    agreed. i don't think the series would have turned out much different if price were in net.

    With Price in net the series could have been different, Price has the ability to steal a game or 2, Tokarski gave Montreal a chance. I'll take a goalie who can steal games over goalies who give you a chance anytime. With that said and under the circumstance's Dustin played well ... But injuries are part of the game.
    Good points but I think the lack of energy and finish in our skaters might have outdone even Price's abilities.

    and lets not forget how awful price was in game 1 before injury. rygar, you keep mentioning how streaky he is. who knows... his game 1 could have been a sign of what was to come.

    A valid point, but look at Lunkhead game 5 to 6...same idea. Price was a lot more consistent in these playoffs than in previous years I'm happy to say. A bad 2 periods in the 3rd round and a bad game in the second.

    agreed ... only 1 player showed up last night. I still maintain the loss of Weiss was huge, he was having a monster playoff and was easily one of Montreal top 6 forwards.

    It was 2-1 when he was injured ... he gave up 2 late 2nd period goals after the injury, so he was hardly awful. Tokarski gave Montreal a chance to win, Price has the ability to steal games. Big big difference in my opinion.

    Yeah he was impressive, lots of energy and heart to that guy. I still have lots of faith in Markov. Most players start to look shitty when they're getting doubled up.

    This is a good point. I overlook that injury to goal ratio too.

    Yes Carey Price was streaky ... lets not forget this is his 7 th NHL season and he's only 26 ... he was not given the luxury to learn the game in the minors for 3 or 4 years. Carey Price is the real deal ... there is not a goalie in the world I'd take over Price. Price has won world Junior gold and olympic gold and will eventually win a stanley cup.

    I have liked Price for a while but that streakiness has been a bit of an expectation. This year was notably better for him and really it was great to see. Hoping for more of the same 2014-2015.

    It's just a beautiful thing when we spank the Bruins :)

    The only thing sweeter than beating Vancouver is beating Boston. However, as I don't know any Boston fans making all my BC canucks fans cry works for me :)
