According to Elliotte Friedman, Carey Price was visibly upset & almost shaking after flubbing on the Habs draft pick name on stage. As he walked down the stairs, a young girl asked him for a selfie & despite what had just happened or how he felt, he didn’t hesitate to take a picture with her.
“In a moment where he was really down, he saw this young fan who wanted a picture with him & there was never a question in his mind that he was gonna take that picture & he did.”
“He looked at me & he said ‘I don’t know what happened to me up there, I just froze…’ I just told him ‘Look Carey, people will move on.’”

Poor guy. The comments I saw on r/hockey about Carey were far worse than anything I saw about David. Very evil and personal remarks.

Can’t say I blame him. I’ve felt like I’m dying inside just for making a joke at a party that goes over like a bomb. I can’t imagine how shitty he felt after that.

This world is fucked. The shit people get excited about on social media is a good reminder how pathetic and twisted so many people are behind a screen. Who the fuck hasn’t had a brain freeze moment in an awkward moment?
Losers. The lot of them.

Carey is gold, pure gold as person.

Kindness is such an important thing to remember in these types of moments.

I mean, people have been disgusting. I gotta say though, I really hope David……..can see how passionate and loving the fans can be in the next few days at the camp

Price is a saint. On that note, Elizabeth Rancourt is a clown.

Sooo do we get a price redemption story next year and get him to annonce the pick again?

Easy for me to say but it really is no big deal. Shrug and move on

What is “almost shaking” even mean ? Even a little movement is shaking. So he felt like he wanted to shake but wasn’t? Friedman felt it ?

That poor David… His dream was finally becoming reality and then it turned into an absolute nightmare.
They fucked up his name, then he had to do a tv interview on his way to the stage while hearing boos, then he said he wanted go back asap to Switzerland to finish school and had to retract 10 minutes later. Then his new boss said on live tv that he was good but not THAT good, then…
It should have been devastating.

CP is a better person than ALL OF YOU!

He got so used to only be called “Carey” that he forgot people also have a surname!

Entirely unlikely theory: big brain Carey knew there was gonna be heat on our new guy David, so he subconsciously took one for the team and made himself go viral to take some of the heat off David.

Friedman is such a shill. This is bought and paid for by his agent like almost everything Friedman says. This isn’t a story. Why would Price ever say no to an autograph while cameras are around just because he recently felt embarrassed. This isn’t about whether Price is a decent 1v1 person or not. I’m sure he is. This is just about how pathetic Friedman is.

That’s because Price is class. Consummate professional.
