Price is out again with an undisclosed lower body injury. The guy cannot stay healthy & every year as he ages it gets worse!!
On the other hand the Leafs just announced that star goalie Frederik Anderssen will miss a couple of games with a groin injury. This is the second time this season that he's missed a game or two due to this type of injury. On the bright side the Leafs are not paying him $10.5 million a year.
In the last 2 seasons, Carey Price has played in 79 of a possible 130 games. 51 games he has been out. Therefore his scratch % is nearly 40%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No it's not. Tony Marinaro spoke about this on his radio show the other day. Players are allowed to be absent in order to be with their spouses when they give birth. The two matters are entirely unrelated. As Marinaro pointed out it's simply a coincidence and Price would have missed playing time anyway while she gave birth.
But the lower body injury is quite worrisome since Price has had a history of serious knee injuries over the past few years. Every time it happened the team would first announce it wasn't serious and he'd only miss a few games. However as we know the injuries were quite more serious than orginally speculated and Price ended up missing months every time.
After his last serious knee injury (the one when he ended up missing half the season) i pointed out that such a serious knee injury usually means a player will have to undergo surgery. But Price elected to forego surgery and opted for a long layoff instead. I predicted he'd end up regretting that decision and that the knee problem(s) would likely return.
And that's why giving Carey Price an 8-year contract worth $84 million was quite a risk to take for GM Marc Bergevin.
Carey Price is the Habs’ answer to Jacoby Ellsbury of the Yankees. A talented but fragile player. At one time Ellsbury was hailed by no less an authority than Rumoleforeskin as the best center fielder in baseball, but that was after the only season of his major league career in which he managed to stay healthy. Price isn’t yet that old and it’s a very bad sign when a guy is scratched 40% of games his age 30 and 31 years. It’s only going up from here on in. Whether he achieves Ellsbury’s feat last year of spending the entire year on the DL (100% of games, due to a succession of new injuries sustained each time he rehabbed the prior disabling injury) remains to be seen.
The thing with Price's injury history is that most of the time it involved his knees. One other time it was a concussion. But he's earning his living as a goaltender and knees are the most important element of his job. Without healthy knees he won't be able to play as effectively since nearly every time a shot comes his way his knees will be used.
It reminds me of former Leafs goaltender Mike Palmateer, whose once-promising career ended prematurely due to bad knees. The Leafs reclaimed him years later and he was unable to practice due to his bad knees. Who knows how good Palmateer could have been without the knee problems?

Palmateer had 14 knee surgeries before his career ended at age 30, sadly. Since retirement he has had 6 more knee surgeries for 20 total, including a knee replacement for this now 64 year old man.
Durability is an important attribute for a hockey player, just as it is for a baseball player who must play a 162 game schedule plus playoffs.

Défaite crève-coeur 6-5....TB breaks tie with 62 sec. to play....les Habs auraient mérité un meilleur sort et récolter AU MOINS UN POINT....MAIS Niemi n'a pas fait le travail avec 6 buts sur 26 tirs. Il n'est pas la solution à Price qui devra revenir au jeu asap...sinon la saison risque de dérailler en 2ème partie du calendrier.
Dernier match de 2018 demain...Dallas.

Hum hum....me rappelait pu :tape:....mais j"étais pas le seul à douter......lollll......Bonne Année my friend.....
I don't want to piss on anyone's parade but allowing 47 shots to the Dallas Stars is nothing to get excited about! All it shows me is that the habs were extremely lucky to win that game & that their defence is absolutely awful and may even be the worse defence in the world of hockey!
Not a playoff team. Not a good team. Bad team. Very bad team.

Docky Docky aren't you a bit jealous?? Pretty good team I would say 
They will make the playoff. Barely but they will make it. If only they could have another fast and mobile defence player and if Mete can get himself back to past level.
Cheers,
