What are the historical contexts of the Montreal Canadiens and Carolina Hurricanes?
I'll never get over the fact, because it is always about the Leafs, that the Montreal Canadiens have been both to a Western Conference and an Eastern Conference final in five years, done a full rebuild in between, and the furthest I got was a seventh round, or seventh round, seventh game destruction of my franchise. I'm never going to get over it. I'm never going to get over it. I'm never going to get over it. But I have to get over it at least for this 10 minutes. You're never going to get over it? I'm not getting over it.
He's never going to get over it.
I'm not over it! They're so good! All right. So we got Montreal. We got Carolina. Let's do our 10-minute preview starting in net. Now, the Carolina Hurricanes, to me, their biggest weakness going into the playoffs is Freddie Anderson, who's definitely turned into a consmith candidate. So I'm eating a little crap on that one. But... Great team defense in front of him. And Freddie Anderson in the third round last year, I do want to point out, allowed 15 goals in three games against the Florida Panthers. And then we got to put that against Jakob Dobish, who has saved his team's patoot in two straight game sevens.
Has still yet to lose a game after losing a game. That's a great stat. He doesn't lose games after losing games. So there's no streakiness. There's no streakiness.
He doesn't win games after winning games either, though.
No, no.
To be fair. There is a duality to that.
Yeah. I think he did it once. Who's got the better goalie here? It's Dobish. It's Dobish.
Jesse's smiling, by the way.
What are the strengths and weaknesses of the Canadiens' goaltending?
I don't think Jesse agrees with you. But anyway, continue to make the point.
Okay. Freddie Anderson is doing his job, and he's doing it spectacularly. I don't think goaltending is a weakness for the Hurricanes at all. I'm determinedly not looking at Jesse while I say this. He's doing an incredible job behind that Hurricanes defense. Dobish is out there stealing games in slightly more precarious situations, if that makes sense. So I give it to Dobish. Right. And Jesse, who do you give it to?
Numbers-wise, right now, Frederick Anderson is far and away the best goaltender in the playoffs right now. Yes. He has a 950 save percentage. He has two shutouts so far. He is undefeated. Just two? Just two. Only two. Yeah. Crazy. And if you look at the goals that he's allowed, if you've watched both series and only the eight games that he's played, there's been like, in my mind, I got like one stinker, one and a half stinkers. He's had an unbelievable run.
All right, but here's a stat for you. He's allowed a goal in 75% of his playoff games. Wow, that's a big number.
But if I'm looking at the two goalies on paper and I just want one of them right now in a winner-take-all game, I got to lean Dobish because of the two winner-take-all games where he's a large reason that Montreal is in this conference finals. That game against Tampa is an all-timer game from him. Like, it's such an impressive performance. And then same thing against Buffalo. Like, he held his net there. He did his job each and every time. And I don't know. Dobish has been unbelievable these playoffs.
Welcome to Dobish Sprung, Justin. Welcome to Dobish Sprung. So, okay.
I don't know if Alan's going to like that. Who's the edge to? Who's the edge to? Carolina or Montreal? Montreal. We want Dobish. Okay, I just want to say that we get it clear out there. All right. Carolina fans, hate these guys. Stop hating me. Hate them. Now, let's go to the... I'm not even going to give you my pick. It's definitely Dobish. Now, let's talk about the defense here. This is where I think Carolina is at a clear advantage. Sorry, Montreal. I know Lane Hudson exists. Every time you say something slightly... Well, I don't know about Montreal. Lane Hudson! And you're like, okay, just bring it down. Jacob Slavin.
Yeah.
Best defensive defenseman in the league. I would say best defensive defenseman of this era. Probably of the last six or seven years. And criminally underrated because of the fact that he's played for the Carolina Hurricanes. They're known for their team system defense.
