I suppose I should have been more clear in saying recent history.

Not sure why I have to do that, as most people around here know how irrelevant stats from 7 years ago are.

If you want to slice and chop an already small (30 game) sample into smaller, meaningless pieces to suit your argument, have at it. But when I see that his career SV% against the Sens is .919 and his career SV% against everyone is also .919%, I lean towards you and yours being full of shit when you claim to have his "number"

This may shock you, I know. But we're going into the playoffs.

7 year splits are so hot right now. So hot.

Well, not really...because 7 years ago, he struggled, and 6 years ago he also posted a single season SV% against you guys lower than his career average. If you find that data useless, I can always manually remove it and give you a better indicator of how he's done against you over the last 5 years?

Oh...and would you look at that, 5 years ago he had a .875 in 2 games against the Sens...I bet you if I removed that, it would give us a better indicator of how Price has played against the Sens in more recent seasons.

If you want to bark up this tree, I don't think you're going to like how the numbers look.
 
Never mind the fact if we're going to randomly use 2 game samples, even with Price sucking against Ottawa this year, he was still 1-1 against them. So if we can split the games in the playoffs that Price has a sub-.900 save percentage, I could live with that.

We fully understand the concept.

But we're entering a potential 7 game series. Not another 82 game season.

I think this post actually demonstrates the opposite. If you're trying to predict how he'll perform over a 7 game series, a larger sample gives you a much better indication than a tiny one.

Holy sh1t guys, you are overdoing this big time.

I understand sample sizes. We are talking about recent history...the Sens have been able to put up alot of goals on him. Is it indicative of Price's overall play? No. Does it give the Sens and their fans confidence that he's not some impregnable fortress.

I've already clearly stated that Price gets the edge, and that I pick him above the Sens goaltending.
 
I think people are forgetting the most important stat of them all, head to head playoff record between the two clubs:

Ottawa's record vs Montreal: 4-1
Montreal's record vs Ottawa: 1-4
