FIRST STAR – CAREY PRICE, G, MONTREAL CANADIENS

Price led all goaltenders with three wins in three starts, posting a 1.00 goals-against average, .971 save percentage and one shutout to help the Canadiens (32-21-6, 70 points) move into third place in the Atlantic Division. He began the week by stopping all 27 shots he faced in recording his fourth shutout of the season and the 23rd of his NHL career in a 2-0 victory over the Calgary Flames Feb. 4. Price then made 42 saves, his second-highest total of the season, in a 5-2 triumph over the Vancouver Canucks Feb. 6 and 31 saves in a 4-1 win over the Carolina Hurricanes Feb. 8. The 26-year-old native of Anahim Lake, B.C., who will represent Canada in the 2014 Olympic Winter Games, is 26-17-5 with a 2.33 goals-against average and .925 save percentage in 48 appearances this season.

Should've been Bernier and Bernier at the Olympics

/Leafs fan.

 

[TRG]

The Price is right baby.

 

[Habsawce]

Nice to go into the games on a roll so Luongo can start on reputation and choke in the quarters!

Much easier to take the #1 spot than to keep it from the beginning to end of the tournament.

Is that preposterous or something? I haven't seen him play much this year but his numbers are excellent.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Booya!

I hope he has a good Olympics.

 

[Habs 4 Life]

It took a while but Price this season as been lights out. I don't care about the past but if he plays this way down the road we have a great shot at building something serious in the near future (2-3 years). All depends which way management goes with this group of younger players ( Price, Subban, Pacioretty, Beaulieu, Galchenyuk, Gallagher, Tinordi) If Bergevin and his scouts are aggreissve I think we could be a solid franchise and compete for a long time

 

[Le Tricolore]

All he does is win.

"Sources within Hockey Canada tell me that Jonathan Bernier was 'very close' to securing a roster spot at the Olympics, possibly even at the expense of Carey Price. It is not believed the Leafs are shopping Bernier, but one league source tells me a trade involving Bernier would return a 1st round pick, a roster player, and a top prospect."

Pretty easy, honestly.

Please tell me whatever you just wrote is not an exact quote.

Did the Globe & Mail and the Star mention it?

Hard to tell, isn't it?

 

[Gustave]

Hard to tell, isn't it?

I'm in limbo. Between this, Chris Kunitz parked on the first line for TC, Rick Nash playing over MSL and Duchene, John Tavares manning the 4th line and Price - Pk being on the bubble for playing time, I'm losing my ****.

A reason why you're one of my favourites.

There go your dreams.

Oh and those are all Timmins picks.

So far he hasn't impress me, but I will give him a chance cause he said when I feel we're ready i'll make the moves. We'll see if he has the balls to make a few moves and it starts in 3 weeks and see if he moves veterans like Gionta, Murray or even Markov

How's life up there in orbit?

 

[CrAzYNiNe]

Where are all those Halak lovers?

 

[Frankenheimer]

*gingerly puts hand up*

There's no question Price has been the better regular season performer since the trade, so Gauthier made a smart move. Hopefully it will pan out in the playoffs as well.

Well, the guy hasn't even been a starting goalie for an entire year yet. Definitely no where near enough to anoint a guy as an Olympic goaltender. Especially since we've seen this from Leafs goalies before and then they fade into oblivion.
