Montreal Canadiens: Is Carey Price the Real Deal?

good article, and at this point after 2 coaches and have been fIred and the habs have won nothing, AND WE HAVE PICS OF HIM BOOZING AND SMOKING IT UP...

Sounds more like you're the one smoking some killer stuff. I can think of several other players that were drafted that amounted to nothing. At least Price is playing in the NHL.

not for long

and what, have you even seen this piece of crap play?

seriously man, my Grandmother is a better goalie...BY FAR...AND SHE'S DEAD !!!

Who would you rather have, Carey Price or me, Rick DiPietro ?

Who cares if hes boozing or smoking it up. Probably read one of your dumb bullshit half witted comments about him and Bob Gainey.
You need to shut it and start volunteering at a hospital or humane society. Just let it go.
2 coaches that wouldnt do what management wanted. So they got fired. Big deal...who cares...it happens every day in the real world..just not on the x-box fantasy pool you play every night.
And by the way hes the BIGGEST draft choice by Montreal in years.. See what you get when your not picking 12 or 16th place every year.
Not sure what language you speak but what does MIGGEST mean..

Sparto I'm glad that you have not lost your pathetic flare.

Im not your buddy..... dumb dumb

ACTUALLY IF YOU THOUGHT..... "BUDDY" WAS ME DOING ANYTHING SIGNIFICANT AT ALL LTHER THAN POINTING OUT THE FACT THAT EVEN IF YOU HAD A NAME I STILL WOULDNLT USE IT, YOU'RE AS INSANE AS i ALREADY KNOW YOU ARE...YOU SAID"CAREY PRICE" WAS A "GOOD GOLAIE" AND I AGREE...HE WAS...IN JR.....AND THEN HE BECAME THE SINGLE BIGGEST OVERRATED UNDEPERFOMRING GOALIE IN THE HISTORY OF THE NATIONAL HOCKEY LEAGUE, RED LIGHT RACICOT WAS 40 BILLION TIMES BETTER AND ANYONE THAT SAW RACICOT KNOWS THAT TIS MEANS PRICE SHOULD HAVE BEEN TRADED OR IMMEDIATLY DUMPED LAST YEAR...
NO...THE WORD..."BUDDY" I RESERVE FOR PEOPLE WHO DONLT DESERVE ANY RESPECT, THOSE HABS FANS WHO ARE DETRIMENTAL TO TH DVANCMENT OF THE TEAM THORUGHT NOTHING OTHER THAN OWN COMPLETE AND UTTER STUPIDITY...
AGAIN, HOW ANYONE COULD HAVE SEEN PRICE PLAY THE LAST 2 YEARS AND STILL SUPPORT HIM , BUT IT BOGGLES THE FUVKING MIND AND IS DIRECTLY RESPONISBLE FOR THE STAGNATION OVER THE PAST 16 YEARS OF THIS TEAM...AND...MOST IMPORTANTLY...BOB GAINEY...WHO WAS ONCE A VERY FINE DEFENSE MINDED PLAYER HIMSELF, HAS BEEN NOTHING LESS THANA COMPLETE FUCK UP EVEN IN HIS QUISIONS THIS YEAR BECAUSE ONCE AGIN, HE HAS FAVORED PRICE, WHO IS NOW THEW WEAKEST LINK ON THIS TEAM, WITH A ONE DIMENSIONAL OFFENSE LACKING THE SINGL MOST IMPRTANT THING IN COMPETETING IN THE PLAYOFFS FOR A STANLEY CUP...A CENTERMAN OR 2 CENTERMEN WHO ARE BIG IN SIZE AND SCORE REGULARLY WITHOUT ANY LACK IN CONSISTENCY, WHO WANT TO SCORE, AND WHO DO, GAME IN GAME OUT.
IN OVER 12 YEARS SAKKU KOIVU THE CAPTAIN OF THIS TEAM HASD JUST OVER 70 TTL GOALS
PERHAPS THE SINGLE MOST USELESS PERFORMANCE OVER A CAREER BY ANY PLAYER EVER DESIGNATED "THE FRANCHISE" IN THE HISTORY OF THE NHL.
FOR 12 + YEARS THIS TEAM'S MGMT AND THE FROGS OF QUEBEC INSISTED THIS GUY STAY AS CAPTAIN...AND IN EXCHANGE FOR COMPLYING
IN 16 YEARS GOING ON 17 NOW, THE MTL CANDADIESN HAVE BEEN NOTHING LESS THAN THE LAUGHING STOCK OF THE NHL.
THE FANS IN THIS CITY WERE SINGING "AWAY AWAY AWAY AWAY" IN PLAYOFF GAMES WHEN WE WERE LEADING BY A GOAL IN THE FIRST PERIOD.
THE SINGLE STUPIDEST THING ANY FANS OF ANY TEAM CAN EVER DO.
YOU HAVE TO LIVE HERE TO KNOW IT BUT MOST FRENCH MONTREAL CANADIENS DON;T HAV A FUCKING CLUE WHAT THE FUCK THEY AE TALKING ABOUT ALONG WQITH ANYONE ELSE WHO COULD, AFTER THE PAST 2 YEARS, EVEN SUGGEST THAT ORICE IS ANYTHNG LESS THAN A HUGE PIECE OF FUCKING GARBAGE WHO SHOULD BE IMMEDIATELY DUMPED...
AND IN RETROSPECT GAINEY'S STAEMENT THAT THIS IS A "THOUROBRED" IS PERHAPS TH SINGLE MOST MISPLACED STATEMENT BY ANY GM IN HOCKEY HISTORY...BECAUSE QUITE FRANKLY...
NO...PRICE IS NOT...HE IS N OW A JR. B GOALIE AT BEST !!!
P.S. AND IT DOES FUCKING MATTER IF YOUR STAR FRANCHISE PLAYER IS LOSING ALL THROUGH THE MOST IMPORTANT STRETCH OF THE YEAR 2 YEARS INA ROW, AND IN EACH CA EPICTURES SURFACE OF THIS GUY SMOKING SOPE AND DRINKING BEER IN BETWEEN GAMES
GIVE ME A FUCKING BREAK
IT MATTERS MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE AND GOES DIRECTLY TO THE CANCER THAT HE IS TO THIS TEAM.
THEY HAD 2 TYPES...KOIVU AND PRICE, GAINEY GOT RID OF HALF OF THE CANCER, AND IF HE DOESN'T GET RID OF THE REST REAL SOON, WAKE THE FUCK UP AND AQUIRE SOME SIZE UP THE MIDDLE, HE AND PRICE WILL BE GONE OR SHOLD BE BY X-MAS !!!
WAKE THE FUCK UP AND GO WATCH THE TAPES OF PRICE PLAYING...THIS GUY, HAS ZERO FUCKING PLACE BEING ON THIS TEAM...HE'S FUCKING USELESS !!!
PERIOD !!!
AND IN HAVNG FAITH IN PRICE BEFORE MAKING THINGSA RIGHT IN GOLA FOR THIS TEAM IS A HUGE ACT OF A XDELLUSIONAL MAN WHO HAS NOT GOTTEN OVER THE DEATH OF HIS DAUGHTER AND ALLOWED TO EFFECT HIS MIND AND BETER JUDGEMENT !!!
5 FUCKING YEARS ALL HE HAD TO DO WAS GET 2 CENTERMAN WITH SIZE AND THIS WAS HIS MANDATE, INSTEAD HE'S AQUIRED A PLETHORA OF ROLE PLAYERS THAT WILL NOT LEAD TO A CUP WIN, AND COMPLETE IGNORED THE FUCKING OBVIOUS STARTING POINT FOR THS TEAM.
IT'S POURUS OVERBLOWN, OVERRATED GOALTENDER SITUATION !!!

