maybe price was never that great, aside from one magical season, and this is who he is.

looking at the numbers, his play has been trending this way the last few years. maybe they have to do what Q did in florida and just ride allen as the starter. sucks but it is what it is.

tho, riding allen as a starter comes with risk if past history is an indiccation

And it wasn't even a top 10 season for a goalie

aww com'on with the excuses. he also lost his dogs we know.

this happens every year for the past 3-4 years. normally in Oct or Nov. just after spending the summer home, with the family, fishing, horse back riding....
there was no covid 3-4 years ago.

If you've seen anything I've had to say about Price you'd know I dont give one (frank) about his excuses, I'm just trying to rationalize what I'm seeing.

that's exactly why it cannot be covid related, since this is not the first it happens. it is recurring.

The way I remember it, after Price was rammed by Krieder, that's when I remember everything going down hill, and he was never quite the same after that. I don't recall any major inconsistencies before that, maybe I'm wrong. That said he was decent in last years playoffs. Just curious where is this whole thing about his dogs anyway? I saw it posted hear one time, but could never find any trace of it online.

you are right. once he finds his game, he's good. but why does he lose it every year for a month???

let's hope it doesn't have anything to do with having a decent backup, kinda like his slumps during the Halak years. he should definitely be happy to have a solid #2 (lol) but now that the backup is playing wayyy better than him perhaps it's messing up his mojo. I dunno, it could be a poopload of things, but clearly it's between the ears and he's the only one who can fix it, no matter what the exact reason is

nope. not related to that either. since he had the same problem with Kinkaid and the other backup goalies the previous years

those slumps weren't as intense as this one though... his play is more concerning right now compared to his struggles while Kinkaid was backup
