he is not even close to doing that this year.
As I have said, he is a middle-of-the-pack goalie, not someone who will win it when it counts.
meh, he does have a slow start to the season, but he’ll be fine.
you say you consider him as an average goalie yet you talk about him like they made the playoffs last year despite having him in net for a majority of games.
I’m not saying Monty is among the most elite goalies of the league, but I find you definitely have a bias against him, it is what it is.
If he was losing, but his numbers were much better, this would be a very different conversation.
that was kind of my point, the numbers are inflated (or deflated, depending on how you look at it) with a game like last night since the opposing team was more aggressive and scored goals with fewer shots than on the night before.
but at this point I don’t think it’s worth even talking about it, you clearly aren’t a fan of Monty and never will be, and that’s fine.
End of the day, the numbers speak for themselves.
5 games, 2 wins, 3.82GAA, 0.842 Save %.
sure but objectively speaking the contrast in performances between Dobes and Monty was accentuated by the fact Dobes faced a Calgary team that is struggling to score goals, while Monty faced a much more offensively aggressive Oilers team, and it was the second night of a back-to-back for the team in front of him.
Dobes deserves the start on Saturday but both goalies aren’t necessarily worlds apart like you think they are.
Monsieur Emile with his 4th goal btw
Drouin is quite the playmaker lol
oh and apparently Laine was seeking a second medical advice or something, so he might be out for longer than we thought… with the way things have been going for the habs I doubt anyone is gonna be too sad about that loll.
edit: oh yeah you mention this in the blog, silly me hahaa
great blog as usual Hugo!
yeah, the habs are the youngest team in the league, and as you mentioned they do and will make mistakes, but they already have an exciting and solid compete level, so the near future is looking pretty damn good.
Hey guys! New blog should be up tonight and I’ll be staying up late watching our fun team try and get the win again!
Go Habs Go!
and who needs Crosby when you have Kirby Dach?!?
hey, perhaps Crosby could learn a thing or two from Dach and become even better, who knows…!
GO PENGUINS!
no, they need to start losing so that Sid can join the habs sooner rather than later
