Pavelec is a terrible goalie who reacts poorly to the puck and has terrible rebound control. He's an Olympian because there's not very many good Czech goalies and if you go look on the Jets board the majority support Montoya over Pavelec.
A good chunk of MTL fans wanted to ship out Price and go with Halak. The cream rises to the top my friend and I have faith in Pavelec as an outside observer.
