Audio: Carbo coy on Game 4 goalie

We will win tonight, Price will play. This is a wakeup call for the team, it's now or never to destroy those Philly bullies once and for all! Man, I sure could go for a nice big fat juicy Philly Cheesesteaks right now! "We will win the Cup only with Carey Price in the nets"

this is our whole season tonight.2-2, or down 3-1.its almost like price is drinking tylonol pm before game time, he's not alert and too calm.for the luv of us fans carey wake the &%%$ up buddy!! true, down a few redbulls before the game and when we win the cup you can do redbull commercials this summer.stand up ,dont go down early cause the book on you is to shoot high.as it stands now the decision to trade huet was ok cause weve already gone farther than washington. this is he game of the year!! sink or swim. go habs goooooo!!

Man, coaching has to suck. If he picks a goalie and they win, the goalie's the hero. If they lose, the coach is the bum. 1. www.flickeringpictures.com - not a hockey site, but still kinda neat 2. Josh Gorges on Montreal's attack: "They're comin', they're comin' and they keep comin'. Just line after line, wave after wave..."

With respect to Dave Stubbs article in this mornings gazette, Will it be Price or Halak? I like your reasoning here Mr Stubbs. I think because the Habs don't want to be 3-1 behind to the Flyers, I believe Price should be in nets. This is a must game for the Habs and they need to go with the goalie who got them to this point thus far. But then again, this decision, as hard or easy as it is, isn't for me to decide. This is why Carbo gets paid the big bucks. Yours Truly, Rocket Richard " YOU MUST HATE TO LOSE " http://leonsinvestmentservices.info

Price said in today's Gazette that he got a piece of every puck that went in last game. My suggestion to him is to drink a few cans of Red Bulls before the game to improve his concentration and readiness.

If Price starts, I hope he'll be sharp and move his head and be mobile so that there wont be any more screening excuses, and talk to the defensemen more for sure. We should win tonight. Habs are 4-0 and Price is 2-0 and has .953 sv % on Wednesdays this year. Aside from goaltending, Carbo needs to do a bold move though at some point to wake up the team so they play with more consistence. I dont think its panicking; 10 games into these playoffs and that full effort hasnt come very often. We've won purely on talent but sooner or later, heart has to enter the equation if we're to advance. We've lost 4 of the last 6 and some players are waiting for other players to step up. Koivu cant be the only one sounding the charge. If it was me, start Price tonight, then go with Halak on Saturday in Montreal even if Price wins tonight(Halak has only lost once on home ice in 8-9 games). But I wouldnt go with Halak tonight if the intention is to come back with Price on Saturday. If Halak goes tonight, then he should be left there until he screws up, as he is not a typical second fiddle goalie eventhough he is treated like one. But we all know that isnt going to happen and he will leave the organization eventually. Go habs go.

It appears to me that Price was mentally tired in the last two games. He was not sharp and not focus. You may find excuses. A sharp goalie should be able to stop some of those goals. We really need to adjust our attack. Someone needs to go in front of their net either screen or deflect the puck. # of shoots doesn't count. We have to score.

Obviously Price will be the guy. We just have to get some luck on our side since the Flyers have had it all so far (as explained here: http://habsbros.blogspot.com/ )

GO!HABS!GO!PRICE WILL STEAL THE SHOW!

Game 4 looks to get a bit tougher. Highly likely that Knuble will play. http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=236233&lid=headline&lpos=secStory_nhl

everyone,please go on this website: donnels@phillynews.com and read that garbage spewed out by one of the most ignorant biased piece of crap I have ever read. Please send him an email showing your disgust and displeasure. It;'s unbelievable. I wrote him, giving him an earful!

Man...the Habs really are the Yankees of hockey...hate'em or love'em and break out the conspiracy theories... http://www.sportsnet.ca/thewire/hockey/2008/04/29/are_the_flyers_playing... In there is a link to a Philadelphia paper that expands on the topic...

OK since everyone else is doing it I'll throw in my two cents LINE 1 - Kovy, Koivu, Higgins LINE 2 -PLEKS, BROTHERS K LINE 3 - BEGIN, KOSTOPOULUS, SMOLINKSKI LINE 4 - LAPIERRE OR GRABOVSKI, (DOES GRABS STILL EXIST OR IS HE LIKE POKAROO- "HE WAS HERE AND I MISSED HIM AGAIN") RYDER, LATENDRESSE D -IN- STREIT D -OUT- O'BYRNE GOAL- HALAK - one game Just hear me: This is not to punish Price but to make him mad and hungry. He will easily forget being out for 20 minutes of the last game but a full game will allow him to stew. Plus, Halak knows the only way he will see any more action is to get a shutout. This is a Win-Win and Price is in the pipes on Saturday night back at home. LET me spell this out before someone calls me a nasty name: I am a Price Fan, this is a postive suggestion that motivates everyone. Ryder (and Grabs) get one shot and whatever they did to tick Carbo off could be forgiven. I am eager to hear any response, but dont bother if its name calling. Could I even get Mr.Stubbs to respond? _______________________ "GO HABS GO!" "SCORE THE FIRST GOAL!"

