Carey Price is unprotected.
I said it. I don’t think it was completely real to me until now.
Over the past few years, Price has had his ups and downs in the regular season, leading to a lot of speculation that he’s washed up. But, every year, come playoff time, he proves those narratives wrong. This year, in particular, I don’t think that the Montreal Canadiens make that run through the playoffs without the absolutely stellar goaltending he provided.
I’m not saying that Price alone was the reason because ultimately you have to score goals to win games.
