The pregame hype was all about Jamie vs. Jordie, but the real story ended up being Kari vs. Carey.
While the Benn brothers were taking media call after media call, Al Montoya was turning up injured at the morning skate. That meant Carey Price, probably the single best netminder in the world, would start against the Dallas Stars. If he had not, the Montreal Canadiens may have had a very different game.
Okay, but it really did look as if Kari Lehtonen was going to win a goalie duel with Jesus Price Superstar for those first two periods, didn’t it?
