Go Habs Go!

Last night was the first game I missed all year. This team has obviously surprised immensely. They are playing very fast hockey which can be loose at times. If Price can pick up his play they have a chance to keep this record up.

Btw can the fans who mock Price shut the frank up. I’ve had enough them. Pick on the other team. Pick on the refs. Boo the whole team when they lay an egg. But leave the goalies alone. The Rags and Sabres games we had about thirty odd man rushes. So the D was a huge problem. Price didn’t play great but goodness he was hung out to dry on almost all the goals.

Nailed it. Odd man rushes are no goalie’s friend and it can’t be blamed on them either.

That's crap... Price is suppose to be the backbone of this franchise, it's highest paid player... his play has been subpar to put it nicely!! His save % and GAA is amongst the worst in the NHL!! Booo the man and anyone who's feelings get hurt from hearing the boos, you realize there's a mute button on your TV right? Quit making excuses for the 84 million dollar man!!

Price has been terrible and anyone defending him is either not watching or just lying to themselves. but the defence has been awful as well for the most part. the difference is that no one expects much from this defence. with Weber out, on the nights Karl Alzner is mercifully out of the lineup, the collective cap hit of the 6 dmen in the lineup is roughly equal to Price's. so yes, he gets held to a higher standard.

Saint-Louis est aujourd’hui le plus crédible athlète de cinq pieds et huit pouces du sport professionnel.

Je crois que Bertrand Raymond devrait s'informer sur un certain Yogi Berra.

I think the guy is totally depressed. Probably has been for at least a couple of years. The Montreal media and fanbase totally destroyed him mentally. The guy isn't mentally strong enough to play in that kind of market, likely will never find his game back unless he's moved elsewhere.

Je pense que Bertrand Raymond devrait juste prendre sa retraite. Criss de vieux singe...

as long as the habs are averaging almost 3.5 goals a game, we will be fine.

The Price they're defending is the Price from 3 years ago, he's been injured or average for quite some time now, he is who he is.... a middle of the pack goalie who allows way too many soft goals, he just happens to be the highest paid goalie! They will most likely be buying him out at 35, I don't see him ever returning to a form that justifies such a high cap hit!

But that Max Domi boy!!

maybe that would make sense if his entire career hadn't been so up and down to this point. it's not the first time he's looked terrible. most of this career, he's either played at an all-star level or he's looked like one of the worst starting goalies in the league. and that pattern started very early on in his career.

If the fans and media have been so horrible to him why in the hell would he resign for 8 years???

Might have a depressive personality, gets ups and downs...

Because he's dumb. And probably knew nobody would throw that kind of money at him except MB.

Tatar has been playing well, a little streaky but he's definitely putting up the points... wasn't a fan of the Chucky for Domi swap at first but Max seems like a keeper

Also attitude wise can't say he's been spotless. Remember his rookie year when he gained 60 pounds and when playoffs came he could barely move his fat ass in there?

Gotta say those two trades are probably going to extend Bergevin's carreer by at least two years.

The Vegas trade is looking great already and Suzuki hasn't even played a shift yet... its ways away still but it will be hard to keep him off the roster next season
