Hopefully he gets sorted out whatever he’s got going on in his personal life. All the best thoughts to him, it takes courage to step up and ask for help.

Whether it’s addiction issues, mental health, or a combination of both I’m glad he’s asking for help.

 

[LOFIN]

Didn't see that one coming

 

[Alicat]

Wishing him all the best

 

[VVP]

Get well Carey.

 

[Joel Ward]

Hats off to Carey for accepting that he's not in a good place and pursuing self improvement and support. Wish him all the best, a true Canadian legend!

 

[Not The One]

Last Habs player I would have expected. Sure, he has problems with consistency on the ice sometimes but he always seemed cool and collected outwardly.

 

[MasterDecoy]

holy shit this offseason, man

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Wishing him all the best.

seems like a very good guy and does a lot for indigenous communities

 

[TJHKY]

All the best, Price.
Whatever takes you, just fight it. You will back, legend.

 

[The Devilish Buffoon]

Good for him. Wishing him all the best. One of my favourite players ever and a great guy off the ice.

 

[HugginThePost]

Perception is not reality......

.......wishing him all the best.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Good for him. Players are people too.

 

[Colezuki]

Wtf........
Edit: Good for Carey getting the help he needs whatever it is but man this came out of nowhere

 

[542365]

Good luck, Carey. Wish nothing but the best for that guy.

Terrible news. Its horrible for Price personally, which is obviously most important, but it also hurts Team Canada if he's unable to get back to form for the Olympics. What a day. What a day. Get better soon, Carey.

Feels like that’s often how it goes

 

[PK Soupcan]

I wonder if he had a heart-to-heart with Drouin which convinced him to deal with his own issues. Here's hoping more players find the courage to face theirs.

 

[Dr Pepper]

Wishing him all the best as he goes through this.

Carey is a class act, I hope whatever he's dealing with everything ends up well

 

[flying v 604]

Health is obviously paramount but if he's out long-term what a waste of money and picks this off-season. The habs had one slim scenario to make the playoffs and he was it.
Allen gonna get shellacked behind that d group.

Is players assistant program for mental health issues, substance abuse or either or?

 

[Satoru Gojo]

Price is a class act and one of the stars of the game, certainly wish him all the best going forward

That said this will hurt Montreal significantly

 

[Gee Wally]

Wish him all the best whatever it is.

as far as i understand it, its for anything he would need help on
