  1. I dont even think its underperforming. You can be above expectations and still not earn an 85 or a 90. You are a fourth liner for a reason and the reason is that you dont have the same talent as drouin. When Drouin is playing badly, they might be better players. But when Drouin is playing at an 85 level... you cant say Lehkonen or Evans is also 85 cause they are above expectations. Youre still a fourth liner even playing above expectations... maybe a third liner on another team. 75 might be the best you can do, even at your best Even at their best they still arent 90% of Drouin at his best. Talent needs to be part of this. Jacques martin once said he wanted 12 tom kostopolous. Well 12 kostopolous' all playing to his max potential is still a shitty hockey team. Part of the equation is hard work, but part is also talent.

  2. For four years or so, at his peak, Price was probably the best goalie I've ever seen (OK, best after Roy in 1993; but I question whether even Roy had such a sustained run of sublime play). His level of control was extraordinary; he was so far ahead of the curve that he would routinely use deflections in order to angle the puck to his D-men in such a way as to start the transition. He barely seemed to move and yet he was in complete control. The complication is that Price has not been that guy. 2017-18 was the big drop-off and since then he's kind of bobbed around, having good stretches and not-so-good. He's akin to a forward who had about four seasons of scoring, like, 150 points and terrorizing the league, and then settles into being a mere PPG guy. What do you do with him, in terms of historical legacy? Is he one of the all-time greats, or not? I think if Price wins a Cup, the debate is settled and he will go down as an all-time great Hab. If he doesn't, he will still go down as a great, but not in the first rank. I still say his number will be retired, because he is a guaranteed Hall of Famer and because he is the only Hab to even touch genuine greatness since Roy.

  4. Habs win, but only because of Allen. I'm not sure habs win that game if Price was in net.
