He's not, though. The Canadiens were never as good as they were playing in October and November, and were bound to slide back even with a fully healthy price. This is yet another instance in a well worn pattern of teams that start incredibly well, only to fade back to the pack over the passage of the season. Only in this case, without the heroics of Price Montreal has plummeted rather precipitously.
