Habs Fan in Edmonton Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Price starting, players really want to score for him, Habs due to score some goals. Certainly not a guaranteed win but as close as you will get with this Habs team. I predict a 6-2 Habs win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GHT120 Posted April 21, 2022 Author Share Posted April 21, 2022 42 minutes ago, Habs Fan in Edmonton said: Price starting ... The question is becoming when will Price decide to take a game off? With Allen out and Montembeault playing/available through an injury that has been rumoured to require minor surgery whenever his season is done, it wouldn't shock me if he wants all the games ... the games are every second night, except vs NYR which is on a third night, so barring any negative reaction injury-wise he would seem capable of doing it.

Not certain that a maximum of 7 games in 15 days, no back-to-backs, to end the season constitutes "grinding" ... ***NOT*** suggesting it is necessarily a good idea but could see Price wanting to do it ... and if he remains healthy I suspect they would let him if he asks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what constitutes "grinding". Jake Allen played 35 games this year. This will be Carey Price's 2nd game in 3 days. If he can't handle that then he certainly won't be of interest to anyone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 It comes down to his knee. If it's fine, and there's no issues, then why the heck not throw him out there. I'm sure he wants to play, and good as he is, it probably won't ruin the tank, given that we can't score. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They played Allen game after game when he returned from injury and he saw a lot of rubber in those games: thus, « grind » Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlbalr Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 What's the old saying that Rem Pitlick should try heeding - if at first you don't succeed, try shooting the puck? Three good shooting opportunities, three missed passes. I'm a little stumped on how Hoffman's goal counted, Rule 38.2 appears to allow for a challenge for a play like that: Missed Game Stoppage Event in the Offensive Zone Leading to a Goal A play that results in a “GOAL” call on the ice where the defending team claims that the play should have been stopped by reason of any play occurring in the offensive zone that should have resulted in a play stoppage caused by the attacking team but did not. A glove pass in the offensive zone is a play that would result in a play stoppage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomh009 Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 Thanks! I suppose the refs felt it was not a deliberate passing motion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomh009 Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 And I think we are back at the defensive breakdowns again. This time it's Price in net, and not at his sharpest, but the D corps is giving up all kinds of opportunities, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This wasnt a reviewable play in 2018-19 when the sharks scored a game 3 OT winner against st. Louis on a hand pass. But after that series it changed.

dlbalr Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 This hasn't been a pretty game by any stretch but with neither team being interested in defence, it has been an interesting one at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
