Recalled/Assigned: Cayden Primeau/Otto Leskinen to Laval (April 14th)

[Habs Halifax]

He didn't look good before the game, or that's just his new look? He looks lost,not focused, easily distracted. Juts has not ''looked'' like his usual self if that makes any sense.

I think the mental part of his game is not where it needs to be. It's a concern but I'm not going to overact to it. His confidence is not in line with his skills IMO. I'm a Price fan and I think he figures it out.

Anybody know why he left practice early yesterday? I recall seeing that yesterday but didn't read into it. And is this related to him staying in Montreal today or did something else happen in the game last night?

Hope it's not groin. That can linger on

 

[MarkovsKnee]

WTH happened to Price this time?

Probably a pulled hamstring. It was obvious he injured something on a play vs Oilers.

Hopefully, it's a day-to-day thing, but this was definitely not unexpected.

Allen will play. Lindgren back-up. Primeau taxi.

With Gallagher out, have to wonder if they add a forward too.

 

[HuGo Burner Acc]

If Allen continues this level of play for the rest of the season, there is no way Seattle passes up on him I would imagine. A fringe starting goalie at $2.875M for two years?

It's gonna be Vegas all over again. Teams will pay them via picks/prospects to take undesirable contracts/unwanted players. I could see Habs giving Seattle a 2nd and a B level prospect to take Byron

That would be sweet if we can pull that off. However, it comes down to what Seattle is after to build there roster and if they got their eyes on Allen, it will be hard to move them off. Comes down to what other goalies are available.

Overreaction is our shtick here though

Did a groin once and it lingered about a year,mind you not comparable medical attention.

That’s why they got Allen, he can handle the job. Allen can carry the workload no problem.

Unless they need to pay to protect Jake Evans, they just need to sit back and lose Edmondson, Chariot or Allen.

These are all replaceable, veteran players with cap hits we can afford to lose.

 

[BarracudaMtl]

Hopefully Price isn't seriously hurt

Hope is ok for the playoff... but imagime both Gallagher and Price on LTIR.

Agreed. If we make no more moves, I think we protect Edmundson and expose Chiarot and Allen. If I was Seattle, I think I'm taking Allen. Evans is on the fringe of consideration but doubt they do that.

I agree that we are well situated to loose whoever.

 

[Mrb1p]

I think it happened during the game.

He got injured early in the 1st period

Obviously he did, we all saw it, why didn't Ducharme pull him ? Its going to be fun to see Price out 6 months again because little Dom didn't have the balls to tell Scarey he wasn't playing injured.

[salbutera]

He was able to stand back up which should indicate it’s not the knee, more likely groin pull

 

[TrapGod Jr]

I dont know why you guys are talking about Lindgren. Clearly, Allen will get the start but if he doesn’t perform I’d put Primeau instead of Lindgraine. In my mind its a no brainer.

Yeah Lindgren is just a spot filler. He hasn't played in how long? They're not going to just throw him in cold

 

[angusyoung]

He wouldn't have finished the game if it was serious.

This is why they got Allen.

It may not have been serious at the moment but may have exacerbated it during the two pad stack. Adrenalin can carry for a length of time but when it runs out is when you feel the trauma.

I just don't think they would have left him finish the game if there was any concern.

He's staying in Montreal to receive treatments, so that tells me it's probably muscle related - looked like groin strain/pull to me.

Which would explain how he finished the game.

But I guess we'll know more in coming days, maybe even this afternoon given Ducharme unlike his predecessors isn't shy about divulging the nature of injuries.

Looks like the same injury he had years ago and was never the same since.

If Price said he was good to go,would they still pull him? only Price can say if he could play or not.

Stop

 

[angusyoung]

I think it happened during the game.

Not during extracurricular activities?

 

[BLONG7]

He stayed in the game, played the 3rd guys....can't be that bad? A game or two off, and back at it?

 

[angusyoung]

Stop

Now you sound just like the cops

 

[WeThreeKings]

Well it depends.. I was able to finish playing my games with a f***ed up meniscus but the next day, I couldn't bend my knee.

Rolling your ankle looks a lot like breaking it

 

[nhlfan9191]

I’ll be honest. $15 million is a lot to have tied up in goaltending but it’s kind of nice to not feel panicked at the announcement of a Price injury.
