Price or Halak?
|
Guy Carbonneau's got a pretty tough decision to make for game 4... |
Some would argue that last night's performance was simply a blip on the radar for Carey Price, but it's been a three-game blip and the Canadiens will be facing a must-win game tomorrow.
The Habs lost 3-2 last night and trail the series 2-1. They can't afford to go down 3-1 because at that point, the series is over. The Flyers have been outchanced by the Canadiens in this series, but chances don't win games, goals do.
The Habs mounted a "too little, too late" comeback in the third period last night. They wouldn't have been in that position, had they been able to cash in on some golden opportunities earlier in the game. On the other hand, if Derian Hatcher hadn't taken such a stupid penalty, the Canadiens would have lost 3-0.
Price has looked shakey in the first three games of this series and I'm not sure I'd start him in game 4. He's been through a lot as a 20-year old and maybe he needs a rest to settle down.
I know if you ask him, he'd say he's ready to go. That's what professional athletes do.
Who gives you a better chance to win? Probably Price, but Halak is no slouch and maybe the Flyers need a different look.
