Quoting: Chopper02
Not saying he was at his best every game. But when MTL needed him he was excellent (minus games 1-3 against Tampa). He also waived his NMC because he knew Seattle was never going to take him (who would take a goalie making over 10 mil in hid 30s).
His defense was okay, it wasn't great. Wasn't the best team defense either. Trust a Blues fan here when I say they wouldn't have made it to the finals with Allen. There's a reason he always lost the starter job.
His wife disagree's with that take
She wrote about what she had to deal with during that time
They knew it was a real possibility
Carey was less convinced but she was not
She touched more on this after Price entered the Program
Citing Anxiety caused from that debacle as something that weighed on her
Before championing her husband for seeking help
Follow Angela Price on Twitter
She talks a lot more then most hockey wives are usually allowed to online without getting scolded
As far what STL fans know
They also know they'd never make the finals without Allen either
They had a fresh goalie go in and take over with a starter on back up
Look at their lack of success and just making the playoffs to exit them since
MAF had it happen to him with Murray
Crawford with Darling
Quick with Bernier
Lunqvist with Talbot
There's always a Goalie who gets over payed after playing Tandem with a great Goalie
Where are all those Goalies after their paydays?
More importantly who did most of those teams keep and have success with 3/4?
STL made the wrong choice
Nothing but 1st round exits since their cup
Allen is fresh off another SCF with a team
Allens a Tandem Goalie and Knows it building up whomever he plays with making them better.
Binnigton is still trying to be a Starter solo
