The fact of the matter is that even when the Habs are winning Max is rarely a root cause of it. I can't recall many games in which Max was the reason we won it or lost it. Mostly he's a non-factor despite his offensive output.
Err...I've been advocating the trade of Patches for a while, and I certainly haven't been defending him specially in the playoffs...but Patches have been one of the top, if not THE top player with game winning goals in the league for a while now (excluding this year). Sure, he may have a tendency to disappear in big games but to say he is a non-factor for us winning is not really true.
