I know Price was great during 2 periods and without him we couldn't win game one but he could do better probably in of 3 goals scored against him in 3th , specially Bergeron one !.

Yeah, disagree there. Second goal he couldn't see it at all. Third goal took a weird bounce off the ice and shot up over him.
 
I can't take anything Habs-25 says seriously when he talks about Price. The agency is clear.

He could have done better on three of the goals??? What, like having psychic powers to see through traffic? Or an ice chipper to remove bumps on the ice so the puck won't bounce?

Come on.

3th one wasn't deflected, watch it again dude !

Agreed. Drives me absolutely nuts. The backing off into a defensive posture does not increase your chances of winning. It's just like the prevent defense in football.

We have the speed to play an aggressive two man forecheck instead of the crap we're seeing.

Chara doesn't look great either. I mean he's still a very good player. But we can be exposing them. They are missing a couple solid dmen. Speed kills. Have to use it more.

What is it u expect out of goalies? The 3rd one clearly bounced off the ice w Bou Bou moving away at the last minute.

I thought he way overplayed Hamiltons shot, but Price is getting the kind of traffic Rask is not seeing. Rask is the recipient of an very solid defensive system Julien employs - has he faced one grade A scoring chance compared to the 2 or 3 per period Price us facing?

You just can't keep sitting back the way the Habs do. The whole game plan is sit and wait on a counter opportunity instead of create your own chances. I've seen players peel off and exit the offensive zone just because a puck goes in a corner. You'd think they were line changing but nope, they peel off and wait in the neutral zone. It is the most ridiculous thing I've seen and the fact that they do it so much means it's being taught that way. Enough of this not listening crap.

The Habs simply do not press and cycle enough. Their D has been neutered as they don't pinch unless behind when they are obviously activated. I'm still waiting for a coach that will bring an offensive system to the Habs. Watch the Hawks, watch the Bruins, it's constant attack mode. The Hawks were up 5-1 in the final game of the first round and they were still attacking and attacking hard.

The Habs pussyfoot system is just hard to watch.

we didn't sit back though, the bruins didn't get many shots in the 3rd period for a long time, they got a goal, a nice one and got some life, the next two goals were lucky bounces, shit happens..

Go slow mo at 1:46 as Boullion rotates clockwise towards Price, the puck bounces off the ice - it's going low, then all of a sudden goes over Price's shoulder - that clearly indicates a change in trajectory.

Marc Denis is wrong.

And why would Marc Denis be the authority on this anyway?
 
The third goal literally bounced up at a 45° angle. It hit something in the ice and shot up. Not Prices fault.

Again, if the Habs showed any killer instinct and used an aggressive forecheck the Bruins wouldn't have been in our end all period.

I disagree. I don't think the Habs sat back at all, the Bruins scored on only their second shot of the period after more than 10 minutes of play. It was only then that the players started being nervous and played on their heels.
 
Naw, Bruins offensive zone time was ridiculous in the third. Once we went up by two they just kept coming and the Habs had zero answer.

Dude have u ever played the game? Even if u have multiply the speed by 10. It's unrealistic to expect ANY goalie to make that save, w a rocket deflecting 15-ft in front of u.

All u can expect, even from elite goalies nowadays is to steal 1-game per series, and play to their career avg the rest of the way. Players & the game is too fast, players too strong, and have too quick a release w their 1-piece sticks nowadays for goalies to steal series the way Hasek did back in the clutch & grab 90's.

If that's what u'r expecting, might as well stop watching, u'll be severely disappointed. Look how bad Vezina goalie Rask is looking, and he hasn't even faced more than 1 or 2 grade A scoring chances.

whats with the hmmm then if you are not blaming Price, without Price this game is over in the 2nd period and we don't win game 1. The 3rd goal was a weird bounce and I agree, it wasnt off bou, it was a weird bounce.. your agenda against Price is clear though
