• Jack Todd: Price still has a way to go to be Habs' greatest goalie

  28-10-2018 20:50 via montrealgazette.com

  Carey Price did just that Saturday night in Boston, when he was handed an early lead, with the quick-skating Canadiens driving the Bruins back on their heels and then letting Price slam the door as he passed St. Patrick.

  At the centre of this could be almost any product.
