I remember Carey Price’s first game as a Hab. I did not watch it, but I remember Bob McKenzie saying that Price might have been the most important pick in the 2005 NHL Draft — more important than Sidney Crosby.
Of course, Price made his debut against Crosby. Of course Price won his first game because he is Carey Price, and that is what he does.
I remember his first shutout like it was yesterday. It was an afternoon game against the Philadelphia Flyers and I was watching in my parents’ family room.
