Halak of an effort against Bruins

Well that was ugly, to say the least. Carey Price let the first goal in at 1:33 on a Nathan Horton wrist shot, and the boos began. Thirty minutes into the game, he’d allowed four goals on ten shots - and that was all she wrote for Mr. Price. He left the ice to more than scattered boos from the Montreal crowd, and all of a sudden things aren’t so rosy after Montreal’s 2010 playoff run. Perhaps more telling than anything? Price did not make himself available to the media after the game

“This will be an interesting camp. I’ve been watching him skate with a number of NHL players. It’s not camp and it’s not game time, but he looks good. He looks real good. Last year he was a ways off, but now I’d say he’s much closer.
“But we’ll see. The Atlanta Thrashers would be thrilled if he could get to this level as quickly as possible.”
-Atlanta Thrashers GM Rick Dudley on Angelo Esposito. More on Esposito from John Mannsso of NHL.com.

Fresh Start For Angelo Esposito

from Mike Knobler of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution,
Angelo Esposito isn’t from hockey’s famous Esposito family, but a couple of years ago he was making a name of his own.
Experts projected him as the No. 1 pick in the 2007 NHL entry draft. A Vancouver Sun story headlined “Is this one the Next One?” said Esposito was “being mentioned in the same breath as Sidney Crosby.”...
So what is he doing this week at a Thrashers player development camp, still probably at least a year away from taking the ice for an NHL team?
It’s a story about frustrated expectations, changing perceptions and a youngster who, at age 19, has been given a fresh start at defining who he is and the player he can become.
