  The ultimate test will be once his career is complete and fully evaluated, same goes for Price.  He played really well last year, can he ever play like that again, we'll have to wait and see.  Same goes for Price, he was so good in his first year, and has not lived back up to that as of yet.  We'll see what Jaro can do when he is the full time number one.  

  I love him for what he did this year, and I do want to see him still do well.

  The role Max has on this team is/was always simple.  Defense first, skate your but off and use your size and pot a few goals if you can.  Max has shown he can do this, he has also shown he can take a good chunk of the season off.

  I am really confused about how you think he is confused about his role.  They have never asked him to be a number one center, or a PP specialist.  So after that the roles are fairly limited.  

  I think management is finally starting to put out a good motto for this team.  Work hard night in and night out, all the passengers will be kicked to the curb.  I do not care if a guy has the skill of Kovalev, you do not give it your all every night we'll see you later.

  1 - he will sign, i care, if contract keeps him as rfa he signs cheap, if we get him a few years into ufa we pay more

  2 - Shulz, but don't expect either making club full time this year

  3 - not sure how well he can play defensively which is important in bottom 6

  4 - PK will be ok

  5 - mistakes and size problem, sick of the instant analysis that people feel is 100% correct

  No matter how "true" it was, you do not make that stuff public.  You deal with it in house.  Especially in a market like Montreal where the media are a bunch of rabid dogs that will jump on anything.

  I agree, we need a hard working, slightly bigger bottom 6 who can also kill penalties.  If we could limit Gomer/Plek/Gionta PK time a bit more they would have some more juice for 5 on 5 and the PP.  Not too many teams use 3 of their most offensive players on the pk.

  Arpon who I normally enjoy to read has been killing me lately.

  .912 save % isn't too shabby, and probably the most important stat when looking at a goalie.  Price does not need a bounce back year, funny thing is that his number were better in 09/10 than 08/09, he just didn't get the results.
