5G: Lets clarify that when the world started using 5G, Price was one of the first users who took advantage of

the new system ...big time...by giving up 5 GOALS per game.
Why? I’ve tried the lottery simulator many times & whoever is in last place only wins the lottery 2 out of 5 times. And considering that the last place team only has a 16% chance of picking first finishing last isn’t the big prize it once was & in reality is extremely embarrassing!Ça ne sera pas facile Gaby mais de mon côté je ne suis pas déçu si le Ch ne remporte pas bcp de points d'ici la fin de la saison.
No one remembers who finished second-last but everyone remembers who was in last place.
The thing about Price isn’t just his massive contract that will still have four years left to go after this season. It’s the fact he’ll be in his mid 30’s next season. It’s the fact he has a permanently damaged body. It’s the fact he has long had issues with substance abuse (i’ve known about them for many years). It’s the fact he’s been among the worst goaltenders in the league over the past 4-5 years. It’s the fact he has no durability & can barely be counted on to play more than fifty games a season now. But more importantly: he would much prefer playing elsewhere than in Montreal. His heart is elsewhere & he’s likely lost his drive to be the best. He seems unhappy.
Sure he can still be counted on to be a key component in the playoffs. But i’m afraid that this team will very likely miss the playoffs next season & likely the season after & let’s face it: he’ll likely be playing his final years if he’s still in the league.
We made the playoffs few years back and even won few cups when NO ONE was expecting...but we had a goalie, what was his name ???
With 5G, we missed few playoffs or exited the first round very quickly although we had some good teams, even finished first in the conference at one point but knocked out in the first round because of. poor goaltending.
5G if he shows up, you have to play him, can't have a 10M backup watching a rookie at 1M and learn from him.
Also he has to just show up so he can collect the10M ...
44 shots allowed again tonight in a 4-0 beating by Carolina. Incredible! No wonder 5G doesn’t want to come back!
I was listening to one of the habs talk shows the other day & someone mentioned that St-Louis is currently running a country club atmosphere which players love but that he’ll likely get more serious next season or he risks losing the team. The fans haven’t been critical of him yet since this season was already lost months ago but fans & the tough local media will not tolerate another losing season like this current one.
Which is more likely to happen for the next 2 seasons, at least, maybe more.
Totally agree...on est en pleine reconstruction avec des ''espoirs''...et un espoir a besoin d'au moins 3ans avant de se développer et d'éclore ....alors on va oublier l'an prochain...c'est un long processus et encore faut-il avoir le bon matériel sous la main ...
n'est-ce pas M. Hughes ???

Unless a team gets very lucky a true & successful rebuild usually takes 5 years. But for the process to begin they must figure out a way to get rid of Carey Price and his big fat contract. It likely won’t be this hard to get him to agree to waive his non-movement clause since i doubt he’ll want to stick around for a rebuild. The hardest part will be to find a dance partner. Not many teams out there have the cap space to accomodate such a big contract….especially a goatender’s….and it’ll have to be with a city he doesn’t mind moving to. And the habs can’t get greedy.
But as i said i’m not sure the fans will want to keep on paying top prices for a team that keeps on losing hockey games. I’m aleady hearing that many long time season ticket holders won’t be renewing their tickets. And Geoff Molson absolutely needs & wants the arena to be sold out in order to make money and continue making the team profitable.
The team also needs to hit a bullseye at the upcoming draft where they have many picks. They can’t strike out like they’ve been doing over the past decade.
But he's the only one to blame for keeping Bergevin +8 years. For sure some fans will jump boat, but if he puts up a winning team that can become a real contenders, new fans will come and the arena will be sold out again..
Quel divertissement .....victoire impressionnante de 5-4 en tir de barrage....quand même ....beau cadeau à leur coach....bien mérité.....gros merci again à ALLEN et SUZUKI pour la victoire....termine bien ce voyage....bien aimé ce que j'ai vu de HARRIS....

That was a huge win in Tampa but let's not forget that it was done against Tampa's backup goalie. But still a huge win which has got the habs out of the basement. The race for last is between them, Arizona & Seattle. But New Jersey, Philly & Ottawa are also in contention for the embarassing honor of finishing last in a 32-team league.
Carey Price may be back this week. He's practicing with the team & supposedly has looked very comfortable. No doubt a return this season may help to move him during the off-season if that's what he wants to do. Teams wouldn't dare take a chance on him if he doesn't play this season but if he plays a few games & looks good....who knows. Of course the team would have to pay at least half of his big contract in order to move him but they may figure it's worth it.
Bon rebondissement ...match échevelé BUT who cares .....7 buts on a pas vu ça souvent.....et ça se prend bien.....ALLEN encore bombardé mais tient le fort...
BTW les DEVILS pas un exemple à suivre après 10 ans de reconstruction ...toujours pas de gardien ni de défenseurs.....faut prendre des notes...lol.

Oui moi aussi et sans doute comme de nombreux autres amateurs ....au point ou nous en étions y a pas si longtemps nous n'avions même plus d'intérêt à les regarder....MAIS avec l'arrivée de MARTY ....wow....une équipe transformée, compétitive et MAINTENANT
le fun à voir....dans les circonstances c'est déjà beaucoup...
