I'm not worried at all. Price will be fine, and the habs will come out and play a much better game #4 regardless of who starts in net...
they just need to tighten up on d a little bit, and make better of the good chances that they get at the other end.

I agree.. poor goaltending cannot be tolerated in the playoffs.
If Huet was on the bench then I would agree with you, but starting Halak in a must-win game with your season essentially on the line is down right crazy. By trading Huet at the deadline, the Habs put their chances this spring fully on Price's shoulders, and there's no turning back. What are you worried about anyway, he's been through this once before these playoffs and did just fine. In case you've forgotten, he had two shitty games against Boston but when facing elimination in game 7 he rebounded with a shutout.

Three goals on 11 shots.
Yeah, tightening up on D will help a lot.

Yes, it will, just because they're not allowing a lot of shots, it doesn't mean they're playing the best D either...
they keep screening Price, and i don't care who's in net, they can't stop it if they can't see it...
ease up there big guy, have a drink, go have a smoke. you gotta be cool, this is no time to start panicking, we're not bunch of sens fans now are we?
your negativity will only snowball, stay positive, stay focused, nevermind what went wrong for them tonight, because it's in the past now. as long as they give it a better effort next game, they will be just fine. This is the Stanley Cup playoffs, it's not supposed to be easy.

11 shots against seems to be, well to me at least, a pretty solid defensive effort. i`ll go even further and suggest that carey price cannot suck even half as bad as he has the last 2 games if the habs hope to win this series

Damn. 3-0 doesn't do justice to how close this series has been, but those Pens just keep finding a way to win.

I wish Montreal was up 3-0. It's awesome when your team is the one that's up!
But I guess if your team isn't in it, 3-0 series could be pretty boring. No parity.

I don't follow......a 3-0 series between San Jose and Dallas, or NYR/Pit, or Det/Col would somehow be exciting if the Leafs were in the playoffs?
