Live by the sword, die by the sword. Heal well, Mr. Emelin! - Comment on About last night ...

I find it interesting that Price and Budaj have the same W-L-OTL ratio after 30 games. Highly unlikely, but again shows consistency. - Comment on About last night ... (updated after Sunday afternoon game)
Habs have their centre, he just isn't ready yet. And they'll just so easily find some good players to replace those you want to get rid of? Teams can't just trade for a top-flight centre. You'll also have to find hearts as big as DD's and Gio's to replace them with if you really want to at this stage of the Canadiens' journey. And your third line doesn't work, as we saw when Ryder first arrived with the team. He doesn't belong there. - Comment on About last night ...
I would say that Timo is being somewhat positive and decently accurate in his analysis after my misunderstanding of his point of view for a long time (he may not be able to take my word for it though because I used to post in HIO's earliest days before retiring, albeit continuing to read posts, and to then find myself posting again only for the last month or so, maybe longer). It's normal for people to fluctuate, to lose confidence, and to regain it. I don't think Timo has ever been sold on Price, but some people are harder to please, and I've seen efforts on his part to be a more positive, supportive fan. Although I esteem Price in a higher view than Timo, the core - and most important part - of his comment were these words: "Habs played the kind of game I expected them to play - lots of mistakes...But they pulled it off, that's all that counts". T-h-a-t-'s a-l-l t-h-a-t c-o-u-n-t-s. Beautiful. And he's right. And look on the the bright side, if Price doesn't see ANY shots, Timo can stop worrying about the goaltending, and start blaming the defense for screening Price all the time!!! Price leads the league in wins. Whether he wins with low stats and a low-scoring club, or a ballooned GAA and a high-scoring team...as long as he gives his team a chance to win. Price used to be hot or cold: stop everything or stop nothing, no in between. But at least now he's giving the team a chance to win every game. - Comment on Liveblog: Canadiens beat Senators 4-3 in Shootoutout

I liked what I saw of his little ice time. Hopefully he doesn't turn out into one of those forgotten men that moves on to another team.