Spato your still a joke......How can you expect anyone to take you serious? Get a life...

We are all fans so up and down with our emotions. Playing goalie is the hardiest task at this game.
He is still young. The problem is he has no good 35 years old backup buddy behind him

VERY WELL SAID

BUT I BASE WHAT I SAY ON FACT AND ON CAREYS PERFORMANCE AND IN THE PAST 2 PLAYOFF YEARS IT WAS HE AND NONE ELSE OTHER THAN BOB GAINEY WHO INSISTED HE BE THE GUY, AND IN DOING SO IT HAS NOW COST US TWO MORE YEARS AND TWO MORE PLAYOFF RUNS THAT SHOULD GONE A HECK OF A LOT LONGER THAN 4-8 GAMES AND EARLY EXISTS FROM BOTH.

AND AGINA FOR THE MENATLLY CHALLENGED WHEN THIS ALL BEGAM HUET WAS THE GOLAIE AND THEODORE WAS THE BACK UP

AND IN THIS PAST YEARS PLAYOFFS BOTH OF THESE GUYS MADE BOB GIANEY LOOK LIKE A COMPLETE AND UTTER JACK-ASS, AND IN THE CASE OF THEODORE HIS ALMOST SAVING WASHINGTONS RUN WITH ONE OF THE MOST INCREDIBLE PEFROMANCES EVER TURNED IN, IN ANY PLAYOFF GAME IN HISTORY, IN GAME 6 OF THAT SERIES, MAKES ALL OF YOU WHO CAME IN HERE AND EVEN REMOTELY DISAGREED WITH ME LOOK LIKE COMPLETE AND UTTER BRAIN DEAD IDIOTS.

