• Comment on About last night ...
  Price finally played the way Price is supposed to play. The reality is that when he allows weak goals, it completely deflates the team and everyone plays worse after that. When he plays like last night he gives everyone confidence. That's hockey... you make a big save at one end and get a big goal at the other. It will be tough to get through Anderson, but the team played amazing last night and the physicality and toughness were the highest I've seen on this team in quite a number of years. I get a gut feeling that Price losing his teeth and walking them over so calmly to the trainer will be a turning moment in his career. If he plays like last night we can beat anyone.
• Comment on Habs practise after Price named Molson Cup Player of the Year
  Amazing to claim Bouillon is better than Kaberle in almost every aspect of the game lol. Just amazing... Essentially the only aspect where one could argue he's better is that he's "tougher". Kaberle is 5 times the player Bouillon is the only thing he doesn't bring is physicality. Which is why he needs to be paired with a defensive d-man like Gorges or Tinordi. Bouillon has been an unremarkable player his entire career. Have you watched any games this year? I guess Bouillon's occasional useless "tough" check is worth the garbage time he's played on the PP achieving absolutely nothing. Bouillon couldn't make 10% of the plays Kaberle makes in his dreams.

  Kaberle should be playing, at LEAST instead of Bouillon. To think Bouillon is better than Kaberle is a joke. I'm not really sure what Kaberle has done wrong. Even this season in limited action he's +4. I think at the very least he should be playing on the 3rd line with Tinordi instead of Bouillon.
• Comment on Tinordi in lineup, Weber out for Jets game
  Absolutely agree. Hopefully Markov and Bouillon can get the week off here, Markov has been atrocious defensively. I really think that going into the playoffs, we should pair 3 offensive guys with 3 defensive guys. I think Kaberle would excel with Gorges as his partner. Anyone can play with PK as he's by far our best D. Subban - Bouillon (or Tinordi if he shows he can stay) Markov - Diaz Kaberle - Gorges
• Comment on Tinordi in lineup, Weber out for Jets game
  1- Price has certainly been playing pretty poorly but anyone saying the Habs should trade Price is a clown. 2- It boggles my mind that with the putrid defense the team is playing, Kaberle is still left as a scratch. The guy is nowhere near as bad as people make him out to be and it is a farce to think that guys like Weber, Drewiske and a couple others are better than he is. Kaberle should be playing on our 3rd D pairing and on the PP. I would actually rest Markov and Bouillon for the last 2 games and play Tinordi-Kaberle as the 3rd pairing, see what happens.

  Numero uno.
• Comment on Liveblog: Canadiens edge Lightning 3-2, reclaim division lead
  I've been listening to the Price haters vs. Price supporters all year round, and as usual, there's a little more vitriol than necessary from both sides. However, after 43 games, all of which I have watched, there's something about that goalie that doesn't click. I just can't put my finger on it. Does he have a lack of focus? Does he just not care? I've always supported Price and I think his skill set is top 5 in the NHL, but for some reason, I can never feel fully confident when he's in front of the cage. You just get that feeling that a lousy goal is just about to go in. When push comes to shove, the Habs have allowed the 5th fewest shots on net per game in the NHL, and I believe Price is 29th in save percentage... No matter which way you cut it, if that .907 figure was even somewhere in the league average at .920, the Habs would probably have a handful of extra wins and have locked up the division last week. I really hope he can turn it around for the playoffs.
