It’s the simple mental shit thats getting him right now - like the duffer goal he gave up late to Tkachuk a few games ago. There’s nothing wrong with him regarding mileage or injury or any of that crap. He’s not focused. That may well be the contract for a number of reason. But the problem isn’t his health at all.
Without knowing the situation, mental mistakes can happen when fatigued. Which can happen if a "chronic" injury is present. I think we all know how much harder it is when going up stairs with arthritis. I'm not saying arthritis or anything, but maybe an injury in the past has come to the point where it won't heal, and now Price is compensating for it. Are his muffins of goals happening later in the game? Is there any type of pattern surrounding his goals against where it's after he moves a ton?
I've watched games and I can't say I've been able to pinpoint this, but I haven't watch enough games.
