Carbo's chosen his goalie for Game 5


by Dave Stubbs


Canadiens coach Guy Carbonneau has decided on his starting goaltender – either Carey Price or Jaroslav Halak – for Saturday’s pivotal fifth game of the Eastern Conference semifinal against Philadelphia. He just doesn’t want to reveal his choice to the media.

“I haven’t had a chance to talk to Carey or Jaro. I want to make sure they’re the first to know,” Carbonneau said this afternoon during a conference call that lasted nearly 25 minutes.

The call was in lieu of practice, the coach thinking it more important his team enjoy a day away from the rink. They must win the next three games against the Flyers, over a four-day span, to advance. Only once in the franchise’s history – 2004 against Boston – has that occurred.

Carbonneau also denied speculation Price, who didn’t play Wednesday, is suffering from a hand injury. "Carey Price is not hurt – not his finger, hand, shoulder or knee,” the coach stressed. “He has no injuries.”

HABS LOOK TO PRICE TO STAVE OFF ELIMINATION IN GAME 5


The Montreal Canadiens will look to Carey Price Saturday night to reverse their fortunes agains the Flyers. Montreal trails Philadelphia three games to one in their best of seven series.

"He deserves a second shot," Canadiens coach Guy Carbonneau told the Canadian Press. "I think in the last few days he had time to calm down and refocus and get ready for another long stretch."

After the thrilling overtime win in Game 1, the Canadiens have dropped three straight to the Flyers. Price struggled mightily in Games 2 and 3, giving up seven goals combined.

Carbonneau went with backup Jaroslav Halak in Game 4, but Montreal still lost 4-2.

"It was a tough time, you always want to play, but you have to respect the coaches' decision," Price said about missing Game 4. "I'm just looking forward to getting back in there.

"Hopefully, we can pull off a winning streak."

There were rumours that Price might have hurt his glove hand, but Carbonneau rejected that outright.

"Carey Price is not hurt," Carbonneau said flatly on Thursday. "His finger, his hand, his shoulder, his knee - he has no injuries."

Price's postseason struggles have been well documented of late, as the 20-year-old rookie is 5-5 with a 2.55 goals-against average and .909 save percentage.
