from Allan Maki of the Globe and Mail,
There was talk last season Price was wound too tightly under former goaltending coach Roland Melanson, who wasn’t around the big team as much after general manager Bob Gainey fired Carbonneau and took over behind the bench. Gainey’s super-human tranquility tried to revive Price but the damage was already done.
With Martin in charge and Pierre Groulx as the new goaltending coach, Price has reverted to the demeanour that has always suited him best. His teammates have noted the bounce back.
“Last season there were a lot of downs for the whole team and everyone pointed fingers at him,” said defenceman Josh Gorges, who quickly added, “It’s not easy being a goalie for the Montreal Canadiens. But when he came to camp this year you could tell he was in great shape and ready to go. I think it’s just maturity. It took me three, four years before I understood the little things you have to do and he’s only 22.”
