My father is a fan of the Toronto Maple Leafs. And it’s because of that that I vividly remember the first time I saw Carey Price play a regular season game live.
It was December 4 in Price’s rookie year, 2007-2008. The visitors that night were the Detroit Red Wings, like they were on Tuesday night. But that Red Wings team was much different than the one we are seeing now. The Red Wings were a few months away from winning the Stanley Cup.
The Canadiens that year were not a bad team by any stretch.
