I’m guessing that Carey Price is a little more proud and a lot more professional than that, so he probably won’t demand a trade after tonight’s 7-1 loss, but you have to wonder what effect this will have on him moving forward. It’s a crushing blow for his confidence, his relationship with his coaching staff, and his statistics. Fortunately for Wild fans, however, we were on the winning end last night, so we’re just going to dance today, as Freddie Mercury sings about Price’s woes. How appropriate is it that Freddie just so happens to be live in Montreal for this one?! Take it, Freddie!
