Is The Price right?


Ever since returning from an ankle injury on January 20th, carey Price has not been the same goaltenders. In the 7-2 lose to the Oilers, Carey Price gave the puck away several times. The worst one was when the Oilers went up 1-0, Price made a save then he played the puck right to Andrew Cogliano who put the puck in the empty net."Going through games like this and having to go through the toughest part of your career is only going to make you better," Price said at practice Thursday following one of the worst Canadiens performances of the season in Edmonton. Price did not speak to the media after he was left in net for all seven goals during a 7-2 blow-out lose to the the Oilers last night. The last time a golie was left in goal when giving up more than 5 goals was in December of 1995. It was Patrick Roy he allowed 11 goals in a 11-1 lose to the Red Wings.(He was later traded to Colarado who won the Stanley Cup later that year)

Price accepted the blow-out as a part of the game and had no thought in mind to make an issue out of being left in net for all seven goals by Montreal Coach Guy Carbonneau."It was good in the end to tough it out," Price told reporters Thursday. "Games like that are either going to make diamonds or make you fall apart.I know that I'm not as fragile as I thought I was and I know that I can get through this. Without a doubt it has brought my work ethic up even more." Price hopes that he will not get traded like Roy did in 1995.

Nobody at Lordstown had applied wood-grain film to a car since the Caprice wagon in 1969, and it was nearly impossible to apply to the Vega body contours at 100 bodies per hour without wrinkles and tremendous scrap of the material. Wood-grain was pulled from the production schedule, and they called in an expert from Schlegel, the wood-grain film supplier, to refresh everyone skills and show them how to do it at their high line rate. He set up shop in the company car garage, and alternator for sale trained a team of twelve people six from each shift on three wagons they sent through the system on purpose without the film installed. Everyone picked up the techniques, and they put wood-grain back in the schedule the next day and ran with no problems. The normal Chevrolet Broadcast Sheet (referred to today as the uild Sheet) was an 8-1/2 11 printed form,