GAINEY DUMPED BOTH HUET AND THODORE TO FAvor price

had he not done that we may have already had another cup!!!

BOB GAINEY IS DELUSSIONAL AND CAREY PRICE IS A JR. B GOALIE AT BEST

AND NOTHING GAINEY HAS DONE IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM OTHER THAN DUMPING KOIVU IS GOING TO HELP THIS PATHETIC EXCUSE FOR A HOCKEY TEAM IN THE PLAYOFFS UNTIL THEY ACQUIRE SIZE AND SCORING ABILITY UP THE MIDDLE OF THE ICE AND ACROSS AT LEAST 3 OF THEIR 4 LINES!!!

YOU JUST HAVE TI A BE A COMPKLETE FUCKING IDIOT NOT TO SEE THIS AFTER ALL THAT HAS HAPPENED

AND JUST KEEP TALKING AND I'LL KEEP REMINDING YOU OF CAREY PRICE ON HIS KNESS FLOPPING HIS CATCHING GLOVE TO TRY TO STOP A PUCK HE SHOULD HAVE STOPPED AND CAUGHT STADING UP !!!

GO LOOK AT THE FUCKING TAPES YOU FCUKING BRAIN DEAD ISIOTS !!!

WE'RE NOT TALKING ABIOUT BACK-UPS W'ERE TALKING ABOUT PRICE'S DISGUSTINGLY SUB PAR ON ICE PERFROMANCE {OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN - HOW MUCH LOSING IS ENOUGH LOSING?}AND HIS SHODDY OFF-ICE COMMITTMENT TO THIS GAME !!!

Sparky,
You claim: "THEODORE HIS ALMOST SAVING WASHINGTONS RUN WITH ONE OF THE MOST INCREDIBLE PEFROMANCES EVER TURNED IN, IN ANY PLAYOFF GAME IN HISTORY, IN GAME 6 OF THAT SERIES, MAKES ALL OF YOU WHO CAME IN HERE AND EVEN REMOTELY DISAGREED WITH ME LOOK LIKE COMPLETE AND UTTER BRAIN DEAD IDIOTS."

You might want to retract that comment. Theodore played in two games during the 2008-09 playoffs surrending six goals on 33 shots, posting a 0-1 record. Theodore is a habsbeen.

http://capitals.nhl.com/team/app...

Huet appeared in three playoff games for CHI, with a 1-2 record after giving up seven goals on 78 shots against. Hardly 'world-beater' stats.

http://blackhawks.nhl.com/team/app...

Spartacus, look, I am not advocating Price-kid, but your comment on Theodore and Huet is somewhat strange - they both fu***up this playoffs. And by the way it's hard to estimate GM's actions specially on goalies - we are all trapped by results. Can you imagine all comments on habs GM's in 1971 (goalie Dryden) and 1986 (Roy) in case those to kids (that time with close to nothing games played) played so-so?

Wow , this guy really hates everything. I hate to tell you , but if you're basing all your hate on his playoff performance, then you really have no idea. He came into the NHL young and carried the load of playing in montreal into the playoffs(seated in first place) and yes , he did choke in the playoffs. Last year , he had a good start to the year and completely fell off after the all-star game.If you knew anything about hockey , you would know that just that is amazing at his age.Look at Fleury in Pittsburgh. He came in to young , disapeared for while and now has a stanley cup ring and let's face , his resume is nowhere near as impressive as Price's. If you're gonna hate anyone , you should hate management for brigning him in WAY too young, not Carey Price for playing the game. Last point , they had to give him a chance in the big league , because he completely dominated the minors , which last time I checked was alot higher then the Junior B level . Get your facts straight before you go off on some stupid rant.

