If you watched AC tonight, they inflated yet another Carey Price controversy.
It began on Wednesday's show, when they alluded to his lack of smiling and how fans are paying his salary and he always has a long face.
Then, last night, AC ran a video of the post-game salute following the Habs's win over the Devils, where you can see Habs players gathered in the middle of the ice with their sticks up thanking the fans. Right behind them was Price, who chose not to join them and skated straight for the bench, without ever raising his stick or acknowledging the fans.
AC claims that social media is all over this. I'm guessing they mean franco social media? Somehow, the usual suspects are going to be eating this whole, starting with the Journal de Montréal and stains like Reggie Tremblay.
Of course AC already knows why Price isn't celebrating -- they claim that he's sulking over getting booed when his play was horrendous not so long ago. They failed to mention that Price was brutally attacked on several non-mainstream scumbag gossip sports sites, that claimed they had insider knowledge about Price's alleged illicit relationships and about how big a controversy Price was involved in and how people would be shocked when the "truth" came out.
Well, none of that came to pass but not without Price's character getting assassinated and his wife rebuffing the rumors on social media. And so, he's mistrustful now, not as affable or cooperative during media interviews, he gives curt answers, he looks very annoyed. One thing is certain, if AC is the leetch leading the charge, you can bet there will be a groundswell of parrots doing the same and Price would be an easy target with his checkered play this year and that bloated contract kicking in next year.
