Roland Melanson, who is the current goaltending coach with the Vancouver Canucks, told LAcadie Nouvelle -- a French daily newspaper in New Brunswick -- that Price has been in decline since Melanson left Montreal in 2009. "Carey hasnt stopped deteriorating since I left. Hes all over the place now," said Melanson in a report posted Monday. "At some point, there has to be some accountability in the school yard. The position requires a lot of work and Carey hasnt been consistent. He let things slidee in practice and it caught up to him during games.ddddddddddddquot; Despite finishing the regular season first in the Northeast Division, Price and the Canadiens struggled down the stretch. The 25-year-old was pulled from back-to-back starts and went 2-6-0 in his last eight appearances, allowing 27 goals. Prices woes continued in the first round of playoffs as Montreal was eliminated in five games by Ottawa. Backup Peter Budaj started Game 5 and allowed six goals. Last week the Canadiens fired Melansons successor, goaltending coach Pierre Groulx -- the only member of the coaching staff kept on when Michel Therrien was named head coach for the 2012-13 season.