habs need to play desperate hockey. play like they did in the regular season! pedal to the metal for 60 minutes. score the 1st goal, and whichever goalie plays, must be sharp and not allow any soft goals. This game will show us what the habs are made of!

quote from Hatcher:" If I knew I was getting a 5 minute penalty, I would have finished the job"! I hope Komisarek injures this guy badly!

the thing the habs need to do to win this series. Defence, either block the shot or get the f%^k out of the way. Most of the philly goals have either been deflected in our own net or we are screening our own goalie. If we made life as miserable for the opposing goalie as we have made it for our own goalie we would be up 3-0. The offense has had a tonne of chances, we have hit more posts and miss more open nets then the flyers of had actual scoring chances. The flyers have no business even being in this series and imho are a weaker opponent than the bruins are. The habs powerplay needs more urgency, we are dumping the puck in but are not working hard to retrieve it. Our 2 pp goals came from pounding pucks from the point and going to the net. This is called simplifying the powerplay, this is what we need to do. We win game 4, we will win the series.

You're arrogant, ignorant and most importantly an embarrassment ... now f off before you dig yourself into a deeper hole troll Why do you constantly berate people on this blog? name calling and profanity isn't necessary. that's why you don't belong here. thinking you know better, makes you a leaf fan!

Hey, here's a novel concept. How about Carbo talks to Price and sees how he feels. Watches him in practice to see how he plays. And then makes a decision based on that, rather on wild speculation and favouritism, like we are seeing on this site. No question, Koivu is the best player on the ice thus far in the series. So where are all those Saku bashers who were calling him washed up and screaming that we should dump him couple of months ago? Please take one step forward and identify yourselves. :-) It sucks being down a game going into game 4 in Philly. Lots of missed chances. We have had way more chances. Unfortunately, I can't say we were the better team in the first 3 games because the better team includes goaltending and defence, and it includes burying the chances you get. Biron has been exceptional, and he has been the difference in 2 games. But we saw in the third period that he is not superman. When we play well and finish the way we should, we can and did beat him. Twice. In 5 minutes. Well, let's try to stay positive and hope the players do the same. Higgins, in a post game interview, said it quite well. We were outplaying them in many respects and our players took to the ice confident that they could score three in the final 20 minutes to tie it up and then win the game. They almost did. Okay, I'll 'fess up. I could stand the suffering no longer after the second period and changed the channel. But I tuned back in just in time for the major penalty and the 2 goals. I'm glad Higgins and the others didn't give up like I did. That's why they are the players and I am the couch potato. Go Habs. Take it back to Montreal tied at 2 apiece and with all the momentum.

did gainey and price have a walk by the st. lawrence today? It worked for kov.

Here's the thing with Price, as I see it. 1. The kid likes a lot of work. He isn't getting it. As much as I hate Stevens, he was smart to tell the Flyers to throw the puck in the corner away from Price. Price doesn't see many pucks, loses his edge and when they do shoot, they compound the problem by throwing bodies in front of the net so he doesn't get a good look at the shot. Add to that our D has put in 2 shots, and helped screen on at least 3 others.....and you have a goalie that is losing his confidence and giving up goals. If I were Carbo or Melanson, I'd have had Price in net today and have Grabs, Dandy, Stewart etc shoot on him and do drills against him for awhile. Show him some rubber and let him get his game back. It's not like he saw a lot of action last night, so he should be able to take the workout. The only change in the lineup I'd make is sitting Lapierre and bringing in Ryder. I'd move Higgins to Lapierre's spot, and put Ryder on the top line with Kovy and Koivu. Ryder has a great shot, and has something to prove. Higgins, God Love him, is giving 110%, but is snakebitten. Put him on the 3rd line and let his speed and grit wreak havoc without having the pressure of scoring, while giving Kovy and Saku someone who can finish. I still believe we'll win this series. We ARE, despite what some say, outplaying Philly by a wide margin. We are beating Biron, but are shooting wide or hitting posts. The only way to change that is to crash the net and bang in some garbage goals as we did last night. Once our luck starts to change, the floodgates will open. Biron is NOT that good. 110% for 45 seconds, then change 'em up. Bang the boards, crash the net, keep our emotions in check and keep the shooting lanes open for Price to see. If they do those 5 things, we will be victorious.

Wow...what is with all the hate towards Price? What happened to, "No matter what happens in the playoffs, we will be thrilled with the progress made"? If anyone thougt the series was going to be easy, then they are being arrogant...the Canadiens will win the series, end of story. Is it just a few fans coming out in frustration, seeing games that can be won at the end of one's fingertips only to be snatched away? It happens, big deal, it isn't the first time and certainly will not be the last by anybody. Have these past few threads been hijacked by trolls and other disturbers? The aura from this site lately just does not feel good at all...

Anyone else going to be in Philly tomorrow (Wed) night? Are there any designated Habs-fan-friendly (or at least -heavy) bars?

