News Article: Price Enters NHL/NHLPA Players Assistance Program (Mod warning in post #1)

[NobleSix]

Hope Carey is okay.

Not looking good for the season.

 

[Not The One]

The Flu right Dom? Or was it the knee? Exactly what I was saying the other day with Habs org, Price , lies and secrecy.
Anyways, hope he’s ok and seeking help for whatever it is, is the first step to recovery.

In THIS case the secrecy was warranted, to help Price deal with whatever he has.

Yeah, I highly doubt they'd want to go around announcing he's an addict or has mental health issues.

Idk why fans feel like they deserve to know everything

 

[Alicat]

Bruins fan here. Wishing Carey all the best

 

[sampollock]

Yeah, I mean I doubt they'd want to go around saying he's an addict.

yup

could be mental health though, depression

 

[Habz4]

We broke him

 

[salbutera]

does this mean Price goes on LTIR

Likely

 

[MON4NHLTOR4MLB]

I’m more inclined to assume it’s mental health related but ya never know, just hope he’s okay and recovers fully soon.

Hockey wise, maybe we will get a top 10 pick after all

 

[beowulf]

Well get better Carey. Has to be pain meds from all the injuries and surgeries. Depending how long he is out and how the other goalies hold the fort the season and probably done for.

 

[McGees]

In THIS case the secrecy was warranted, to help Price deal with whatever he has.

Yes but my point was every year it’s something but I agree he deserves privacy for this matter

 

[Tyson]

The pressures he has endured for over a decade in Montreal has to be weighing him down.

Is he the longest tenured starting goalie in Montreal's history?

 

[Goalfield22]

All the best to Price. Hope he gets the help he needs for whatever is ailing him.

Our playoff chances are toast, but I will be cheering the CH on regardless.

 

[Wateredgarden]

He's the last guy I thought would have these kind of problems.

 

[WinterLion]

I'm glad he is getting help. Good for him!

 

[McGees]

Yeah, I mean I doubt they'd want to go around saying he's an addict.

Idk why fans feel like they deserve to know everything

I was talking about all the years of lying about injuries etc, this case he deserves privacy.

 

[Habs Icing]

All the best to Price. Hope he gets the help he needs for whatever is ailing him.

Our playoff chances are toast, but I will be cheering the CH on regardless.

I don't know about that.

As for Price, I hope everything works out for the best.

 

[Justin11]

Shocked. Wishing him all the best and gets all the help he needs.

 

[ArtPeur]

How many players have actually used that program? Feels like it's the first time I ever hear about it

 

[CauZuki]

Wow.

 

[TheYardMachine]

Holy moly this is bad
I hope everything is gonna be okay for Carey and hoping for him for a quick and healthy recover

 

[417]

Never a dull moment...it's been hit after hit since the end of the Cup run.

That being said, I hope Carey Price gets help with whatever issues he's having.

 

[Tripledeke333]

1. I hope he gets the help he needs. From a hockey standpoint, we are f***ed this season.

   
   Im glad Price is taking care of himself and hope he gets well.
   
   However, I think we are okay. Price is more of a playoff goalie anyway. Tbh him being on LTIR until the playoffs would be ideal for the team. Jake Allen is a good season goalie.

Good lord. You're actually upset that the head coach was protecting his star player's privacy? It's not his job to communicate those details to the public.

I’ve already said in other posts that every year the org covers up about other things like injury severity but in this case of course he deserves privacy

Jake Allen played like crap when he became the starter in the 2nd half of the season. The defense was already bad too.
