Habs fans booing Carey Price

[dash]

Bruins toast him for three goals in the 1st period at Le Centre Bell. Prove those fans wrong, Carey...

 

[puckhead]

good thing the Habs match-up with St Lou this year is a road game.

 

[GagneFire12]

Just a sign of things to come...

 

[dash]

This was supposed to be an exhibition...

 

[mattola]

that gonna be a long long season

Price is in for a very long year. If Halak leads the Blues to the playoffs & the Habs don't make it all HELL is going to break lose in Montreal.

This is why I felt bad for Price when Halak was traded. I figured this was inevitable. Probably would have been the same thing eventually for Halak had Price been the one traded, but might have taken a little longer. I know its not everybody but I really don't like the local Habs fans much. When will they realize that constantly booing their own players isn't going to help anything? Who's going to want to play in that kind of environment? And how can they expect those being booed to regain their confidence? I had the pleasure of meeting Guy LaFleur a few years ago and he told me this is one of the reasons he rarely attends Habs games at the Bell Centre. He said he doesn't care for the new generation of Habs fans at all and that they were much better when he played there.

 

[Dacks]

The price is wrong, bitch!

He's been given the reigns and shits the bed. He'd better be better opening night, do the Habs open at home?

 

[devs30rko]

who cares its preseason? he's just getting his feet wet...


i feel bad for the kid to a degree it sounded like he finally worked his ass off this summer but i've said for years the best thing for him would be to get the hell out of montreal. and i think he knows it.

Yeah because Guy is so supportive of the current Habs players.

Yeah because Guy is so supportive of the current Habs players.

and the fans had so much reason to boo in 1976.

Habs players said after the game that they are tired of the their own fans booing and are getting frustrated by it. Now personally I thought Montreal was insane for letting go of Halak and I've always thought Price while a decent goalie was never as good as him. If the poor guy were to play in any other city he would be much better. Habs fans you need to let up on him. He might act all cool and calm, but one day he's gonna snap and give the ol fork in the eye to someone.

There is absolutely no proof or reason to back that up. Its just a guess. The truth is Price has to play better wherever he is. When a team trades away a popular player and his replacement lets in 4 goals in 8 shots most fans, no matter where they are, are not going to be happy.

I am not a fan of booing ones own players, and think that in 25 other arenas in the league the same thing in a pre-season game is a non-story. Oh well at least hockey is getting close.

Guy just always bugged me because for most the of the time I was a fan he has been an "ambassador" for the team and he never misses a chance to take a shot at the current players or team. Now current fans. What a great ambassador. Guy is no Jean Béliveau, who is nothing but class.

yah the fellow players really rallied around Price which was expected but good to see ... Hal Gill said it's disheartening and it affects the entire team that the fans are booing one guy ... he pretty much said they'd fight the fans if they could (lol)



/hopefully the ripper isnt in the stands

 

[elocomotive]

I have never been a fan of booing players. I just don't think it helps much and know that over the years Caps' fans have certainly gotten on some defenseman who were then traded and went on to Hall of Fame careers.

That said, I was loudly chanting "Fi...re Han...lon" at his last game presiding over the Caps' bench, and that worked out pretty well.

 

[dash]

I don't have a problem with booing an entire team (Flames fans have serenaded the crimson clad lads many a time), but for the home crowd to single out a particular player is pretty rough treatment. Of the highlights I saw, only one of the four goals with a softie by Price, Bergeron burned him with a couple of sweet moves on both of his goals.

Habs fans boo their players, and the players that dont sign with them...basically comes to a full circle.

Carey Price has a quick message for Habs fans: "Relax - Chill out"

I don't see this ending well...

Price tells booing Habs fans to relax - NHL - Yahoo! Canada Sports

It basically all stems from the fact that Toews was not the best player in the Stanley Cup Finals.

This situation is going to be fun to watch all season.
