from Pierre LeBrun of ESPN,
Is there a better story right now in the NHL? Price has won over a market that spent the summer lamenting the loss of playoff hero Halak, and it’s nothing short of remarkable. A lot of these fans were ready to pounce on Price seven weeks ago. The pressure was high entering this season.
Looking at it, you can’t picture a situation where there could be more pressure on an individual,” Jerry Price, Carey’s father, told ESPN.com via phone Tuesday from Williams Lake, B.C. “But I think for Carey, looking at the situation and seeing that, he just realized it is what it is. He’s grown up and matured. One of the big differences in Carey is the realization that all he can do is go play. There’s just so many things that are out of his control. He can only do what he can do. It’s been better for him this year.”
The 23-year-old Price had zero wiggle room when the puck dropped this fall. He was replacing the most beloved Habs goalie since Patrick Roy. There was only one way to the fans’ hearts: winning.
