TORONTO -- During?Carey Prices Hart Memorial Trophy season for the Montreal Canadiens?two years ago, a rival coach said he felt like his team was already a goal down to the Habs before the puck even dropped -- because of No. 31 in the opposing net.That intimidating force is back. Price, 29, is healthy and as good as ever.Hes in a league of his own, I think, when it comes to any player,?Toronto Maple Leafs?center Tyler Bozak said this week of Price. Its just incredible what he can do. There is a little bit of an intimidation factor. Hes a guy who, when I come down one-on-one, its very tough to beat him. Ive talked to guys who have played with [Price], and they say they cant even score on him in practice.Hes just a guy you have to know when you go into a game that you got to get traffic, youre not going to score pretty goals, you have to get in front of the net, try to take away his eyes and not let him see it. Maybe bang home some rebounds or get some tips.Or do what the Florida Panthers did earlier this week, when they became only the second team all season to score four goals against Price -- get a few breaks. One of Floridas goals was a knuckler that bounced off the ice, and the overtime winner was a changeup off a broken stick by?Aaron Ekblad.Hey, whatever it takes against this guy.Price sports a .948 save percentage in 11 starts (10-0-1), including a 37-save effort in a 2-1 win over the Leafs on Oct. 29.Theyre rivals, yes, but theres clearly a lot of respect for Price in the Leafs dressing room.I dont want to give him too much credit; theyre our rivals, said Leafs goalie Frederik Andersen with a smile. But when hes on his game, hes pretty much the gold standard for goaltending right now. Just how smooth he is. I came into the league a little bit later and definitely watched him a lot. When youre on your game, thats how you want to look. For me, playing a somewhat similar a style to him, he makes it look easy and thats the goal for goalies. You dont want to have too many highlight-reel saves even though it looks spectacular. Youd rather be in position.It just so happens that the Leafs have a former Habs forward hanging around while he figures out his future. Veteran forward Brandon Prust?--?who played three years in Montreal, including during Prices MVP season in 2014-15 -- said theres no question the star goalie can affect a shooters approach.Hes got that presence back there. Maybe you try too much, you try to get that clear shot when you should just throw pucks on net like you do against other goalies you have success against, said Prust, an unrestricted free agent who is working out with the Leafs. Crash and bang and look for rebounds. Some guys maybe overthink against him when they should just do the same things.Thats what his advice would be to the Leafs players if they ask him about facing Price.All I would tell them is treat it like another goalie, Prust said. Its like when you struggle to score in general. Get back to basics, get shots on goal, go for rebounds. Dont try to overthink it. Detroit Red Wings Gear .
