Habsfan Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 So, should Carey get both starts? I think he should! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trizzak Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Hard no. Montoya generally plays well enough for the team to win and Carey needs the rest when he can get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Machine of Loving Grace Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 If I'm Julien I give Montoya both starts unless he has a bad game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's goofy HR, they play 3 games in 4 days, you want him to play all three? Or just Sat-Sun and then sit till Thursday? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habs owned the 70's Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Why would you play price consecutive nights when you have a competent backup? Dumb idea... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IN THE HEARTS OF MEN Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 He essentially went a week without a game out west... so I'm a believer that he's gotten plenty of rest this year. I personally would play him sunday Tuesday thurs Saturday. He hasn't played back to backs all year so why start now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeLassister Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Hard yes. You play for the top of the division. Gotta send a message. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KoRP Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Absolutely play Price in both... the reason? Just what Joe said. ^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playoffs trumps reg season importance of division 1st or 2nd slotting and message is that we will beat you with Price on Sat and with our back up on Sunday.

That seems a very short sighted point of view to worry about one game in reg season, but we all know it aint happening, that this late into the year he starts playing back to back games. Why would even think Bergevin or coach Julie would even consider this as an option? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who's the Montreal Canadiens' boss ? That's right, Geoff Moslon. Ask him if home advantage for Playoffs means anything to his wallet.

Assuming that the owner cares about his wallet, Moslon probably told Bergevin at the deadline that it was important in his eyes that the team : 1) makes the playoffs 2) gets home advantage 3) makes it as deep as possible into the playoffs Moves were made by the GM to ensure that. Then, the message keeps moving down the depth chart. Next in line, the coach. What is the best way to ensure #1 and #2 ? Playing your best goalie as much as you can. When #1 and #2 are achieved, move to #3. Time to rest Price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stogey24 Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Well now your changing what you said. Anyways, I highly doubt Molson went to Beregvin and stated the complete obvious. The goal is to have a fresh and healthy team heading into the playoffs. Securing home ice advantage takes a backseat to that. This is the benefit of being a top team. You don't have the fight to the bone down the stretch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has had lots of rest, and after this he can rest more. Montoya can play some starts going into the playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
