Rolling the Dice on Carey Price!
Talk about shockers. The Canadiens trade of Cristobal Huet to the Capitals seemed to come out of nowhere. In many ways however, it makes sense. Huet is no spring chicken. He will turn 33 in September. He is also an unrestricted free agent as of July 1st. He has also been inconsistent at times this season.
That said, Montreal is certainly taking a risk in handing over the starting goaltending duties to rookie Carey Price. Sure he is poised. And everyone who knows anything about hockey will tell you, he has talent. But it is a tall order for an untested first-year goaltender to lead his team in a playoff run.
It has been done before. Tom Barraso, Ken Dryden and Cam Ward come to mind immediately.
The Canadiens are banking it can be done again.
I wish them luck. I for one, would like to see them prove the Price is right.

I seem to recall that the Habs have played rookies in the playoffs before with painful memories of their success, in particular one Steve Penney....Bruins fans still smart over his performance....
