Below is an excerpt from the TSN article and video regarding Carey Price great start to the season and how his chances of being voted the starting goalie for the Eastern Conference All-Star team are very good…….he’s got my numerous votes once the voting starts on November 12th and ends on January 2nd, with or without a healthy Martin Brodeur!!
With perennial All-Star Martin Brodeur out for the long haul, the time is right for a changing of the gardien.
But Montreal’s sophomore goaltender Carey Price needn’t worry about enough support, as Canadiens fans are sure to stuff the ballot box in anticipation of their city hosting the NHL All-Star Game in January.
“I’ll probably vote for myself a few times,” Price joked with reporters on Wednesday. “I don’t know how many times I can vote for myself, but I’ll probably have a lot of support for myself back home.”
If anything, it’s Price’s strong play through the first month of the regular season that’s building his case for the starting spot. His 2.17 goals-against average is seventh in the league and he’s fifth in save percentage at .928.
