maas_art Posted March 1, 2021 Report Share Posted March 1, 2021 Per Ducharme/practice: - Anderson is "doubtful" - He has not decided on the goalie for next game (will announce tues AM) - Lineup - including all d pairs - most likely remains the same as last game.

jennifer_rocket Posted March 2, 2021 Report Share Posted March 2, 2021 Yeah. We cannot let the Senators become the new Red Wings. We need to get a win this evening. January was great. February was awful. Now it's March. Time to turn the page on last month and get back to winning some games. Allen should go. If not, I will be very disappointed in Ducharme's decision-making.

I am just hoping he doesnt want to "rock the boat" with regard to too many changes all at once but Im not sure how he doesnt fix some of the really obvious problems he inherited from Julien.

maas_art Posted March 2, 2021 Report Share Posted March 2, 2021 And its confirmed: Price in nets. Anderson still doubtful for tonight - he did skate this morning but before the regular practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great article on Sportsnet this morning regarding why Ducharme is using both Danault and Price the way he is. Basically it says that Ducharme knows how important the two of them are to this teams success and wants to give them the chance to turn their seasons around but he can't wait too long to make changes if they can't turn it around quickly enough. I think Ducharme feels like with the changes he made to the system he can get them back on track quite quickly. https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/canadiens-notebook-ducharme-living-dream-price-danaults-usage/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Price at the top of his game is better than Anderson at his. Danault at 55+ points is a huge help with 3 other young centres... I totally understand why DD would want to get them firing again... .....but what the heck is the excuse for Chairot on the top Pair? There are several choices on defense that are... head scratchers at best at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a side note according to ColHockeyNow two teams (Colorado and Edmonton) called on Price's availability heading into the draft last season and were told he is not available. Have to think that if things don't change soon for the Habs that this could change heading into this years draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be interesting to know what they were offering. Obviously we'd have to take back salary but if Colorado was offering say Byram + Grubauer + (we'd have to take back a goalie) then it would have been in MB's best interest to listen. If they were just offering spare parts & expecting him to view it as a salary dump, i dont he would have had any interest. Might now though - although MB is stubborn. I think his idea of a cup champion in montreal starts with Price, Weber, Gallagher, Petry etc. Even though several of them are slowing down. 44 minutes ago, campabee82 said: We CAN and WILL win tonight 4-2! I agree. They've been doing a lot of things right the last 2 games. I think tonight is the night. I hope its even more dominant a win (although I'll settle for any win, tbh). 39 minutes ago, H_T_L said: I think we can too, but playing Price in his current frame of mind is a big gamble when you have a much hotter second option. Also agree. We need Price to get back to his old self but we need wins MORE right now. I sure hope they know what they are doing. Price has been up & down. A few terrific games and several horrendous ones. Hopefully we get 'good price' tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramcharger440 Posted March 2, 2021 Report Share Posted March 2, 2021 Wow Price in tonight........wow I could be wrong but I think it is a mistake! Ottawa is playing with some swagger right now and Price is like a piece of glass a couple of bad goals and he will shatter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCAF48 Posted March 2, 2021 Report Share Posted March 2, 2021 Ducharme had a chance to put his stamp on this team by starting Allen and he chose not to upset Price. Carey is still the boss and I hope he plays really well tonight. Ducharme is beginning his tenure as a Julien clone with just a different voice in the players' ears. I like Price but I also like making the play-offs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek Stepan also gone for the season if we don’t find our legs and energy tonight then this is a huge disappointment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Price but I also like making the play-offs. For all we know Price may have looked great in the last couple of practices. I agree I probably would of chosen Allen , but I'm not there and Price isn't just any goaltender. I'm sure he's consulted with the goalie coaches ect. If he looks bad early he can always pull him also. I'm sure Price wants to get back in there to prove himself also. I think Carey himself knows he's probably on a short leash. He's been coach for two games. I think we all should give him a little lee way. We all know we need to win now but I'm sure he's aware of that also. Funny how all of us fans can see everything so oblivious and clearly (myself included) but I didn't even get called about coaching the team?

richard464 Posted March 2, 2021 Report Share Posted March 2, 2021 Very suprised to see Price get the nod tonight? However I have not witnessed what has been going on at practice and hopefully the coaching staff has and then made the right decision. Tonight's game will have a major impact on both Price and Ducharme should the decision go sour! I really hope Price comes ready to play as it will play a major role in his overall attitude and moral right now. Showing up physically will not cut it. He has to be mentally sharp and focused for 60 minutes as do the guys in front of him. Saturday was a real positive step for the team and hopefully all of that good work will not go to waste tonight. I predicted three wins this week even considering what has been a disadvantage of playing at home. Staying positive and tonight will be the first of three! Go Habs Go!!!

Feelslike86 Posted March 2, 2021 Report Share Posted March 2, 2021 Can't believe they're starting Price. Give him a rest. You paid the money for a quality backup, now let him run with it while Price finds his game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
