Mike Condom did his job excellently, he had a tough night last night but playing 9 games and being the difference is a couple is all you can ask of a guy who was in the echl 2 years ago. Good for him :thumbs_up:

Mr price is back, so let's score some goals to welcome him back. Say 5 would be nice.

I think at the time of Price's injury if someone told us Habs' fans that Price would be out 9 games and that Condon would go 5-4-0 we would have been happy. 5-2-2 means that the team got points in 7 of 9 the games Condon started. That was a phenomenal performance by a rookie backup who was in the AHL last year and the ECHL not long before that

He also made two huge saves last night when it was 3-0. Could have been 5-0 easily. So he gave us a chance to get back in it and we did. I really like the kid.

Moi aussi.

Hey wouldn't it be great to chase Halak out of the net? Like say in the 1st period. OOOOh I love that thought.

I think teams were figuring Condon out a bit (e.g., taking advantage of his aggressive tendency to challenge the shooter by maing back-door plays or banging in rebounds), but that he remains a good goalie regardless.

Nevertheless...Carey! Carey! Carey! The Goalie God returns!!!

Glad to see our guys on the attack early. Beyond pissed that the blatant goalie interference was ignored both initially and upon video review...that call is such an arbitrary joke thus far it's not even funny.

How the hell do you know what interference is anymore?

Price was barely touched. The coaches challenge shouldn't be the return of the crease rule.

I agree; I didn't think it was blatant interference. That said, I think it was a worthwhile challenge given what has been called incidental contact so far.

I'm not saying I want every incidence of that level of contact to be the standard of that rule...I'm saying that since that level most often has been called interference, that should have been too. I just want CONSISTENCY one way or the other. So far, any amount of contact that is likely to have prevented the goalie from having an unmolested attempt to make the save...or pushed the goalie out of position, has been called. It's undeniable that there was a push that not only made it harder for Price to come up with that puck off of his chest/shoulder area, but it also delayed him in kicking that leg out to attempt the save as his weight was back some from center line. So by the definition they laid out at the start of the season, and have used to call back many thus far on challenges, that should have been called back.
