Habs vs Former Habs at the Quarter Point

Jaroslav-halak_medium

I haven't taken a look at this since the 10 game mark (October 27), but it seems that the former Habs players are now gaining a slight edge on their current counterparts.

At the quarter season point, it is still too soon to draw much of a conclusion, especially considering how unstable the Canadiens' lineup is these days

Most of the players on both sides have kept up their early season pace going, with exceptions being Tanguay, Lang and Koivu, who have picked it up for the former Habs and Marc-Andre Bergeron, who now leads all Canadiens' D in scoring. Tailing off somewhat, are the Bruins' Michael Ryder and Steve Begin.

Most notable among these statistics may just be the save percentages - added to this list for the first time here. I chose to include them for obvious reasons, that being the Canadiens duos numbers as compared to the former netminders now tending goal for stronger clubs.

The Habs much maligned duo of Halak and Price take a beating a little too often, but as it appears here, they could just as well be the team's saving grace.

Incidentally, I'm not much of a video gamer when it comes to such things as NHL 2010 or EA Sports and stuff. (I used to joke that X-Box sounded like a former girlfriend!) A reader of this site has been looking into aligning the teams above against one another for a series of games. That sounded like an interesting offer, and I took him up on it. Once the results come forth, you'll read about it here.

Ummm No

Francois Beauchemin never played for the Habs, you’re thinking of Francis Bouillon 19-1-1-2, an easy error to make, even if you are a writer with the resources to check your facts before uploading…

UmmmmmmYes!!!

Beauchemin was drafted AND played 1 game for the Habs. Also played for there AHL affiliate the Hamilton Bulldogs. Sorry..fail for you, know it all.

Beauchemin played 1 game for Montreal and was a Bulldog for 3 years. He’s one that regrettably got away, and that’s why he’s on the list.

nimporte quoi.

Well, you need to check your facts before posting a comment, because he was right. François Beauchemin did play with the habs in the past. I’m 100% sure.

Oh and might I add...

….an easy error to make, check your facts before uploading….. Man that was very, very satisfying

I’m guessing you’re being sarcastic about Kovalev seeing as how he’s being completely outplayed by Metropolit.
