It's Deja-vu all over again. First pre season game and if it's not the media that chastises the Habs, it's the so called "Fans". You know which ones I'm talking about? The ones in the nose bleeds who have no idea what's happening on the ice, because they can't see that far down and need oxygen masks to breathe because of the altitude.The ones who just see a goal go in against the Habs and automatically blame the goaltender. Granted, a couple were weak, but who cares? Everyone is getting their feet wet in the first pre-season game, even the veterans. Cammy and Spacek didn't have a great game either. Where was Pouliot?He seemed okay at first,then nada. So why call out Carey Price? Why are you booing him?
People in Montreal need to realize that the more the media and "fans" become selfish, the more the team and players will not give a shit about you. That was your #1 goalie you were booing, in the first game of the pre-season! ARE YOU SERIOUS??? We all missed hockey, we were all desperate to see the Habs back on the ice and play a game. We all hoped to see a win and a great performance from the start, but that didn't happen.
We were rusty. The rookies were nervous as hell, the vets weren't perfect either.There was no chemistry, at FIRST, but as the game progressed, things got better on the ice.Yet, these "fans" still booed Pricey and cheered when he touched the puck,in what they conjured as a stop.
Get some class people. The media is not the sole reason why high end players don't want to come play for Montreal,you add to that.
Yep. Just as moronic as those Leafs fans the other night booing their team even though they were there for FREE.
ReplyDeleteI swear these idiots are going to run him out of town by Saturday.
They should Stay the F home.. that was so disheartening.. I am embarrassed to call myself a habs fan.. I actually thought I was watching a leaf game.. You freaking booed Roy & Brisebois out of town.. next is Price.. give your freaking heads a shake.. and remove your lips from Marois's Ass!
ReplyDeleteThis whole thing is nuts. So Price had a bad night. Halak had a bad night in STL, too. Price is amazing and these idiots are going to chew on him till he leaves and we're stuck with NO # 1 goalie. Seriously... If you hate Price that much... go worship a Maple Leaf. Va t'en!
ReplyDeleteRant over :-\
I find the fans reaction perfectly normal but it is however a shame that that frustration is taken out on Price. Fans are that are paying from $60 to $400 a pair of tickets are expecting a good show, they want to feel they're getting their money's worth and they were at the end of last season through the playoffs with some of the most exciting hockey we've seen here in years. Then first thing in the post season the organization trades away the player that was one of the most important factors in those exciting games. Frustration sets in and Price is the scapegoat.
ReplyDeleteIt takes balls to be a goaltender in Montreal and if Price has any he'll certainly end up being a great player.
This note from my wife kind of sums things up : ''Tu sais que je n'aime pas Price mais j'ai trouvé dégradante la façon dont le public s'est comporté avec lui. Bob Hartley a raison lorsqu'il dit de tourner nos reproches vers la haute direction. Ce sont eux les premiers qui l'on vénérés et les journalistes ont aussi beurré épais.
To Anonymous,I understand tickets are expensive..I pay for them too.But I have Never ever booed the team on a bad night, or ever.They will have bad games and great games, but you can't boo your starting goalie because he let in a bad goal, in a pre season game.
