LOUD NOISES!!!!!!!

2 goals in 2 minutes in the third period of their 3rd game in 4 nights; Note up 4-3.

Hell yeah.

And there goes the lead, but that damn thing had better not stand, he clearly played it with a high stick while batting it out of the air.

EDIT: Oh **** them in the face - goal stands. I have no idea how the hell they call that. I guess they're saying he hit it when it was below the crossbar, but you still can't swing down like it's a goddamn hatched to make contact with it. He brought the stick from a foot over his head to hack down on it.

Man I can't stand watching Price play goal. Watching the goalies that wear monster pads and just drop to the ground at the first sign of trouble just bore me. Habs look like a decent team this year though.

The Habs kept the wrong goalie, then.

Halak appears to me to have a lot of stand-up goalie in him, but he'll go to the butterfly on occasion. He's frenetic even on his best days back there.

But he's generally effective. He has no real choice - he's tiny for a goalie. Going to the butterfly everytime wouldn't work well for him.

I don't know if they ever had a choice. Price was so young and beloved when he first broke in, I think they had already made their decision before Halak started playing well and Price not so well.

I can't decide if Price is actually any good. He reminds me of a fairly lousy goalie the Blues had for a few years named Brent Johnson (who was actually not shitty for a few months, then became terrible again). Sometimes he looks good and sometimes he looks like complete crap. And at all times, he doesn't really seem to care either way.

Johnson played that very similar stoic style to Price. He ended up having a pretty decent career as a backup and wasn't nearly as talented as Price, but Price kinda reminds me of him at times.

In the end, Price could be an elite goalie...I guess. I'm still glad I don't have to root for him.

Is that the Johnson that backed up in PIT for a few years? He always killed NJ but then again all backups do. If you want to shut down NJ, play your backup.

Watching the Battle of Alberta this past Saturday renewed my love for this game. Reminiscent of the hard fought matches from the late 80's.
Being a Calgary fan throughout their existence I think I'm finally warming up to the idea of trading their only 2 assets and rebuilding. If they don't and these guys walk this team could be buggered for quite some time.

The Poz · 01-28-2013, 04:04 PM

Halak certainly outplayed Price while they were together but Price was the high draft pick and the favourite while coming off of a stellar showing at the World juniors tourney. He's a good goalie, I just don't think Montreal is any good. With Pacioretty now out for a lengthy stint on the IR things could only get worse.
Like NJ_CF said, their minds were already made up on Price.

The Avalanche need to stop taking so many damn penalties or get better on the PK.

Or both.

Seems like every year these days goes something like this, though. Four games in, and we're already down three top forwards. Hopefully they get O'Reilly's shit figured out soon.

**Predarat** · 01-29-2013, 08:24 AM

The Preds are awful right now. Yikes!

Greg Jamison's deal to buy the Phoenix Coyotes could be in jeopardy.

According to The Arizona Republic, the former San Jose Sharks CEO has until the city's imposed midnight deadline (2am et/11pm pt) to come up with financing for the club, or he will lose out on the arena-management deal that would see the city pay him an average of $15 million a year over 20 years to manage Jobing.com Arena.

Glendale Mayor Jerry Weiers, who was not the mayor of the city when the lease agreement was agreed to, denied an extension to Jamison when he was contacted Wednesday night by one of Jamison's attorneys.

"The bottom line is that Jamison himself hasn't talked with me," Weiers told the paper. "I do know that a group trying to help Jamison or trying to get involved with Jamison – however you want to word it – they're trying to figure out a way to keep his deal afloat."

If Jamison can't get the funding, it could once again set back a franchise that has had three previous potential owners try to buy the club since the NHL bought the team from U.S. Bankruptcy Court in 2009.

Rumor is group from Seattle will get the Coyotes.
