Carey Price named Molson Cup Player of Month for October
While some may have questioned (and they always do) Jacques Martin’s decision to start Carey Price in goal tonight against the Atlanta Thrashers after Jaroslav Halak won in his last start against Toronto, perhaps tonight’s Molson Cup presentation swung in Price’s favour.
You will note that in the whole month that saw Halak get the lion’s share of starts and accolades, he did not garner one single star nomination for the Month, whereas Price was even issued a second star in his 2-0 loss to Chicago.
Please read on for the official Canadiens’ press release.
MONTREAL (November 3, 2009) – Netminder Carey Price is the Molson Cup Player of the Month for October.
Price, who was the overall Molson Cup recipient for 2008-09, is the first winner of the 2009-10 season. Price collected 13 points in the Molson Cup standings for October by virtue of two first-star selection (4-3 win Oct. 1st at Toronto and 2-1 win Oct. 3 at Buffalo), and one second-star selection (3-2 loss Oct. 31 at Chicago).
He finished ahead of teammate Travis Moen, who earned 8 Molson Cup points last month.
Price will be presented with the Molson Cup during a pre-game ceremony prior to tonight’s game against the Atlanta Thrashers at the Bell Centre.
