That one that went between Merrill's legs he'd have to have been lucky for it to just hit him.
That...I agree wholeheartedly with, and was my initial response. There’s a huge difference between “crap” and what’s stated in bold.
Tonight will be the telling tale...if it happens, I suspect last change could be the difference maker in bringing it to fruition.
The difference is Puck Bounces for the goalie.. Price was getting them before.ie: hitting the post. hitting him when he didn't see it.. 1st goal for example in game 2, Price was screened, you can see him leaning left trying to follow the puck, when he picks it up he goes for the blocker save, it squeaks in under the blocker,, series before he gets that and it's a great save.. Vasey is getting more..
I'm the first to say that Price, for at least the last 3 seasons, has been pretty mediocre (this playoff run notwithstanding, of course) but the one time I will always come to his defense is when people whine about his play after his teammates score only one goal in support. I don't care if the final score is 6-1. If all you can do is score one goal you are basically requiring your goalie to pitch a shutout. One goal gives a goalie zero margin for error. It isn't fair to him no matter how much money he's paid.
Last 3 regular seasons Price wasn't good overall
And that goal is anyone but Price's fault.
Ok so expecting him at his age to be better is foolish so why bother being a fan?
It wasn’t his fault but he would have stopped that shot in the Vegas series. He looks completely off in this series. I have no idea why, however.
Perhaps TBay isn’t has a better / more skilled group of forwards?
True
