True. And Carey Price was overjoyed when interviewed after yesterday's game. He credited playing behind the world's best defencemen for making him look good. When i heard this, i wondered if he wasn't taking a shot at his NHL team. It's no secret around the league that the Habs have one of the worst defensive unit in the entire NHL. It's actually not that surprising that the team's best defenceman is spending most of his Olympics in the stands watching both the men & women's teams play at the Olympics. I had been telling everyone for the past month that he was the last defenceman picked for Team Canada and that he wasn't going to play much. None of the habs fans were buying what i was telling them. Yzerman & Babcock didn't really want him in the first place. The last thing they wanted was an overrated right-handed defenceman with a swelled ego who can't play a lick of defence, when defence is crucial in order to win on the larger ice surface.
Price was okay. I mean, i think Gump Worseley would have been able to play as good as Price (or Luongo) did considering the atrocious low amount of shots shot at him. And Worseley is dead. Glenn Healey might have let in one or two goals yesterday. And he hasn't played in 15 years. I was worried about the team's goaltending, but no longer. Any goalie they put in there will look good considering how magnificient the team's defensive system has been so far. and i certainly doubt Babcock will tinker with his magnificient defensive unit by switching one of his regulars with P.K. Subban. But to be fair, Subban would probably be the best defenseman on some of the better teams out there...such as Russia and Finland.
