According to TVA Sports hockey analyst and former Nordiques and Rangers head coach Michel Bergeron, it's over for Carey Price.
In Price's case, it's been too long. If he doesn't play this year, it'll be two years. Last year he played five games, that's not enough to maintain some fitness. You have to move on. Even though the Habs were in the Stanley Cup finals two years ago, we all know they shouldn't have been in the playoffs. But that was the pandemic and a different concept..."
Bergeron says Carey Price would have had too much influence on the team in recent seasons.
"How many years have we been saying, 'the Habs are going to go as far as Carey is going to take them? We've fired five goalie coaches. Since Price has been in charge, he has always decided everything. He decided the fate of Michel Therrien. He's decided the fate of the goalie coaches. Can you have a separate captain? It seems to me that the boat is drifting away.
Wow, he doesn't mince words...
