Emelin.. cause he was the one who "tripped" him.

 

[MathMan]

According to the game sheet:

Briere, Weise, Prust, Markov, Emelin, Price for the Habs
Kreider, Stepan, Nash, Klein, Staal and Lundqvist for the Rangers.

(Looks like a pretty bad matchup for Montreal actually.)

Thank you MathMan

Kreider has no history of running goalies. Emelin tripped him. Going skates first was a reflex.

That's the way I interpreted the game film too. The blade of stick made contact with the blades of the skates, clear as day on that film. Tough to argue around that fact.

Presumably that will happen less with good mobility in the lineup and Emelin on his better side.

Who cares? Get over it!!!!

Basically cost us the first habs sc final since 1993. I'm ok with some people having a hard time swallowing the pill.

Well, I do for one, the Habs don't need any Todd Bertuzzi action, that's not how the Habs get payback. Payback comes in the form of wins vs the NYR's, in every way possible at least that's how I envision our team dealing with this injury. Not including headhunting!

Craig Anderson and Marc-André Fleury disagree.

Surprised Bouillon wasn't there.

Sure, it's not like he injured three goaltenders this year. Thats Torres level of injure distribution.

So much missed sarcasm in this thread

Losing Price is absolutely not the reason why we lost that series, come on.

Certainly not the sole reason. But it has to be a contributing factor.

You don't know that, and can't predict that the Habs would have won with Price because it didn't happen. Tokarski played really really well, perhaps even better than Price would have. There is no way to tell the outcome of what didn't happen. If a more positive outcome could have happened, a more negative outcome could also have happened.

Probably Patrice Brisebois.

Definitely didn't help though, but I agree.

As a goalie, Tokarski played really well. Price changes the whole dynamic of the team though. He's the best puckhandler in the league and he's just a safer bet for his teammates. It was absolutely a defining factor in losing this series.

Intentional or not, penalty or bot, I would (like many others) have pummeled the guy for running into my superstar goalie.

Not "the only" reason, but one of the major reasons.

People who claim this show their ignorance... The Habs transition game is built around Price. Tokarski was so bad with the puck he wouldn't even leave his net.

Oh? Wonder why Brandon Prust, who was on the ice at the time, didn't do that. I mean, he's not exactly shy about dropping the mitts.
