I'm not sure why u keep focusing on the goalie, it's not the reason the Habs are trailing 3-2 in the series. If anything it's the reason the Habs have actually been in it for 5-games. It would've & should've been a blowout last night if Price didn't stop a couple of breakaways. Plus he doesn't have a Bruins or Kings D in front of him....
I suggest u take a look at Grade A scoring opportunities for both teams in this series....

because we need our goalie to be in top of his game in most of games vs Boston otherwise we won't win this , simple and Price was not good yestarday . simple .
Price need to play like he did in our first game in order to give us a chance to win , anything less , we are out dude,lets not fool ourself , specially in game 7 (if it goes to game 7)

U keep forgetting there's something called the law of averages, it applies to all human beings. U may have 1 or two outstanding days at work, but the other days will fall towards your natural mean.
In Price's case, if he had a big, solid D in front of him limiting 2nd shot & grade A scoring opportunities, like Rask & Quick's D's his GAA would very well be below 2...
We are talking about human beings, not pre-programmed computers or robots. Hockey's a team game, not individual game, as I've been saying the players are too strong, the shots too hard, and the releases too quick for any goalie to be able to steal series like Hasek did in the clutch & grab days.

i don't say Price is the reason we are not winning... sure he is not .but do you agree our team is better than back to the time Theo was our goalie and most people will say and agree Price >Theo . if is this is the case and if our team in 2014 is way way better than 2002-3 why we can't win more than a round in P-O with even a way better goalie according to most people
If you have a solid 3 pairing as you are saying ( case of Chicago) then you don't need an elite goalie win it for you, Neimi won, Crawford won dude !i don't want price be outstanding in all games but shut the door when is matter , in crucial moments like in game 2 ,late of game .
about last game even he wasn't good, i didn't put blame on him because we sucked as team . Look at PK , he has been outstanding for most part of P-O , if people call Price an elite goalie then he should raise his game like PK in most part of P-O and there should be difference between him and the rest of goalies , i know he made some very good saves but if you can't make the one that make a difference between victory and defeat then you still didn't make your team win .
i know is a team game i know all that but exceptional athletes make you win game by their own .i don't know how much you are in to soccer but this is the case with leo messi and chris ronaldo and to answer your question YES some wonder if these guys are human ?! this is what make a difference between a good player, excellent and outstanding, price is not there . at least not yet ..

Indirectly, it is about him.
If we have any chance of winning, he needs to be on his game. Anything short of that and we're done.

Great racket also-- tuition cost have greatly outpaced the rest of the economy. Lots of debt incurred because it seemed "like the thing to do". Definitely not for everyone. And overrated as you say.
