I have a feeling if kreider or Miller come remotely close to Price, he is going to let them know in his own way to stay the **** away. If it happens it will set the tone for the whole series with a bullseye on their jerseys for Ott and Shaw.

I'm interested in seeing what Weber does in the first few minutes on the ice vs Kerider. I know there are a few here who keep bringing up Weber's performance in last years game 7 vs SJS - but if u watched the whole series Weber was out almost every time Perry was out on the ice, and it was a vicious physical battle between the two, with Perry being on the receiving end of more than the better portion of the physicality.
IMO it's also why Emelin's an important piece of the D puzzle, Weber can't be the only physical presence as he was with Preds last year, too much for one player to bear in the intense playoff environment without wearing down over the course of time/series.

Price already did something similar this season so I agree with you, he could absolutely do it. In fact, if I am price, On the first occasion I jump on the guy that goes on you. Better make this point early in the playoff. First to the league, showing the best goaly has enough, but also to his teamates to let them know they better clean it up in front of him. could be a 2 minute well spent.

Jordie Benn is also a physical presence.

Not sold Benn can play more than 16-17 min per game over the course of a series without wearing down

I agree, i was just saying that Weber and Emelin are not the only two guys who are a physical presence on defence on this roster.

You don't want Price doing that...not only will he get a penalty, but it'll throw him off his game.

What needs to happen is Ott crashing Lundquist.....trying to defend Kreider/Miller from crashing Price won't work until we crash their goalie also. Then the refs will have a talk with both coaches.

I say take out Kreider's knee

Every round, someone will try to run Price....Sens-Bruins-Columbus won't be nicer

Run the other goalie, then the message is sent to the rest of the league

won't matter, you have us out this round anyway

I have no problem in the least running other goalies but I want Kreider's head on a platter a la John the Baptist. Granted we have had three years to do something to him and haven't.
 
Apparently we are going superstious re the anthems, Sara Diamond for the yank one and Ginette Reno for our's like in our 2014 semi final run.

LAst I check, Weber plays 22 or so minutes per games which leave us with 38 minutes without him on the ice.
