Neither Carey Price nor Jaroslav Halak has stepped up as the No. 1 goalie in Montreal. Who should it be? THN has some thoughts.

Jaroslav Halak's Agent Points Out Carey Price's Struggles on Twitter, Hilarity Ensues

Sun, 08 Nov 2009 12:15:00 -0500

by Adam GretzFiled under: Canadiens, NHL FansOh Twitter, you glorious and brilliant avenue for information and trouble. Following the Montreal Canadiens' 3-1 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning on Saturday, a game that saw Carey Price take the loss after giving up three goals on 21 shots, Allan Walsh, the agent for Canadiens backup goaltender Jaroslav Halak, created some havoc and controversy on his Twitter account when he pointed out Price's record in his past 42 starts. Predictably, thi...

A real homeboy

MONTREAL – There really is no place like home for Jaroslav Halak. He may hail from halfway across the globe in Slovakia, but the Bell Centre obviously suits Halak just fine. On quite the roll to start the season, the Habs’ goalie...

Red-Light District: A couple of must-have Habs

Fri, 23 Oct 2009 17:32:11 -0500

Jaroslav Halak(notes) is desperately trying to get your attention but you're just not ready to make a new friend right now, apparently (eight percent owned in Yahoo leagues). Halak has two wins over the past three nights (kicking out 43 of 45 shots) and he would have had a shutout Thursday against the Islanders if not for one regretful misplay behind the net. Is it too early for Carey Price(notes) owners to get into a cold sweat? I say no. It will be interesting to see who gets the call S...

Season preview: Jaroslav Halak

Sat, 29 Aug 2009 07:00:00 -0500

MONTREAL - Starter? Backup? As long as he’s stopping the puck, Jaroslav Halak couldn’t care less about what label he’s given in Montreal. Playing 34 games between the pipes for the Canadiens last season, Halak posted the kind...

GOALIE NEARLY BEHEADED BY TEAMMATE

Tue, 05 May 2009 14:32:04 -0500

Total Pro Sports found this clip from ice hockey’s world championships; that’s like the Olympics except they don’t give out medals and nobody really cares. Probably because of the no-medals thing. Anyway, here in the foreground is Slovak goalie Jaroslav Halak taking a stick in the helmet from a frustrated teammate after Halak gives up [...]

Canadiens hope Price is right

Sat, 03 May 2008 11:47:49 -0500

Much to the joy of the Philadelphia Flyers, Carey Price will be returning to the net for the Montreal Canadiens for Game Five tonight. As they face elimination, Montreal coach Guy Carbonneau has chosen to play to 20 year old rookie, who has been extremely shaky against the Flyers, rather than Jaroslav Halak, who was in net for Game Four after Price was benched. The Canadiens are hoping that Price's confidence isn't destroyed by his terrible play and subsequent benching while the Flyer...

In Carbonneau's Opinion, The Price Is Right

Fri, 02 May 2008 20:58:10 -0500

Montreal coach Guy Carbonneau decided to bench struggling goaltender Carey Price and start Jaroslav Halak for game 4 on Wednesday in an attempt to change the Canadiens' fortunes and even the round 2 series with Philadelphia Flyers at 2 games a piece. Instead, he got the same results with a different goaltender and Philadelphia took a 3 games to 1 series lead. After the game, the question for Carbonneau was who would be the starter for game 5. According to TSN, Carbonneau has announced ...

Halak Starts

Wed, 30 Apr 2008 20:57:04 -0500

After three games the next "Patrick Roy" has been pulled. Carey Price has been benched for Game 4 and former Maineiacs goalie Jaroslav Halak steps in. Halak replaced him in the third period in Game Three. The move surprised me because I didn't think the Canadiens would sit Price. I thought he was their go to guy. Price hasn't played well and all of New England saw it when the Canadiens played the...

Wed, 30 Apr 2008 17:47:31 -0500

Comcast Sportsnet in Philadelphia and TSN are both reporting that Montreal coach Guy Carbonneau has decided to bench goaltender Carey Price in favor of backup Jaroslav Halak for tonight's game 4. Carbonneau said he would announce the starting goaltender just prior to the start of the game.
