This is a new series that will compare players from the current edition of the Montreal Canadiens against other teams in the League. Up first we have a match-up between the Montreal Canadiens and the Toronto Maple Leafs.
The purpose of this series isn’t to see what players are better, but instead to see how the Habs match up against other teams in different areas on the team. We’ll be looking at the top 2 forwards, top 2 D-men and the starting goalie of each team.
The players we’re going to examine today are the following;
Carey Price / Jonathan Bernier
