Carey Price will not participate in the 2019 All-Star Game on the recommendation of the team medical staff.

 

“Carey has had a nagging injury for some time, and we want to make sure to have him healthy and rested for the second half of the season.”

Montreal May end up without a representative at the ASG as a result. Unless Weber wins the “Last Man In” vote

He seemed fine to me last week. :mad:

 

Does anyone know if this spares him the suspension Ovi is getting?  Obviously, if you're injured and can't play, it's a non-issue, but Price clearly can play, unless he got hurt again and I didn't know it.

He’s been fighting a minor lower body injury for the past 7 weeks and missed 3 games prior to the Christmas break.  That said. Yes. He gets the same 1 game suspension as Ovi

Lol, so much for every team has to be represented and star players being left out. 

Well, Price is sitting out, so it's not like they didn't have someone before. It's hard to replace a team player with another one, because they would have had to send their backup goalie in this case lol.

If it was any other position they could have replaced him. You could have made an argument for Petry or Weber on D. And for Domi as a forward.  But Price was replaced by Vasilevsky.   Sucks for young Habs fans who care about the ASG.  otherwise not really a big deal

I guess the rules about each team having representation has changed.  Remember when John Garret was put into the allstar game back in the early 80's to replace an injured Richard Brodeur?  Nearly won MVP if it hadn't been for Gretzky.
