Yesterday in Montreal the Canadiens signed 2 goalies first it was Curtis Sanford and now it's Alex Auld. Auld was signed to a 1 year $1 million dollar contract.Auld is expected to back up Price next season."Their offer came along right away and the situation was an ideal one for me," said Alex Auld. "I'm really happy to be playing Canada again and to work with a young goalie like Carey. My wife and I jumped on this opportunity." Auld played 24 games last season with the Stars and had a record of 9-7-3 with no Shutouts. But now it's time for the big question. With stats like these Montreal fans will expect a lot more from him and if he cracks down under the pressure he will not be in Montreal for very long.
But Sanford said that he can deal with the pressure and it won't be an issue."The pressure is always there on any goalie in Montreal regardless of what the team accomplished this season," said Auld. "There have been such legendary goalies who have guarded this crease over the years that there are almost no goalie numbers to wear here! It really is a unique position in the world of sports." But enough talk and lets just let him play and he'll do fine next season.
