The Collapse In Montreal

from Jack Todd of the Montreal Gazette,
This is not a slump, folks. Not a bad stretch. It’s a collapse, pure and simple. A team-wide, catastrophic reversal of play over a stretch which encompasses more than a third of the season and which cannot be explained away by the loss of Robert Lang on Feb. 1….
But the really critical problem is with Carey Price. Price is flopping around like a seal that is a couple of flippers short of making the circus. Price was weak on the second and fourth goals against Ottawa Thursday, but his reaction on the second goal the Rangers scored Tuesday was downright frightening.
He threw both hands to his head, covering up like a guy who has just learned that he’s under a falling piano.
Like all sports, hockey is a game of confidence, and Price’s confidence is somewhere down around his ankles.
