Did Price get hurt at the pratice this morning? I remember he seemed uncomfortable at one point against Vegas but I cant remember exactly what happened

Yeah he practiced but left the ice early.....so it will be a Niemi show....not good, not good at all.
Let's hope it won't be for too long.

But something tells me that he ain't that injured.....his wife was supposed to give birth to his 2nd child around the Dec. 24th and since it's not happened yet, it might be just that.

 

[David Suzuki]

Just resting Price for the playoffs.

 

[Habaneros]

recall Alzner..Price injury hmm...

 

[De Montreal]

No way they are giving the net to McNiven for one of the two games, though, right? Too bad Lindgren is injured. So look like it will be Niemi for the two game.

Last time he played 2 games in 2 night was in 2016 February 29 - March 1st! Almost two years ago. He lost both game and was pulled out of the 2nd game giving up 4 goals in 30 minutes.

They wouldn't report it as an injury if it was family related, would they? Unless "Lower body" refers to his wife's delivery.

 

[Lshap]

recall Alzner..Price injury hmm...

We have the coolest conspiracy theories.

 

[Habaneros]

Niemi prob plays both games
That tampa game could look ugly

imagine if Nemei gets injured....Lindgren is injured so he ain't coming up...so we got McNevin as our starter....

this Price out for a few games, we have heard it before right..then 2 weeks later then 2 months later..thennnn..lol

 

[OldCraig71]

Price is injured again?

 

[Milhouse40]

They wouldn't report it as an injury if it was family related, would they? Unless "Lower body" refers to his wife's delivery.

Some privacy is needed in Montreal so there's not like 10 reporters waiting outside the delivery room.
Price left the practiced early, then Julien said like 10 minutes later that he'll see if Price is available tomorrow, then another 10 minutes later he said he wouldn't be traveling with the team......normally news don't go that fast in the Habs organisation.

I would bet my paycheck that he's having a baby.

 

[De Montreal]

What's Olivier Michaud up to nowadays?

I knew we should have kept Jason Missiaen.

 

[habdynasty]

Carey on maternity leave for the weekend.

 

[admiralcadillac]

Price is injured again?

No but he has a kiddo coming

 

[Adam Michaels]

Carey on maternity leave for the weekend.

Pretty much what I thought. Isn't his wife due any moment for their second child? He reportedly left practice early. Maybe he got the word she was going into labor?

 

[Habaneros]

Carey on maternity leave for the weekend.

why didnt they just say that instead of LBI....

[Habaneros]

what scares me is the words AT LEAST....2 games

 

[habdynasty]

2 games , Friday and Saturday in Florida. Not surprised.

Because it's not of yours, mine or anyone elses business and privacy for those kind of things is needed.

 

[GSP2018]

Lmfao he is so porcelain. Habs will now get that top 3 pick

 

[beowulf]

Well this will get interesting if he is out for more than a game or two. Niemi now has some real pressure on him for the first time since becoming a Hab.

Whoever wrote that article didn’t do any research. He probably heard Price left practice and ran to his laptop to get an article out quick because Price being injured is a big story due for a lot of clicks. He’s expecting a kid. Doubt he’s hurt.

Edit: There are a ton of reports saying he is hurt. Who knows.

He is injured, indeed. Shaw was absent today from practice and they said it was about family matters. If it would be the case for Price, they would say the same. No big deal. But he is injured. and that sucks a lot !

Who's the backup to Niemi ? McNiven or Lindgren ?

 

[peate]

I bet it's when he fell awkwardly in his net a few games ago.

Lindgren is injured currently...so it's gotta be McNevin

Lindgren won’t be ready until atleast the New Year I believe so I’m guessing it has to be McNiven?

I thought Lindgren was close to come back....
