The Montreal Canadiens won 3-2 against the Chicago Blackhawks in their home opener at the Bell Center on Saturday under the watch of former club star Carey Price.
The latter also received huge applause from the fans in the stands when it was shown on the big screen. After the meeting, the victory leader among the CH goalkeepers wanted to share his appreciation with the fans on the X platform.
“I love this arena! Go Habs Go!,” he wrote.
Price admitted in early September that he was feeling better physically, but that he would probably never play another game in the National Hockey League (NHL) “unless a miracle occurs.”
Richardson remembers
Near the visiting locker room, Luke Richardson, who served as Dominique Ducharme’s assistant during the Canadian’s presence in the 2021 Stanley Cup Final, had good words for the former goaltender after the game.
“He is one of the best goalkeepers I have ever had the pleasure of working with. I’m sure the situation is frustrating for him. He would definitely like to play again, but his body doesn’t allow it. It was nice to see it on the big screen. He deserves all this recognition. »
