Lindgren's new backup goalie.
This is funny
Go Habs Go!
I'd say this is more about Montoya than Price. Lindgren isn't backing up Price when he gets back.
I LOVE IT

Didn't someone in another thread try to tell us that Niemi was a franchise goalie because he won a Cup with Chicago? How do franchise goalies wind up on waivers?
When they no longer play behind the likes of Kane, Toews, Sharp, Hossa, Keith and Seabrook, I guess.

That truly depends on your definition of franchise goalie. I can easily argue that Crawford, Quick and Thomas are franchise goalies and Murray might very well become one.

I think he's lumping in elite goalies with franchise goalies.
I think there are 10 elite goalies in the league, 5 of them franchise goalies.
If he wanted to say crawford is a elite goalie, I wouldn't argue that. But if f I wanted to build a team where the forwards are average, the defense is average and you needed a franchise goalie to drag a team into respect ability, I wouldn't pick crawford to do it
He was free? Who cares? And lets be honest, would you rather him play 1 or 2 games or Fucale?
I am, which is why I'm asking what's your definition of a franchise goalie.
I personally wouldn't build my team around a goalie so that notion of franchise goalie is a bit silly to me. The difference between the top goalie in the league and the 15th one is probably around 10 goals a year.
Funny how regular everyday fans like you and me understand that concept, but guys paid millions to manage teams don't....hence throwing 10.5M at a goalie...
Mind you, I also wouldn't have given 10.5M to Toews....even though everyone knows i've been bullish on getting centers for the longest time on this board (and the board before this one)
