A large portion of the hockey-loving population in Montreal let out a big sigh on Tuesday night. Especially worrisome types may still be holding their breath about Carey Price, however.
Many gasped after hearing that Price left pre-game warm-ups early after taking a Paul Byron shot up high.
Video even surfaced of the moment, with Price looking very uncomfortable following the shot. (Byron might have felt uncomfortable too.)
It doesn’t sound like Price is going to miss time because of that incident. Of course, in many cases upon further reflection/once the adrenaline of competition wears off, he might think differently. So we’ll see.
#Canadiens finally come on the ice, very late, led by a slow and seemingly unhappy Carey Price. (Hit by puck in shoulder in warmup.) #NYR

As you can see from the video above this post’s headline, the theme of Habs nearly hurting Price continued during the game, too. Sheesh.
