Game 3 tonight. Go Habs Go !!!!  Calisse Tabarnak....  (do not try to translate this - typical Quebec curse words LOL)

Yeah I had to look it up LOL, very colorful, also many meanings to it apparently.

Good game so far, tied at 3 heading into the 3rd.  I don't watch the Habs often, but in these few sample games I've seen them hang Price out to dry a few times.  He's an awesome goalie, and has been for a long time, but any goalie needs support from the defense and center on those unavoidable rebounds. 

The Flyers did that for damn near a decade, which is why they went nowhere come playoff time, if they even made it in.  

Philly sports media is notoriously brutal, but most of the self-titled hockey experts don't know what they're talking about.  They blamed the decade-long carousel of goalies for the Flyers' performance.  There's no such thing as a bad goalie in the NHL, they're there for a reason.

A lot of times, when you watch the replay of a goal, you'll see that guy coasting to the net instead of skating, or you'll see that defenseman just standing there puck watching instead of picking up the open guy next to him.  A lot of that comes down to coaching, but I will say, you're more likely to see a bad defenseman in the NHL than a bad goalie.
