Stephane Waite on Carey Price “He had tears under his mask, he thought fans didn’t like him anymore”

[PuckSeparator]

Wtf... I remember when MB made mention of how he had to reassure Price that people liked him at his season end presser (said more or less the same thing as this), I thought this was one of Bargainbin's usual bullshit lines that he comes up with in the heat of the moment cause his brain is too small to come up with any type of creative excuse that makes sense.

But if true... does Price need some serious sports Psychology? Your job, when you're paid 10.5 million, is to be at the top of your game day in day out no matter what. If this is true, this is utterly pathetic and embarrassing for the guy that's supposedly the real leader of this team (and whose face is plastered all over the Bell Centre).

the 10.5M is too much, but it's manageable if they build the team the right way going forward.

moving on from Pacioretty (assuming 7M+), Shaw, Alzner, Schelmko would save $18M. Another $15M is available if you consider Johnny Capspace and Plekanec's departure.

Max could land a couple of core pieces to go along with the #3 pick. Add prospects and picks. The team needs more players on ELCs and cheap bridge deals. A couple of years down the line, when there's a bit of organizational depth, fill needs with trades and free agency.

The 10.5 will hurt if they keep adding overpriced vets.

The 10.5 only hurts until the cap rises, which it will definitely do once Seattle's expansion fee checque clears.

"The $10.5M cap hit is too much!"
*one post later*
"We have a shot at Tavares because we have $12M in cap space available!"

FUNNY, top goalie in the world, as well he has carried this team for ever, becuase MB could never find scoring,
and fans are upset with up,

so fickle fans are,

Okay Yoda.

Actually that's all I wanted to say.

 

[puckeater]

...sometimes I feel like Habs fans do not deserve a winning team. The guy has a personal off year with a crap team in front of him and a fool for a GM who denied accountability mid year, then the French media jump on his back with made up rumours of marriage issues to blame. No wonder the guy felt unwanted and beaten down. This is not brain-dead Evander Kane we're talking about here.

 

[Spring in Fialta]

I don't care if you're making 50k or 50 millions, 21000 booing you is something none of us here will have to deal with so I'm not going to condemn a man for being shook by it and tell him to toughen up.

 

[Gravity]

I was jesting a bit.

Seriously though, money is far from the pursuit of happiness, but alas, it helps to leviate a good deal of worries that ordinary folks have to deal with.

As for my dog, she was amazing. I miss her still, 30 months going now:




If she was still here, she'd probably wave hello at you



And then she'd probably laugh at the fact Price had an emotional booboo



I like Price btw.

Mine looks very similar. Beautiful dog

 

[Habs]

Some stars/millionaires SEEM to have it all, yet take their own lives...

Gotta love some of these ignorant comments.

I'm not talking about all stars though, am I Dr Phil? Try and stay on point.

 

[Per Sjoblom]

Bro, my golden died last summer. 15 yrs old. I feel you.

She was beautiful. My boy is 14 in October. I will be destroyed when he passes.

 

[David Suzuki]

Look you don't need to care about Price's mental condition but if you have shite views just keep them to yourself. The psychology of a person is nothing to mess with or joke around about IMO. I'm sure I have been guilty of it before too but it really isn't a good thing to joke about.

I feel you don't like us anymore. I am getting too emotional, I think I need to stop working for a while.

 

[ThaDevilGirl]

He needs a big hug.

I volunteer.

If you can’t handle the pressure and the adversity, retire back to Anahim Lake. Saddled with an 84 million dollar contract on a guy clearly on the downside of his career. This is worse than when Mike Milbury signed Rick Dipietro to a 15 year contract.

 

[Bring Bak Damphousse]

The hate Price is getting right now is unbelievable, but not surprising when it comes to hab fans. This fanbase would turn on Beliveau if given half a chance. The contract is awful, as was his play this season, but this guy has carried a shitty team for most of his career, hasnt he earned some leeway? Maybe the 70 games a season he’s been forced to play to keep us competitive for half a decade finally wore him down. I still think he’ll be back in vezina form next year.

So you are saying he is on the downside of his career? He needs to earn his paycheck. What he did in the past is commendable but his play last season was embarrassing. No slack. Perform or leave

 

[Runner77]

WHO CARES????

Most players NEVER get a chant like that in their ENTIRE CAREER!!!!.....Spoiled much??

This is why he has EARNED the name Princess Price!!!

 

[417]

I don't know why Waite felt the need to share the details of this intimate conversation he had with Price...especially now, what's the point?

season is long done...why the F is the goalie coach talking about private conversations he's had with his star pupil?

 

[jackeymoon]

Awwwwww poor baby. He's upset that his 10.5 million dollars over 8 years wasn't well received. Gee I wouldn't want that much money if it meant some fans didn't like me, o no sir!

 

[jackeymoon]

He's a bloody multi millionaire. If he has issues, he has MORE THAN ENOUGH resources to sort them out. He's just being a spoiled baby. I don't even get why he deserves so much respect; he's not even the best goalie in the league/has never and will likely never win a Cup and is the most over paid player in the league (no other player gets 10.5 Million for playing 55-60 games). The only time he won anything was because he was behind the best D unit this country has ever produced. Give me a freaking break.

I can't speak for everyone...but i've never wanted or expected transparency.

Some things I don't want or need to know, this is a perfect example of things I don't need to know.
