Price is deserving the repect you give him. He has been the best Montreal Canadien for years.
But I do hear the guys when they say having the best goalie in the world on a team like this is turning out to be a waste of great talent.
When someone says this team would have been better off with Kopitar than Price dont take it as a personal insult. Or a rip on Carey. It is more a slight on the Canadiens and their glaring, never ending, pathetic lack of elite talent at center. Also a compliment to Kopitar. Who is also worthy of the repsect he is being shown.
Price is the best goalie the Canadiens have had since Roy. Kopitar might have been the best center they have had since Beliveau .
They way things have turned out I can see why the urge to play "what if" is rearing its sometimes ugly head.
Honestly, if you gave me the choice between the following:
1.) Kopitar + a randomly chosen goaltender who played more than 40 games last season
2.) What we have now
I'd chose option 1 every time. This year it would have payed off like bitcoin.
