I Like Price this year. A lot. But nobody in their right mind can say that Price is a playoff proven goalie. Whether it's his fault or not. This STILL needs to be determined. 14 freakin years after being drafted. How bad is that. And it's either one thing, another or a combination of both. Price's fault and/or GM's fault for not surrounding better. But that stat alone is just disgraceful. Wasting such a talent is mad.
Nobody is saying it. But saying we lost because of him in a series where our offence scored 11 goals in 6 games is ludicrous at the very best. I mean we scored 0, 4 (OT), 3, 1, 2 (OT) and 1 goals in the 6 games of this series. Price won both the games where we scored 4 and 3 goals as it should be.
He obviously lost the game we scored 0 goals. He lost both games where we scored 1 goals. Yes he could have pushed one of those games in OT but still anyone who watched those games know we were not scoring a 2nd goals unless it was a double or triple OT goal. He basically had to SO NYR to win any of those two games imo.
He pushed the game we scored 2 goals in OT and gave a goal after 14 minutes of OT. He could have made a difference in that game by pushing the game in double OT. But imo that's the only game he could have made a difference. All the other losses are on the offence.
