Maybe Price is waiting for the Medicago vaccine.
He's gonna have to wait a while
Long way to go until 2024
Maybe Price is waiting for the Medicago vaccine.
The past 10 years, of no actual direction picked has cost the team big time...He has, but the baggage has piled up. It's clear we need to move on from him. Hopefully a fresh start elsewhere will be good for him.
I'm way past the point where I just want change and a move in the right direction. I don't care if it takes 2-3 years. This team needs clear direction and a definite destination so to speak.
The most egregious of these contracts was the Gallagher deal.The past 10 years, of no actual direction picked has cost the team big time...
We had the make da playoff, and anythng can happen mantra.......all the while moving the goalposts each and every season to placate the upstairs management.....rinse and repeat.
Moving forward with the new regime, will have a more defined direction, and we will all see it.
Hopefully we can get some futures for Price, and they will have to retain some salary.
The sad part is, we will have to retain salalry for a few of our vets, which did not need to happen, but I digress....
And to top it off...............it sent the GM into a crying fit...we all love Gally, but come on..........one of the strangest moments in MB's tenure. The contract was so bad....I know he is the little engine that could, but man we all knew he would decline quickly, and it has happened already...The most egregious of these contracts was the Gallagher deal.
We were a bad team and he had been declining but had shown a little bit of a return to form so we should have traded him while his value was still high.
Instead we gave him an absolutely ridiculous contract and he predictably went back into decline and now we're stuck with him.

Wonder if he would go to the world championships in May to get some games in? Maybe play the last few games of the season
Pretty slick and pretty PR savvy selling all the right buttons
I imagine Price could’ve come back a month ago.
I don't think he will keep playing just for the 40 millions.Pretty slick and pretty PR savvy selling all the right buttons
What I don't hear is how he's going to retire...but of course she forgot those 40 million reasons.
I don't think he will keep playing just for the 40 millions.
I think he want to come back when ready see if he still can play at high level. Then hope to be traded, if not I think he plays 2 more years and calls its quits.
And him staying on vacation...err fighting his his dark side would be insurance fraud. But hey, he's our guy and it's OK......
The last thing on earth anyone wants or should underwrite is the NHL.
No goalie since the new rules were established post-2004 lockout has ever carried their team - the game is simply too fast, players too strong, and technology has turned the one piece sticks into rocket launchers - add to it the games getting faster, players stronger w each passing season).Price is still one of the best in the league when healthy but I don't think that it is realistic to expect him to carry a team on his back at this stage of his career. A fresh start elsewhere would be the best scenario for everyone involved. I would like to see him get a chance to win a cup on a contending team but who knows if it will happen.
There is one goalie since 2004 who’s name is a homophone for carry. That’s gotta count for something.No goalie since the new rules were established post-2004 lockout has ever carried their team - the game is simply too fast, players too strong, and technology has turned the one piece sticks into rocket launchers - add to it the games getting faster, players stronger w each passing season).
When it comes to the habs I disagree. We have had mediocre to average rosters through most of Prices time here and he has done all he can. We have been spoiled by spectacular saves on a nightly basis with him in net and every time NHL players are polled they always seem to vote him to be the best goalie in the league.No goalie since the new rules were established post-2004 lockout has ever carried their team - the game is simply too fast, players too strong, and technology has turned the one piece sticks into rocket launchers - add to it the games getting faster, players stronger w each passing season).
No question. MB owes Carey a lot. He made people think we had a team.When it comes to the habs I disagree.

Some people here forget the many nights over the last 10 years when this team has been outshot and outplayed and still got the win. I have also read many posts calling Price a bum when we lost 3-1 and he had 40 saves, many of them highlight-reel quality. I was never a fan of building a team around a star goalie and I retain that same view. Having Price in the net gave job security to the joker, it actually caused us to endure him as GM for 5 years longer than we should have because he couldn't build a team to save his life.No question.

Someone should have told MB..........No goalie since the new rules were established post-2004 lockout has ever carried their team - the game is simply too fast, players too strong, and technology has turned the one piece sticks into rocket launchers - add to it the games getting faster, players stronger w each passing season).
Like the second, 5 year extension....MB did not deserve.No question. MB owes Carey a lot. He made people think we had a team.