Montreal will destroy the Flyers tomorrow night. Biron will collapse and Price will be a brick wall. 6-1 Habs GO HABS GO! P.S. - Hey Markov! Please stop hesitating and shoot the puck.

I've just about had my fill of Red Light Price's lame goaltending, its time to give Halak a chance.

Hey ! First time poster but I've been a reader on this site since a bit. First off I want to adress this sense of panick that is present since last night. I have full confidence that this team can rebound and come back to Montreal with a split. If you look at the Flyers, they took one game in Montreal. They were dominated by the Habs but still found a way to win game 2. We win tomorrow and it's a 2-2 series. Why should we panick ? The habs don't even have to change anything or try to ''steal'' a game. They are dominating the games, all they have to do is finish some of their chances and we should be fine. Easier said than done right ? But if you look at last night, especially the PPs in the 3rd period, it was a night and day difference from the other PPs we had in the game. The Habs were able to control the puck and create lots of good chances. I think they need to build on the 3rd period from last night and keep the momentum going for game 4. Don't expect the Flyers to change anything, so we should once again have many PPs. An other reason to be optimistic for game 4 is that I felt we looked a bit scared last night. It was their first playoff game in Philly and they didn't know what to expect. We have to remember that this is a young team and some of them didnt look focus and it showed in their play. I beleive that tomorrow's game will be different because this team, especially the young players will know what to expect and will be better prepared to play the game. You may think i'm way off with this but if you ever played hockey you know that some cities or arenas are more intimadating then others. Heck, even the Bruins admitted after game 1 in Montreal of not knowing what to expect and being intimadated by the Habs crowd. Also, Price will most likely get the call tomorrow. Demers lived and died by Roy in 93 and I fully expect Carbo to do the same. We need Pleks and Kovy to bring their A game tomorrow night. We need Saku to keep playing like he his because in my eyes he's presently the best player on the ice for both teams. We need Price to make some key saves. If we play to our full potential, their won't be any reason to panick Habs Fans. Hoping we can talk about the Playoffs for at least an other Round ! Go Habs Go

I know alot of us aren't sure on which goalie to start in game 4, because we don't have a crystal ball. But if Price is truly mentally fatigued, do we have another option other than Halak? Halak is considered a good goalie. He saved our bacon last year. I have full confidence in him. Maybe Price needs a 1 on 1 session with Melanson, going over basics, and telling him to not let the flyers get him off his game, or maybe a talk with his parents to get him back on track. maybe hypnosis? I don't know. Is he too young? Is the pressure getting to him? Not ready for prime time? I just want to win! I don't care who gets the job done, but just win baby!

Why the Captain's the Captain: "When pushed to reveal what he would tell Carey Price following the young goalie’s tough start in Philly, Saku Koivu didn’t hesitate for a second. “He just needs to forget about it and put it behind him,” said Koivu. “Carey has played enough hockey in his life to know that there will tough games like this. All he needs to know is that all his talent and skills haven’t gone anywhere. He’s still got all of that going for him. I’m not that worried about it because I know what he can do.”" Damn right. 1. www.flickeringpictures.com - not a hockey site, but still kinda neat 2. Josh Gorges on Montreal's attack: "They're comin', they're comin' and they keep comin'. Just line after line, wave after wave..."

Hey Guys great pic of price at www.nhl.com frozen moment shot

Why would Carbo put in a fatigued Price when he has a fresh great goalie in Halak? because he's a moron, and loyalty means more to Carbo than winning a playoff series! and that's an NHL coach? makes me want to vomit.

Carbo with a Cheshire Cat grin? Wow, I've hardly ever seen him with more than an ironic little smirk. 1. www.flickeringpictures.com - not a hockey site, but still kinda neat 2. Josh Gorges on Montreal's attack: "They're comin', they're comin' and they keep comin'. Just line after line, wave after wave..."

Price can win us the Cup. Halak can win us the Cup. Now its up to the forwards and defense to win the CUP. Believe....

ESPN is reporting Price in nets tomorrow night...."Price never made it to the end, yanked at the start of the third period for Jaroslav Halak. Price will get another shot in Game 4 on Wednesday in Philadelphia. "Cary has proven in the past that he can bounce back and come back really strong," said Montreal coach Guy Carbonneau. "I know he can come back and play really strong."" Personally, I like Price and believe he's the future of this franchise, but would rather see Halak in tomorrow night.

PRICE should play tomorrow! RYDER should play tomorrow! HIGGINS should forget about his misses and contine to play hard!! KOVALEV SHOULD GET MAD TO GET EVEN!! KOIVU should contine to play strong!! SMOKES/BEGIN/KOSTOPOULOS line is clicking, leave it alone! Except Begin should try to shoot lower, his shots are always too high! CARBO NEEDS TO PLAY RYDER! (and maybe wear his Lucky Tie)

Did u hear their chants of A**hole, wow how original, i wish i couldve thought of something as unintelligent as that. --- We ride together We die together Habs Fans for Life!
