dwdemonwolf Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 Very pleased with Buddha's first season as a Hab. 17 solid games, .913 SVP. He isn't CP, but who is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MkGee Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 they need to play him a little more though i mean if we make the playoffs carey has got to be rested because you know he's gonna play every game and budaj did pretty well so why not give him more chances and maybe throw him out against an actual team too and not make price play every difficult game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HabsAlways Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 Based on the things Peter says in the article below, I love his attitude and the fact that he seems to really like playing in Montreal http://www.montrealgazette.com/sports/hockey/montreal-canadiens/Unemployed+goalie+Peter+Budaj+working/7389322/story.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 Here's another thought. Should we get a settlement and a compressed schedule,,, we'll most definitely need to count on Budai for added starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should we get a settlement and a compressed schedule,,, we'll most definitely need to count on Budai for added starts. I'm actually hoping for a shortened schedule instead of a compressed one, but you are right... Should the deal get done and we have a compressed 82 game schedule, every team is going to need to rely on the back-up goaltender to help get them through the season. Budaj will be relied upon.

powerplay2009 Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 Jets and Sens are up next back to back. Does Budaj get a game??? I think so, but Carey is a workhorse, so I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't. I hope he does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to think the Jets would be the game at home. Sens in Ottawa has to go to Price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roy_133 Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 his positioning is miserable Which goes with his rebound control. Seems like a nice guy and the loss isn't on him but he needs to be a lot better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like a nice guy and the loss isn't on him but he needs to be a lot better I thought he was pretty decent for a back-up last year. Much better than Auld with rebound control. Let's keep in mind that this is his first game in about 9 months, so he's bound to be a touch shaky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even Price had some pretty shaky rebound control in his first game of the year, and that's normally his strong suit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jbaker8787 Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 On a team like this when we have a clear cut number one who will play 80-90% of the games the backup needs to be able to come in after sitting for a few weeks. Since its been 9 months he will get the benefit of the doubt but I never thought he'd be here past this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can't be a very promising situation being a backup to a guy like Price. I doubt Budaj would even be interested in coming back next year,, unless of course he gets no interest from any other team.

powerplay2009 Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 I don't know, I heard he's great in the locker room and loves playing in Montreal. If he thinks he can be a starter, he'll leave, but I can't imagine he realistically thinks he is a #1 goalie. He was #1 in Colorado and was absolutely abysmal. I wouldn't be surprised if he stays and signs a longer contract as far as backups are concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was actually quite surprised he signed on for two years in the first place. He hasn't complained about his ice time, so that makes him an excellent team mate who knows his role. It would be difficult to find a real quality backup happy to only play a few games a year. It's quite possible that management sees him as the perfect guy back there.

BeanCountingHab Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 He wasn't that bad, just a really rough three minutes there. I'm glad we got him in last night actually, there was a good chance he was going to have a tough go in his first game in 9 months, may as well do it on the road against a hot goalie. At least this way we didn't 'waste' a one goal game on Price and we should be able to play him in this weekends back to back now if we want in two important divisional games where we should have Subban back. I see two spots where I'd throw Peter in in February. Thursday against Buffalo and the game against the Canes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
