Wow!

A lot of fans are ready to proclaim Price the second coming (of Roy)....

He played a good, solid game. But the Habs were trapping like New Jersey in front of him, and clearly outshot the Penguins. I don't know how many shots Komisarek blocked himself. Yes Crosby got 6 shots, and yes, I think the Penguins got the better scoring chances over-all. But I think the Habs played a very defensive game and did a good job of keeping Crosby et al contained for the most part.

Price definitely has the goods to become a franchise goalie - hopefully in the near term. But I reserve judgement on when until I have seen him in a few more games, especially with the Habs team playing the more free-skating style that they seem to have adopted this year.

I like the idea of a Huet/Price pairing more and more, and I am sure I will gain more confidence in Price as the season goes on. I just feel it is way to early to tell.

(But a great start!)

Nice game for Price and the Canadiens.

I think his next game will be against Florida.

I thought he made the saves look very easy. Only a few goalies IMO make it look easy namely Brodeur and Roy. Those same goalies can look very impressive when they have to but 98% of the saves look easy.

Not only did the saves look easy but the rebound control was very good.

The only thing that was bad was the play outside the net. I am fairly certain that this was lack of experience with the D as Carey Price is considered to have very good puck handling abilities. I look forward to Carey Price handling the puck like Brodeur and Turco.

I'm a little disapointed in the Helmet, it kind of looks like an air brushed van from the 70's. Maybe it's nicer than those picture's do it justice. I'm still thinking van with a waterbed in the back though! :P

I thought his play outside the net was excellent! He had one or two gaffes that were probably the result of miscommunication between him and the d-man. But most of the time, when he handled the puck, he passed it quickly to a d-man and the zone was cleared with alacrity. He probably took away at least 7-8 potential scoring situations just by playing the puck well.

I remember a couple of times hearing the media talk about the fact that before he was drafted Gainey asked to Timmins if Price had the "mental" to play as a #1 goalie in montreal and the scouting staff had no doubt, thank god for that because the hype is just plain crazy, i'm not saying he doesn't deserve it but to some media we could already retire his jersey next year. I just heard is interview on habsinsideout and he is so calm.

I'll say he had a good game, I was impressed by his puck control around the net, we didn't have that in Montreal for quite some time, it will greatly help the defensmen.

Awesome mask, the color contrasting is great, I absolutley love it when our goalie's masks have more blue than red, it stands out more and looks flashier. The red on our home jersey takes too much away from the mostly red helmets.

I prefer more red but to each his own!! ;)

has anyone been by the Habs souvenir shop? Have they started selling PRICE 31 tshirts?

I was there earlier in the week.

No Price shirts yet.

Only Price jerseys.

Red helmets? Hmmm...I thought they were blue helmets on home (red) unies.