AGREE WITH RYAN. IT WAS MY POINT AS WELL

I think we can all agree on one thing.....Spartacus is an idiot.
What ryan and nikale point out, has been mentioned to spartacus before.....He doesnt get it. I think deep down hes a leaf/senators fan and his rubbish comments are to get a reaction out of us.
95% of what he says make no sense and every statistic can be proven wrong.
Just once if he good say something positive and intelligent.
His deceiving little lies and comments are hard to digest on the best of days.

wow
i am just amazed that there are this many fucking idiots...actually i am not, who are Habs Fans.
like i said I am going to coime in here and stick it to all of you over and over and over and over agin becasuye in the last 50 years the onmly thing that has worked for this team is HONESTY.
AND ANYONE WHO IS HONEST AND KNOWS THE SPORT OPF HOCKEY AND UNDERSTAND GOALTENDING WOULD NEVER INA MILLION YEARS SUPPORT PRICES PLAY TO THIS POINT BOTH IN THE PLAYOFFS AND THE REGULAR SEASON
HIS RECORD IN HIS LAST 37 REGULAR SEASON GAMES IS 4 WINS - 32 LOSES AND 1 TIE
SO, FOR THE COKMPLETE FUCKING MORONS ABOVE WHO NOW SAY I DON'T KNOW WHAT I AM SAYING ABOUT PRICE
GO LOOK IT UP
HE ALLOWED 9 GOALS ON 11 SHOTS IN 10 MINUTES TO THE ALL ROOKIE TEAM AT THE ALL STAR GAME AND HAS BEEN ONE OKF THE WORST GOLAIES IN THE HISTORY OF THIS LEAGUE SINCE THAT DAY- HIS RECORD SPEAKS FOR ITSE;LF GO LOOK IT UP AND THEN SHIT THE FUCK UP CAUSE YOU STUCK YOUR FUCKING FOOT IN YOUR MOUTH WHEN YOU BROGUHT UP PRIOCE AND HIS REGULAR SEASON PERFORMANCE. AGAIN GO LOOK 2ND HALF OF THE YEAR STARTING FROM THE ALL START BREAK 4-32-1
IDIOT NOW MOVING ON TO HUET ANDS THOEDORE
NO COMMENT THEY BOTH WENT FURTHER THAN PRICE AND THODORE'S PERFORMANCE IN HIS 2ND APPEARANCE WAS SO MUCH ONE FOR THE AGES, HE HAS SIGNED A CONTRACT EXTENSION, A SIGINIFICANT CONTRACT EXTENSION BASED ON HOW HE PLAYED OIN THAT 2ND GAME, WHICH WAS SO FAR ABOVE ANYTHING PRICE WILL EVER DO IT BOOGGLES THE MIND THAT ANYOPNE COULD STILL BE ARGUING THIS WITH ME AND LASTLY
NO I DO NOT HATE EVERYTHING I HATE EVERYTHING THAT IS INVOLVED WITH THE COMPLETE INCOMPETENT MGMT OF THE MONTREAL CANADIANS FOR THE PAST 17 YEARS IN A ROW. THE ROCKET HAS BEEN ROLLING OVER IN HIS GRAVE SINCE THE MGMT FOR THIS TEAM DECIDED TO HONOR PATRICK ROY, THE LAST GUY TO DESERVE SUCH AN HONOR..

I cant believe how much crap comes out of your mouth. STop lying.
His record this year was
2008-09 MON G-52 W-23 L-16 OTL-10 143 2.83GAA S%.905
Because you lack the ability to spell...I doubt you can read.
Anyway see if you can undertand this liar.
In 52 games...Price won 23 games lost 16 and lost 10 more in ovewrtime. How did you get 32 loses after the all star break. You cant spell and you certainly cant add.
Again and again you prove to us that you are a liar and dont know shit about Price or Montreal.
If theodore was so great where is he....he was a plug. He had one good play off year and your ready to blow him behind the bleachers.
You are a desparate little toronto maple leaf fan who tries to get under the skin of real hockey people.
You are tring to compare their lineup with the x-box fanatasy team.....HOLY FUCK am I the only person who thinks thats kind of weird...
You say your a grown man but your running the present line up on the x-box to see what will happen during the first 4 games of the season..Come on there is something wrong here.
Tell us the truth how old are you???? Im guessing a cocky little 12 year old!!!
I argue with you because your a complete moron who's facts and thoughts are 110% wrong.
They went further than Price because they are older than Price dumb dumb. He signed an extension based on his play off performance the year before...and then what happened the next year little boy. His performance went down the toilet. Your so concerned about Prices boozing and smoking...what about Theodores family connection with the mob and all his parting.. Fucking guy was to busy checking his hair between periods to give a shit about winning..
Why do you try to let people believe you know anything.
It boggles our minds that you think you know shit, you lie about facts, you cant spell worth a shit, and your a cocky little leafs fan who somehow got a hold of his older sister computer.
I've said it before and I will say it again...Shut the fuck up or say something positive, true, and intelligent.
