What I've liked about Price is how he combines great size with a very solid technique (which bodes well for consistency and making the game easy for him) and athleticism (for when he needs to make the big save). As a goalie, I've always had a "stay up, stay square, and challenge the shooter" mantra, and so far Price has done just that and it's made life really easy for him right now. It seems simple enough, but even in the NHL you'll see goalies getting in trouble if they're going down too early, or cheating a bit (instead of facing the shooter head on), or being shy and playing too deep in their crease. Obviously having Canada's D helps him a lot too, but he's making some very difficult stops look very routine, just by keeping things simple, which is why he's only been scored on a screen shot, a fluke rebound off the end boards, an empty net (after he was bowled over), and a 5-on-3 cross crease pass that deflected off his D. Again, Canada's D is making things easy--usually letting him see the puck, clearing the rebounds, and limiting odd man rushes--but even ignoring his sparkling saves, he's making a lot of easy saves just by staying up, staying square, challenging the shooter, and staying with the shooter, where A LOT of other goalies, especially at the junior level (even if they are world class), would be flopping around to make great saves or allowing goals that they "had no chance on."
