When the team struggled in third period against TOR ? against OTT ? The game MTL lost to VAN ? In all those games he has been below average. Yesterday two to three goals should have been stopped by an elite goalie. He was very good again during the last playoffs but he was not worth 10.5m. Does he wait for the playoffs to play ?
I agree with this. The first 2 goals were the kind of goals that 'goalies would like to see again' as they said. You expect much better from Price. Now it's one thing to have an off night once in a while, but he's had mostly off nights so far since the beginning of the season.
That being said, the whole game was just painful to watch. Kudos to Ottawa for coming out with the 2 points, but I was not impress with them either. Compared to all the other games I've watched since the start of the season, yesterday was the first one I was wondering whether it was the ECHL teams playing. The puck looked like a hot potato that was bouncing around, and could not find their sticks. The whole game looked very bad for both sides, but Ottawa managed those 2 goals late in the first period and ran away with the win.
I don't know if it was just one of those nights, but I don't think it is fair to blame only Price (or Suzuki). Except for the Danault/Gallagher/Tatar line, everyone else could be pointed at.
