Habs general manager Marc Bergevin fully supports Carey Price, but wants him to be better next year.

Price has all the talent in the world, but the 25-year-old remains very inconsistent. He had a 2.59 goals-against average and .905 save percentage in the regular season, while posting a 3.26 goals-against average and .894 sve percentage in the playoffs. "Can Carey be better? He'll be the first one to admit he can be better and he said he will be better," Bergevin said. "I have faith in him that he will be better. He had some good stretches and he had some so-so stretches. And that's part of being a young goaltender and we're going to move forward with him and I'm 100 percent behind him."

Team doctor Vincent Lacroix told Carey Price that his injured knee wouldn't require surgery.

According to Lacroix, Price should be full recovered in about six weeks. "Right now, I've just got to wait it out," Price said. "I was fairly healthy for the course of the season. Toward the end, I was a little bit more sore and I had a few things going on from the previous year. Hopefully, over the course of the summer, everything will be back to normal." Price wouldn't rule out having a procedure of some kind during the off-season, but he expects to be fully healthy in time for training camp. He will work hard to get ready for the opportunity to possibly represent Canada at the Winter Olympics.

When Carey Price spoke to the media Saturday, it didn't sound like he was enjoying himself very much these days playing in Montreal.

"That's one thing I miss, just being anonymous," he said. "It's tough to do that here. It's impossible. I don't even go to the grocery store anymore. I hardly do anything anymore. I'm like a hobbit in a hole." His struggles in April and his shaky play in the postseason probably added more fuel to the fire. There's a great deal of pressure to play in goal and playing in Montreal certainly adds to that. Jack Todd of the Montreal Gazette believes the Canadiens should talk to their number one keeper to make sure that he is committed to the organization for the long haul.

Montreal Canadiens goalie Carey Price confirmed his knee injury, saying it would've been of the 4-6 week variety if the Habs' postseason continued.

Considering the drop-off from Price and every other option include Peter Budaj, it's not very surprising that the Canadiens didn't see more than a week of playoff action without Price. This serves as a highly disappointing finish to the 2013 campaign for Price - the regular season ended poorly, too - but he remains a top fantasy option in net nonetheless.

Carey Price had an MRI on his lower-body issue Wednesday and the results clearly weren't good, as he has been ruled out for the remainder of Montreal's first-round series against Ottawa.

He was hurt late in Game 4 Tuesday night and now the Canadiens will turn to backup Peter Budaj with their season on the line. Price hadn't been playing at his best in the series, with an .894 save percentage and a 3.26 GAA, but this is obviously a significant blow to Montreal.
