Habs bits of the week
Thought I would highlight a few articles that I read over the last week.
Price/Halak – The Stats – October 2009
by Chris Boyle for Eyes on the Prize
This is a great article on the goaltender statistics and it cuts through to the bare facts.
Chris does a great analysis of the shots both Halak and Price have faced will visual graphs displaying where the shots were taken from as well as the save percentage per area.
Really worth the read!

AND
UPDATES: Walsh controversy
by Rocket for All Habs
The night that I wasn’t on Twitter at all (you can find me on twitter at @yves_on_habs) there was a bit of controversy as Halak’s agent Mr Allan Walsh tweeted a comment about Carey Price’s stats. If you want the whole story please read the articles on the All Habs blog!
Well written and described.
Learning to live without Markov
by Topham for Lions in Winter
This article contains some numbers showing just what the team’s play has been like when Markov has been out. Some interesting numbers in this article and if you thought Markov was an important player the team’s most important player this article might provide proof of his value through the last few seasons.
Andrei, I miss you!

Draft of 2009
Well, the 2009 NHL draft has now come and gone.
Every year about this time I anticipate the draft… I love seeing how teams will attempt to address current and future needs. Love the deals.. the drama (maybe more so this year)… love seeing certain GMs be aggressive to get the picks they want (attention Garth Snow).
I was pleased to see the Montreal Canadiens choose Louis Leblanc… now to be honest I was almost scared to witness the potential rath of the fans if someone other then Leblanc was picked…. oh, and I was amused to see that not even the prescence of Habs legends could keep the crowd from expressing their displeasure with Gary Bettman.
There are 2 guys that have got me curious….
Alexander Avtsin 6′2, 198 lbs.
Word is he has great offensive skill… and of course, his showing up to the NHL draft shows that he must want to play in the NHL. Very interesting pick. I heard someone say on TSN yesterday he was rated 18th in european players.
Can’t wait to see him play.
Joonas Nattinen 6-2 183 lbs
At the world under 18, he was top 3 in faceoffs… an important skill. He’s a playmaker… a playmaker with size. Hockey’s Future (check the link) says they believe he could be a special player as he grows
Also… can’t wait to see him play.
I should probably mention at this point… i can’t wait to see them all play!
Here are some articles of interest.

And the Saga continues
Obviously, the centennial year isn’t shaping up to be what some people expected….
The latest saga continues.
As a Habs fan, I find this totally frustrating.

How do you salvage this season if you’re Bob Gainey?
Trade for Vinny Lecavalier? (And win the cup??)
Would that make it all better?
