Drama builds as Price skates in full gear, faces shots

On Tuesday, injured Montreal goalie Carey Price took to the ice for the second straight day -- only this time, it was in full gear and he faced shots for the first time since going down with a suspected knee ailment in Game 1.

Intrigue!

From the National Post:

Hours before the Canadiens were to face the New York Rangers in Game 5 of their series, down 3-1, Price was working under the watchful eye of goaltending coach Stephane Waite and an unidentified member of the team’s staff.

He left the ice shortly after 10 a.m., having spent most of his time working on side-to-side movement in the crease. He fielded a few light shots from the slot, but seemed to be testing an injury somewhere in his lower body.

Yesterday, after Price skated for the first time since the injury, Habs head coach Michel Therrien shot down the idea of Price returning for Game 5, saying “he’s not going to play, like I said before,” and that getting back on the ice was “just a part of the rehab, that’s all.”

Following Price’s skate, though, Therrien added a little spice to the building drama...

No Therrien, either RT @DanKramerHabs: Oh Therrien. You sly dog you. RT @ArponBasu: No lines, no d pairs, no nothing at #Habs skate
