I know. We are a good team with or without Price.Season over.

Good teams rally together when injuries happen. Therrien knows this and knows how to deal with this (Koivu cancer season). The players have a lot of heart and character. Tokarski is not a bad goalie and can handle the workload.
Even if Price was injured for a while I'd not be worried at all. But he's probably not.
Hell, even in this mini slump of ours.. I'd almost be happy if Price missed 9-10 games. At least it would provide some ammunition toward settling the debate that Price is the sole reason for our success.
Thank God it's only day-to-day... we're not too many points away from the playoff bubble.
Depending how long he's out for, we may be blessed enough that MB will do this to Therrien:
You're dreaming in colors if you think MT could get fired. The team is 14 games above .500, in a playoff spot, having a good season. It would have to take a lot for MT to get canned(not trying to jinx the team or anything ).
Michel Bergeron in 89 was fired with two games left before the playoff... With the Rangers making it! Rumours has it Phil Esposito wanted to coach the team in the playoff. That did not end well for the Rangers.Whens the last time a coach from any team in the NHL got fired with a winning record ? Was it Claude Julien with the Devils ?
^^^ Randy Carlyle, Trotz, Torterella, Bylsma, Vigneault etc......
Happens all the time actually.

Interesting fact: Price has finished the season with a injury for the past 3 seasons.
2011-12- He had a concussion and missed the final few games.
2012-13- He was injured in the playoffs.
2013-14- Injured in the playoffs.
Who will be the Habs representative if Price can't go to the ASG? Pacioretty or Subban?
...like I said, if Price is out that long, you're in for a rude awakening...
Yeah, I agree. Tokarski = Price.
