Habster:

If the NHL establishment didn’t know about Carey Price’s talent level, they certainly are realizing it now!! As TSN analysis, Pierre McGuire stated during last night’s game, Price is so calm and unflappable, he makes every save look routine and is always square to the shooter. His rebound control was excellent as well as his composure when Boston had some good scoring chances. He is the real deal and makes a great goaltending tandem with Cristobal Huet. Guy Carbonneau and Roland Melanson are bringing him along slowly, not that he needs the slow progression but he is only 20 years old, something we tend to lose sight of due to his maturity and composure on/off the ice.

As I watched the game last night, I never got the impression the Canadiens would lose or Carey Price would give up a “weak goal”, a far cry from how most Hab fans felt watching last season’s edition (especially with Aebischer in net). There is a confidence surrounding this team that is becoming more and more apparent to Canadiens fans, they are playing Carbonneau’s system to perfection.

Here are some game points:
