Carey Price, One of the Best

Patrice Brisebois, the veteran, putting one where mom hides the cookies for the only goal in the Montreal/Boston game was pretty nice. Good shot, more so stellar goaltending by both sides. Price is phenomenal - it kind of bothers me. Pogge is good and all, but I've seen him get handled live, so I know he's not that composed. Price however is one of the calmest goaltenders I've ever seen in net. His positioning is perfect and he doesn't often give out many rebounds. Good on him. I honestly think (as long as sophmore syndrome doesn't kick in) that he will be one of the best ever by the time he retires. Always the Canadiens with the ridiculous goaltenders - bastards.

I like Calgary as much as a non-Calgary-fan could. I do however need to throw out mad props to my main man Joe Thornton. He finally pots one and in the dying seconds of the game for the win. Great tip, and hard work on the shift - I love it. I was a little (a lot) in the bag last night, so I didn't catch much of the game, but I did see the goal (and of course all the highlights this morning).

Anaheim finally steps up their game and record a "W," but I'm still unsure of my pick there. From the highlights/games I've seen, they seem to be a weaker team. Anyone who says they don't want it as bad is full of shit and should lock him/herself in a closet and never come out. That is the bullshit statement of the century: "They didn't want it as much." Oh, they want it just as much but maybe they weren't as good or lost due to pure probability, or went out drinking the night before, etc. Anyways, Pronger with a pair - good to see, hopefully they can take their heads out of their asses and win this thing.

As for the other two games, Colorado absolutely owned and Philly was dominant. Briere is money and what the shit was Mike Richards doing in that celebration? If anyone knows, drop me a note - that was messed.
