Carey Price may not play in the NHL All-Star game
Montreal Goaltender Carey Price,(Who was voted into the Eastern Conference's starting lineup), did not skate at the Easterns team practice in Brossard on Wednesday."If Price doesn't play a game before the break, I will recommend that my goalie skip the game."Guy Carbonneau told TSN.ca."He's an intelligent person and I hope he will have that in mind," Carbonneau said. "It's his decision. If he can't be on the ice this weekend and can't be part of a game on Tuesday or Wednesday, I don't see why he would play in this game - re-injuring his leg and be out another month."Carey Price hasn't been skating hard but he's been Skating lightly.I think this is good news for the Canadiens and the Eastern's allstar team.
"He tried to skate yesterday and it was sore," Carbonneau said. "So he went to see a doctor. It's a little setback. He's going to be off another couple of days - until Saturday or Sunday - and we'll re-assess at that time. It changes our plans a little bit, but there's no use for him to come back and re-injure the leg. We're going to have to be patient and wait." The All-Star Game will be played in Montreal on Jan. 25.More news on the Canadiens captain Saku Koivu,he's been Skating hard and will possibly play on Saturday against the Senators.
