No question Price is the best goalie in the league, he's easily the most likeable guy on Montreal.

Honestly, I think he's played up and made to look better than he is because of his likability. If he acted like a Smith or Lehner, I doubt anyone would call him the best in the league.

Price is supremely talented and a really likeable guy but I remain unconvinced he's good enough to carry a team like Quick or Lundqvist can in the playoffs

Hell even Anderson is a better playoff goalie

Gosh I hope they dont find a way to lure Babcock there this summer.

The absolute worst would be seeing him go to either Montreal or Toronto. heard the Leafs are going after him pretty aggressively

Ahh, was out for a while, funny how the air is sweeter and cleaner, as if there has been a cosmic cleansing and rebalancing of the universe.

Habs are a lil strict on having bilingual coaches, so theres that. You also have to factor in Theirren is not guaranteed to get canned he did just win them the division and a playoff round. Toronto could possibly get babs but its also not a done deal, Detroit still in the mix, with Toronto looking to rebuild as well.

Lol at Therrian saying that the team ran out of gas. That is such a piss poor excuse.

I mean just look at what the Kings had to go through last season to win the cup.

Montreal has to have a bilingual coach, right?

Plus Babcock isn't magic. Detroit has struggled without Lidstrom... one of the greatest defencemen of all time. And as Datsyuk/Zetterberg age - it's only getting worse. They have a great system but some of drafting/developing is luck.

Players didn't show up because the coach didn't show up because the gm didn't pick the right coach to make the players show up.

It's top-down IMO.

In any case. With the Habs eliminated, I think I might take a small hiatus from here until the draft or if something interesting happens on our end. If I don't see you until July: enjoy yourselves! First year on this forum has been fun.
