Event - The role of the goalies in the Montreal vs Boston series and Vancouver vs St Louis series.

Point to say - "Can Carey Price save Montreal's season?"
Follow up point - "Do you think Luongo will get Vancouver to the Finals?"
Get out of the conversation - "Is your kid/you playing soccer/golf?"
Backgrounder
The goalies of Montreal (Carey Price) and Vancouver (Roberto Luongo) are the most talked about this round in the playoffs as the highest amount interest in Canada sits with what happens in Vancouver and Montreal (Sorry Calgary).
Carey Price is growing in stature as a recognizable name. He had a great rookie season. Expectations were very high this year for Montreal. The team faltered as did Price (one and the same really). Now that the playoffs have started Price is THE guy that will decide if Montreal stands a chance at taking down the top team in the Eastern Conference.
Luongo is essentially the best goalie playing right now. Yes, you might hear the names of a few others, but Luongo is the most recognizable. Further, his team is playing strong. Combined, he makes Vancouver stand a chance of making it to the Western Conference finals.
