Fans rock the Bell Centre for annual X-mas practice

An excerpt from the Canadiens.com article by Heather Engel who writes about the Habs’ annual Christmas practice which is open to the public:

Known for goofing around during postgame celebrations, Price and Josh Gorges were at it again on Sunday afternoon. In the final moments of the final frame of 4-on-4 action, the netminder and defenseman swapped positions.
“He let in a couple of soft goals. The guys on the bench decided it was time for him to get pulled. I was the only other alternative to back in there,” explained Gorges, who made a nifty glove save on Koivu, despite his minimal goaltending experience.
“He [Gorges] said I wasn’t doing a good enough job so he figured he’d go in there and try and do a better job. I think he was terrible,” deadpanned Price.
Enjoying his time away from the crease, Price went all out, even seeking out Georges Laraque.

“I asked him to go but he wouldn’t go with me. That’s probably a good thing,” he laughed.
