I don't only doubt it but I find absurd to think he intentionally tanked.

If this is true, that says a lot about his character and so called leadership, but i don't buy that at all.
Why? BTW, lawyers "throw" cases all the time.
I do think that Therrien had a lot of players had lost faith in the system and coach. They were uninspired and their hearts probably weren't in it to the same extent.
I don't think that Price purposely tried to lose games in order to get Therrien fired. Quite frankly, he knows and so should we that all it would take to get rid of Therrien would be 1 or 2 phone calls from Price: one to Marc Bergevin and, if that one didn't go well for some reason, one to Geoff Molson.
What I do think happened was that Price's "give a damn" level wasn't overly high. He no longer wanted to play for Therrien and even though he did nothing on purpose to play badly his heart just wasn't in it and it translated into his performance.
maybe bad ones do but I have never thrown a case in my life

They "throw" them at times in order to rid themselves of bad cases that are time consuming and don't pay well. You know that happens, don't deny it.
It's ridiculous. How does it work? Price before each game is asking himself
"hmmm, how many goals do I allow tonight?
Should I leave my blocker side open? I did that last night, so maybe I switch it up.
Can't completely screw up my save%. Contract talks start in the summer"
The entire team, Pacioretty aside, went into a slump. Lost their mojo. Needed a spark. It's not the first time it happens, but no, let's settle on a ridiculous explanation. That's the ticket.

I think you took it a little too literally. Lack of focus and concentration in preparing for games carries over into the games. Price lacked focus during the games. It was obvious.
I agree with the above but the way you chose to title your thread is straight out of the clickbait fakenews handbook.
