Carey Price Waves Goodbye To Canadiens Fans

Total Pro Sports - If you missed the game last night, the Montreal Canadiens were swept by the Boston Bruins in the first round of the 2009 NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs.

In the second period after the Bruins took a 4-1, Canadiens goaltender Carey Price had a Patrick Roy moment and waved to his hometown fans as they cheered sarcastically that he made a save.

"Oh, Patrick Roy moment for Carey Price!!!!!!" Said the announcer

Back in 1995 in his final game as a Hab, Patrick Roy allowed 9 goals in an 11-1 loss to the Detroit Red Wings and waved to the crowd as the fans cheered when he finally stopping a puck. After he was pulled he walked over to Team President Ronald Corey who was sitting behind the bench and told him he was done as a Canadien. Patrick Roy was then traded to the Colorado Avalanche and that same year went on to win the Stanley Cup.

So where does this leave Carey Price and and his future with the Canadiens? They have another good goalie in Jaroslav Halak who many think should have been in since game three in this series. Is Carey Price done in Montreal? He showed he can act like Roy, but will he ever be able to play like him?

I think he will still be in MTL next season. Just want to point out to the article’s author. Roy did NOT go on to win the Cup the next year with Colorado. That was his last game in MTL, he was traded about a week later and went on to win the Cup with the Avs THAT SAME SEASON.

You make him lose all that weight and he never gets used to it. Carey, sign with the Oilers and eat some “Prairie Oysters”… get that meat back on

Really, the Habs should never have traded Huet when they did last year. Price is still pretty young, and he needed a veteran guy backing him up. Score one goal, it’s not your goalie’s fault when you lose…

I agree with Crowbar, he was too young to be thrown into that kinda cauldron. He’s still got a bright future, if this year didn’t shatter his confidence.
