, had launched Carey Price in April 2019. The most cunning among you will have noticed that he has aged a year and a half since this declaration and that he has not therefore rejuvenated.
In a few days, the Canadiens star goalie will be 33 years old. Weber, his number one defender? 35 years.
The Montreal organization seemed to have a dilemma before it from the moment Marc Bergevin decided to go into reset mode two years ago and bet everything on the draft. How to reconcile the future of the team which promises to be brighter with its many young people while taking advantage of the excellence of one of the best goalkeepers and one of the most solid defenders of their generation to prevail in the present.
Building this bridge has, at times, seemed impossible. This victory in four games against the Penguins of Pittsburgh at the very least allows us to question the matter.
First, because Price has not seemed so dominant since the start of the 2015-2016 season before his knee injury.
From the start of the series to the conclusion, issue number 31 has never wavered. Evgeni Malkin started it off as a lion with 15 shots in the first two games and a myriad of scoring chances. He ended it as a kitten with the most insipid game of five against five, offenses of spite, a sour complexion and a dejected air, disgusted by the robustness of Ben Chiarot and Shea Weber, discouraged by the excellence of Price. who presented the best stats of his career in a series (1.67 GPA and .947 efficiency).
I saw him at the Olympics and at the World Cup. I’ve seen him at his best many times. At the moment, he is in his bubble. A young team hopes to be able to count on a good goalkeeper. I can say that we have an excellent goalkeeper

, added Artturi Lehkonen, scorer of the winning goal.
There is nothing to say. Here is Carey Price in his bubble in the bubble.
Weber is not left out. The captain averaged 25:53, he had four points in as many games, a +5 rating and completely muzzled the Pens attack which scored six goals, including one in an empty net, in four. exits.
The two tenors sounded the rally and the troops came running. At the front was Nick Suzuki.
At 20 – 21 on August 10 – the pivot was the most used forward by the CH coach with 20:33 use. More than Danault? More than Danault. Six seconds, okay, but more anyway.
We were pumped up before the series because no one was giving us a chance. Surely that was a factor, we all took that with a grain of salt. We wanted to make everyone lie.
His offensive flair gave him a heavy blow to the Penguins in Game 1 and Game 3. But it is his work in defense, his intelligence of the game, his ability to anticipate the opponent’s maneuvers and annihilate them even before they occur, that allowed him to take on these responsibilities.
Since the middle of the third game, Suzuki has inserted himself in the center of Tomas Tatar and Brendan Gallagher. Here he is, for a moment at least, the first cross of the team. Far from being a disavowal to Phillip Danault, who also found himself at the heart of an extremely successful trio with Lehkonen and Paul Byron, this is excellent news for the Habs.
Jesperi Kotkaniemi also made a good impression. Improved, more robust skate, he played with confidence and scored two goals. Julien has never stopped praising him, so much the better, because he embodies, at least as much as Suzuki, the reconciliation of the present and the future.
