Bodes well for an NHL career that he’s the go to option to kill penalties, essentially being used as a shut down and transition guy, and get he drives his teams offence in the WHL

It was a 14-0 win. I think we can forget this one

Merry Christmas! Don’t drink too much eggnog hahah Can’t watch for the world juniors now, such a big part of my holiday!

Anyone know why Price changes out of the red pads?

Brook has been something to watch this year. Super excited to watch him at the World juniors. Playing on his off side, it’ll be an interesting way to see him. that influx of talent you mentioned could turn us into a contender if they work out

Luckily I think our Kotkaniemi, Suzuki and Poehling drafts could boost us out of purgatory in 2 years time.

Is it just me, or do the Habs have wilder swings in performance than most teams? Its like they’re either garbage or a Stanley cup contender. They’ll dominate for a run of 2-3 games, and then string together 2-3 shpoop shows. Obviously every team has its ups and downs, but I feel the Habs disproportionately so. It could be fan bias but I’m not so sure. What’s the deal here?

Let’s WIN by 6 this time

Off to LA for Scherbak. He just couldn’t crack our roster with all those wingers

The guys a legend, but yea ive been laughing all night at the way his commentary has been. So delayed and tangential

Why did I have to say I loved this game

DAMNIT WHO DIDNT KNOCK ON WOOD

I’m LOVING this game so far. Knock on wood, don’t wanna jinx it

Meat (Mete) to the minors. I think this is actually necessary if we ever want him to develop offensively. He’s pretty stagnant right now and needs to get PP time and be a key cog for a significant time in Laval. The guy is still just a kid. Loads of time for him to improve yet.

I mean, it’s the right move imo. Question is, how was he ever signed to that deal in the first place? He should never have been an issue cause he should never have been signed

I honest find myself groaning when we get a power play. I’m thinking, we’ll there goes two minutes we could have scored. It’s SO bad, I feel like 5v5 is more dangerous.

CoconutMiami with two apples, thats great for him. Loved seein the kid produce

1:40 minutes into the second and we go from down by one to up by two ?!?

I think Commandant still has a point considering he listed 11 goalies well below expectations. There are obviously going to be examples here and there that don’t fit the trend

I was thinking the exact same thing with the Crosby comparison. I actually think its worse; it’s somewhat comparible to Max Pacioretty dropping from an Elite LW to a 10 point pace guy. I mean Prices numbers are fringe goalie numbers. Now I do think both Max and Carey will rebound, but become elite again? I’m definitely concerned.

.915 to .908 is massive

Not to digress, but calling Petry a number #4 isn’t giving him a whole lot of credit. Sure he’s not a #1, ideally slots on the second pair, but Petry steps up as an honest #2 d man when he’s needed

This is what scares me too though. Sometimes I feel like the mental issues are worse than the physical. But if Price can sort things out and it’s truly just “all in his head”, then there’s no reason he can’t be an elite goalie again

So far this season, Carey Price has showed up as the same Price we got last season. Thats a far cry from the elite goalie we grew accustomed to. Prices recent level isn’t even that of an average goalie; he’s sub par. All of this at 10+ million for the better part of the next decade. There is obviously huge cause for concern there, but my question is this: Do you think Carey Price will ever regain his elite form, or at least return to a top tier goalie? And if not, how much trouble is that contract going to cause the team moving forward?

It hurts so bad. I hope this is a wake up call!
