Carey Price was spotted in a new pair of goalie pads at Canadiens practice today, although this appears to be a more notable change than usual. While sources tell me that red and white are Montreal Canadiens colours, black is not. This stands to reason that Carey must be breaking in the leather (or whatever shit it is) that he'll be wearing for the Olympic tournament in Sochi.
Habs fans are hoping that Price, who is enjoying a career year behind a struggling defense, will win the starting job in Sochi over Roberto Luongo (and Mike Smith, if you're delusional). If his reflexes can remain as sharp as his leg pads usually look, then I think his chances are good. If only his mask(s) could be as fresh as the pads. Here's hoping his team Canada mask is better. The Olympics start on February 7.
