<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Eberles_Backcheck</b></div><div>In games 4 and 5 he had a .941 and .967 respectively. His team also scored 7 goals in 5 games. So I don't think you can put all that on Price by saying he "choked" against an absolute wagon of a Lightning team. I don't think anyone was beating that team.

I'm not going to comment too much on the addiction thing. If he's getting the help he needs, theres no reason to just write him off. Lots of players go through issues and come back to finish their careers well. And like I said earlier, a trade is dependent on his health (physical and mental). If he's still nowhere close by March, then obviously theres no deal to be had.

And regarding the stats I posted, it shows he is very consistent in the playoffs, and those stats are his <strong>most recent</strong> 5 years in the playoffs. Besides, if I had posted only 1 or 2 years worth, you could've just argued it is too small of a sample size. I'd rather have a larger sample size that shows consistency.</div></div>

i'm not counting price's w/l in the final. i'm talking about his individual stats, he had a . 3.2gaa and a 888sv. not what you want when it counts the most.

the trade can't be independent of his health because he'll carry the potential of those problems with him for the rest of his career. you have to factor that into the trade.

price is known to play better in the playoffs but he's 34 now and goalie that age have been known to regress too. it's a huge gamble considering the length of his contract. you have to factor that risk into the price as well.
