from Herb Zurkowsky of the Montreal Gazette,
“He’s beginning to look more like the player we’ve seen for the first 50 games and not the last 20,” general manager and head coach Bob Gainey said. “I see his body language in goal now and he doesn’t resemble someone who’s always guilty.
“Now he’s part of our team who must play well for us, but not more than the others. Everyone has the same responsibility as the goalie. He’s still 21 and is experiencing things he hasn’t experienced before.”
Price has worked hard with goaltending coach Roland Melanson over the last few weeks. They’ve worked on Price’s leg work and improving the way he tracks the puck, the mandate of playing the position.
“I was starting to lean and guess instead of reacting,” Price explained. “It’s a gift being able to pick up the puck and reading the angle off the stick.”
