The late 1st and 2nd period goals really hurt


The other three weren't so great either.

If he didn’t make 10 million dollars he would be 100%. Only way Avs would trade for him is with retention and idk if Montreal is willing to retain salary for another 4.5 years.


That's if he asks for a trade, sure. If he becomes available at 50% retention I think the package would be worth retaining. There are a bunch of competitive teams with shaky goaltending, Colorado being one of them.

And a trade request does not seem out of this world either, rumours are that he's delaying his comeback because of his unvaccinated wife and the super strict Québec measures.

Interesting, didn't hear about that, was indeed wondering why even though he'd returned to Montreal hadn't heard a word since

Absolutely, it’s just such a momentum killer at the end of a period.

Watch with Steve seems to be a bad Omen

As notice almost every game he streams goes bad for us or becomes a stress fest
(Not in order)

Chicago 5-4 W (4-1...)
Detroit 5-4 W (Should not be that close)
Colorado 4-5 L (4-1...)
Minnesota 3-4 L (Shootout)
Buffalo 5-4 W (Rielly saved their ass)
Pittsburgh 0-2 L (Outplayed)
Pittsburgh 1-7 L (Lost to AHL team)
Ottawa 6-0 W (Ottawa was not healthy)
Ottawa 3-1 W (Very Lucky 1 goal waived off for offside)



And yes I am superstitious per culture

His wife posted on Instagram that she likes her "natural immunity", which she 100% has the right to, and the fact that there are 20+ Canadiens currently on the Covid-protocol probably doesn't excite Price.

Yeah they did, but with the lineup we iced tonight if Colorado brought their A game we weren’t going to be able to play with them, and it showed in the third period. No Marner and Kase really hurts, even no Engvall hurt tonight as he would’ve sured that 3rd line up a bit defensively. I know blowing a 4-1 lead sucks but to get out of there with a point wasn’t the end of the world.

I don't care about what their fans say, Carey Price would be a tremendous addition for them.


Price is a solid playoff goalie and is what they need

I know they came back but 3 goals on 9 shots. How confident should Avs fans be on Kuemper

And Avs probs gonna go up against Vegas with Eichel in round 2 so that aint gonna fly. But then again Lehner has been streaky to so who knows

High scoring series anyone?

Just spitballing here...

Colorado Avalanche
Price, Carey ($5,250,000 retained)
Lehkonen, Artturi
Kulak, Brett

Montreal Canadiens
Barron, Justin
Compher, J.T.
Francouz, Pavel
2023 1st round pick (COL)
2024 2nd round pick (COL)


And it works cap-wise too in the ACGM draft I made that I won't post because of the angry Avs fans.

What do you mean? You mean he would be sent to the Habs in exchange? Well idk then. They're not contending and he would likely not be re-signed. I think they're confident burning Allen to the ground next season too.

Well, Producer Drew will be happy (especially since now he got revenge for that 8-3 debacle in December, can't wait for LFR tears of joy tears of joy )
