Exactly. Reality eventually sets in. Don't be mislead. Hot hockey doesn't mean perenial winner.

No, I was busy praising them for being lucky. Did you?


Somehow, I think you got my point. And didn't like it.

It was 2-1 when he was injured. Last 2 goals he barely moved.

Kreider scored on a breakaway, and did you see the pass Zuccarello made to Richards? It was lack of mobility, it was Price leaning because he thought Zuccarello kicked into another gear to blow by the Dman and wrap around the other side. Instead, Zucc made a brilliant spin around pass to Richards for the open side.

My point was, Tokarsky is playing brilliantly and Price when he was in, didn't exactly blank the Rangers. So the fact that Price is out is really not the reason why the Habs are losing this series.

IMHO, the reason the Rangers are winning because they are the better team. And they are the better team because starting in the front, skill for skill the Rangers and the Habs are pretty even up front, the Rangers have slightly higher end scorers at the top. But the depth is where it really changes. The 3rd line of Brassard Pouliot and Zuccarello, this is where the parity shifts that Rangers get better. Then you go back even further to the defense. With the exception of PK Subban, there isn't another Habs Dman that can compare with the Rangers D corp. And then I wont even mention Lundqvist.

Wtf you laughing at? You think Price can't score? Silly troll, thinking they can solve Lundqvist without Price in net.

No, just junk to junk.

Therrien is the worst coach in the league, and the Habs won't win a thing until he's gone.

maybe a few guys like Gionta etc but the core of the team is strong going forward. They have done as best as Habs fans could have hoped for.

Montreal is going to win at least one cup in the next five years. They are very young and still have great prospects coming.

No other team has potential, so I agree. Might win 4 in that time.

He actually has done a better job in the playoffs than he did during the season. That's not saying much, but he has potential to be smart at times, he just doesn't always use it.

Based on what? The 4 he gave up to NY before leaving the game 1? Keep your homer opinions to yourself when there's factual numbers there. Price was having trouble reading the speed of the Rangers from the drop of the puck. Maybe he recovers maybe he doesn't, but Tokarsky HAS given your team a chance to win every night, they just couldn't get the job done well enough.
