He is the best goalie in the league
You can't blame Price for signing the deal. The GM gave it to him. Not to mention said GM has stated on multiple occasions that Carey is the game plan. He does need to be better, but you shouldn't hold his contract over his head.
For all we know, the conversation could have gone like this:
Price: I love it here and want to retire a Hab. Ideally, I'd like to be compensated accordi...
MB: Here's $80m for 8 years!
Price: Er, ok. I think we should leave some cap room for defence.
MB: No worries! Here's $82m then. I got plans for defence!
Price: Oh, thanks. $82m seems like a lot though...
MB: OK!!! $84m it is then. And don't worry about your defence. I have plans to make it better than last year.
Great goalie but with one of the worst contracts in the league I hope by some miracle he ends up traded.
Gotta believe in Price , I always did and every time he did prove doubters wrong.
The problem with montreal is that just with the sheer numbers of fans theres a high volume of idiots who will always be very vocal about dismissing him.Notice how dumb people always seem to be the ones talking the most and being 100% confident in whatever crap theyre spewing.
Price is a proven superstar who can handle everything the Montreal market has to throw at him and theres always a chance he goes beast mode in the playoffs with some timely support from offense and yeah we could win a cup. Its a very long shot the way our team is built sadly but its not his fault , if everyone was as focused on improving there game as he is we would be great.
Some day when his career is over people will realise hes holding all the records for a habs goalie and maybe understand the chance they had to watch him for so long.
Price has been bad, but if it's going to happen this season, best now. As long as finds his game come playoffs...
All the "regular season" records of the Habs.
i don't see where this "best goalie in the league" or "best goalie in the world" nonsense is coming from,
he was the best in 2015...yes....times change
he is not even top 5 today IMO
Nothing I can do for you if thats what you truly believe.I guess we'd have a bunch of cups if we had Matt Murray right ? Or maybe Corey Crawford? Has nothing to do with Crosby Malkin Kessel Toews Kane Keith, 100% goalie huh?
Price is ridiculously overrated among many Habs fans, he's a sacred cow.
Goes from a Hart/lindsay/vezina season to “ridiculously overrated” in what? 2-3 seasons? Give your head a shake. He’s off to a bad start, and I dont like the contract either but he’s done enough to warrant some patience....more than 5 games anyway.
Price has won many games for us over the years. There aren't too many that we've lost because of him. I didn't see the game Saturday (though I did see one of the goals and it was weak) but it sounds like he was bad. As long as he's his old self going forward then I don't care about the contract. If he dips though...
