Since then, Price has started again, and he didn't look great last night either. I think Halak has earned a chance to be the number one goalie and getting the flu shouldn't be the reason why he lost his job again. I'm afraid they may have damaged Halak's psyche, and he should be the guy getting the starts. You go with who's playing the best and who will give you the best chance to win. I think Gainey might be going with Price because he hand picked him to be the goalie of the future last year, and doesn't want to look bad.Naw, I don't see Gainey having that much foolish pride. I think he's trying to allow Price to find his game and confidence before he hopefully leads them to a long run in the playoffs. As for Halak, ya I think he's earned the right to play.
