Player Discussion Carey Price - Covid Playoff Edition

[PaulD]

The Price haters get as quiet as a straight man accidentally walking into a gay bar when he throws together a few games. It’s been this way for years.

LOL Yea, like the Canadiens problem is Carey Price.
And did you know the Oilers might not make the play offs because McDavid went 3 games without a point. Connor needs to look in the mirror. ha!

Thats how bad Bergevins squads are................his apologists reach for anything. They gotta blame anything but the weak bottom feeder he has built.

MB has made his share of errors, primarily the continuation of post-1973 piss poor amateur drafting, (wait & see about last couple of years), which put him in a position to make trades to compensate.

That strategy is not sustainable, even if he’s been very successful at making trades - trades and UFA should be tools to supplement a roster not build it.

MB should have been fired long ago. Period.

We shouldn't have paid him 10.5 and then surrounded him with AHL level D. You're right... it made no sense to do this! It's a stupid way to run a team.

As for other goalies being able to win with this squad, that hasn't been the case. We had one backup get hot in 2017 and the following year got smoked. And over the past couple of years Price had to play an insane amount of hockey because our backups were getting killed behind our D. That's why we ponied up the 4m for Jake Allen.

Instead of doing that we should've just got a decent LD. But we don't want to do that for some reason. We want to make it as hard on our goalies as we can. And it makes no f***ing sense at all.

Of course its senseless. It will remain senseless as long as Molson has the Ben Scrivens of GMs calling the shots.
