I Really don't like the decision here. It's like best case for Price is that he looks like old Carey but that's just bad news for us in terms of the draft. If Price looks bad it helps us tank but looks worse for him and the team... should've just sat out for the rest of the season and tried to rebound next year. I think he can bounce back but man I don't like the idea of him coming back this season.
Yes and Teows delivered at a time when it counted. Over and over.Toews is worse........neither contract is great, but Toews is way worse. At least he can say he has 3 Cups......Price had Therrien...lol
We'd be a better team with Toews and a 6.5m goalie than we would with price and a 6.5m center.Yes and Teows delivered at a time when it counted. Over and over.
Easier to take his contract.
You know what a mess your organization is when its all but agreed your best player and mvp should just go start his summer.......in March! For that to be even considered, the teams games have to be completely inconsequential in the NHL picture. Normally it would be absolutely ridiculous to even consider telling an elite player "dont worry about it, see ya next season"Julien sounded pretty defensive when questioned with his return. Said he feels it’s sending the wrong message to the team to sit an athlete like Price 100% healthy and ready to compete. Either way, from a fan standpoint it’s a losing situation. If he plays well, he’s wrecking the tank and if he gets lit up, people will be all over him. Either way, I don’t think he really cares.
Wont argue with that.We'd be a better team with Toews and a 6.5m goalie than we would with price and a 6.5m center.
Typical of Montreal these days.....another lose / lose situation.I Really don't like the decision here. It's like best case for Price is that he looks like old Carey but that's just bad news for us in terms of the draft.

What's Crawford's situation? We could send them Carey and Max in exchange for him and JT.We'd be a better team with Toews and a 6.5m goalie than we would with price and a 6.5m center.
Or he's a professional athlete and wants to play hockey. The players don't want to lose.Real leadership? It's an assinine decision.
Since it is Price who asked to play, the only two reasons I can see why is either he's misguided or wants to show he's still got it because he wants to be traded.
Or he's a professional athlete and wants to play hockey. The players don't want to lose.
Pretty much.Or he's a professional athlete and wants to play hockey. The players don't want to lose.
I agree. I wish we'd just forfeit the rest of our games at this point.Pretty much.
But we shouldn't be playing him. Zero upside. Games are meaningless and he's coming of a concussion. Doesn't make sense to play him now as far as I'm concerned.
