It is time to kick off a brand-new hockey season with Global News hockey analyst Brian Wilde. He joins Global News Morning’s host Laura Casella with a recap on the start of the Habs season.The Montreal Canadiens have ridden outstanding goaltending to a fast start this season. Certainly it is early returns, but Samuel Montembeault has been the best goalie in the league in the first week.
Guhle has been knocking on the door, and he may be finally breaking through this season. Guhle has upped his game clearly. It’s remarkable timing considering he had an appendectomy only three weeks ago, and had a short camp with only a game in the pre-season. Apart from the number one goalie, Guhle has been the most consistent player on the club so far, and only Lane Hutson is close to him on defence. Once again, St. Louis rotated his pairings in the second period to get the two together more. It looks like Hutson and Guhle could become a regular pair.The Canadiens were awful in the first, but in the second, they turned it around for their best period of the season. Nick Suzuki had a two point night.
Dach is not the same player after his reconstructive knee surgery. He is showing caution which is natural because he likely feels some fear still about the strength in that knee. He also doesn’t skate as well. Again, the organization has to hope this is temporary. Stay tuned. Stay patient. There’s a lot of season left, but this is not the same Dach, and this is a discouraging start.The Canadiens results have far outshone their analytics this season. The won-loss record is good, but the underlying numbers are actually not good at all. The only analytic that is in Montreal’s favour is the goaltending of Montembeault.To start the season, Montembeault in his first two games, managed a Goals Saved Above Expected of 6.6.
