I am sick to death of all the Carey Price bashing!!
He didn’t have a bad game that he needs to ‘bounce back’ from. Writing that he gave up three of his worse goals of the season?? That is ridiculous Red Fisher. You need to get your glasses adjusted. Chara’s goal deflected off the stick of Smolinski. Sturm made a great shot for his goal but what was he doing all alone shorthanded anyway? Sobotka’s goal was the only one that could be considered soft even though it deflected off Markov’s stick. But by that team the whole team had given up…including the coach!
What about the rest of the game? Price made a great save on Murray. He also made an incredible save on Krejci. And Carey Price has certainly bailed his teammates out on dozens of occasions when they make mistakes (several per game for Brisebois alone!)
As far as the second goal, Price saw an opportunity..nothing but open ice in front of Lapierre. If Lapierre doesn’t fumble the pass and goes down and scores, we may be talking about what a great leadership play Price made to start the rush. If they are at least equally responsible for the mistake why are there no headlines about Lapierre having to atone for his dreadful mistake???
I’m also very disappointed by Lapierre. He let his goalie get hung out to dry on this issue. If it was Kostopoulos (or other ‘team-first’ guys) in his place, firstly TK wouldn’t have allowed Nokelainen to steal the puck from him. But secondly, Kostopoulos would have taken full responsibility for the ‘mistake’ to take the spotlight off his goaltender.
It’s time for some perspective. Fans and media should remember that the primary reason that the Canadiens have won 3 games so far is: Carey Price.
