He's nauseating. Can't stand him.
- hscesq


Personally, I've been around him when he's not over the top or calculating something crazy to say. I think he's just an amazing coach, really. He can get guys to do what they wouldn't motivate themselves to do. But his style is suited for a well conditioned team and a team willing to do the dirty work and stand up for each other. They're missing the components that enabled that to work so well last year. and it's a big concern for them.

I know we've seen Price on this level before--and by this level, I mean on top of the league.

I'm sure you mean in terms of Wins right?
Because otherwise he's 7th (GAA) and 12th (SV%)

1.97 GAA and 916 save% is still pretty darn good...

I'll be fine with Pacioretty getting suspended when they start penalizing players for turning away from oncoming checkers. Markov is guilty of this as well, so I'm not being biased. But this idea that presenting your numbers should stop someone from hitting you is absolutely ludicrous.

Be a man. Take the hit.

i'm not talking about numbers. I could care less. I'm talking about him being unflappable. His mental game is sharper than just about anyone's. If you could legitimately name two better goaltenders in the world than him, well, you have a right to your opinion. I'll trust that of the scouts, gms, coaches, analysts and my own. I don't think there are two better goalies in the league.

They got Nash, now he's not playing, and all the grit is gone. And Richards looks....slow.

Richards likely will be amnestied.

every player is responsible for their own conduct. mcdonagh and gallagher have to know they're putting themselves at risk on those plays. but I think schenn and pacioretty had time to readjust or at least cushion the blows. I wouldn't have a problem with that kind of hit becoming a more regular suspension.

Anderson before his injury was lights out. Tuukka Rask ( ) is playing extremely well too. So is Price.

Anderson and Fasth are on fire but if I had to pick a goalie for my team I would go with Price right now for sure...

In addition to the 2014 Winter Classic, a makeup date between the Detroit Red Wings and Toronto Maple Leafs at Ann Arbour’s Michigan Stadium, the site says the league is trying to schedule an open-air contest at New York’s Yankee Stadium and possibly one at Los Angeles’ Dodgers Stadium as well.

I'm starting to think you'd put any goalie in Boston and he'd be good...they have a really solid D...not many scoring chances for their opponents.

Luongo, like it or not, before last night was also playing very good. Both CHI goalies, Halak, Fasth...

I think Rask is excellent. But he doesn't have the experience to be named in the same category at this stage. He's headed in that direction.

Tough to say anyone's been better than Anderson-- no one really has. But tough to compare Price and Anderson.
