Price Solid in NHL Debut

I waited anxiously all day yesterday for the chance to catch Carey Price's debut against the Penguins and he did not disappoint. He played a rock solid game on his way to winning his regular season debut against the Penguins by a score of 3-2.

He got help from the post at times - what goaltender hasn't - but he made flashy saves look routine and appeared to not even break a sweat during the game. His poise and confidence just emanates forth and at times I wondered if he knew just how many people were studiously watching his performance.

After watching his play during the World Juniors and hearing of his heroics during the Bulldogs Calder Cup run, I couldn't help but be excited. And I'm not even a Habs fan. Once you find out how hard he worked to make his hockey career happen, there should be no way you could not want him to succeed. Except when he plays your team.
