You Are Being Mythologized (Do Not Resist) | The Career of Carey Price
Carey Price is the winningest goalie in the history of the most historical hockey franchise in the world. Unfortunately, he was also the victim of some deification from the Canadiens fanbase. In one of the most unique relationships between a nigh-religious fanbase and an elite goaltender, Price would experience all the ups and downs imaginable in both the sport and in life.

Does anybody else catch the irony that, on the very last game of a career defined by him backstopping a team incapable of scoring, his teammates put up 10 goals?
Them putting up 10 in a meaningless game where the Panthers were resting all their best players for Price's final game is weirdly fitting, but I am glad they could get one last good game in for Carey...
@@willd1790 It's also extremely fitting given that it was the game right after Guy Lafleur passed away. 10 for #10
also ironic that Price's GM with the Hamilton Bulldogs was Julien BriseBois, Tampa's GM
@@Will-zy9qe I wonder what the alternate timeline is where JBB becomes MTL GM
@@willd1790 He probably would have been a very good GM even as a rookie GM, but would he have built a cup winning team, over let's assume over the same amount of time Marc Bergevin was? Your guess is as good as mine.
As a montrealer, I remember mid 2010s Carey Price being special. Not just in his stats, not just in the way he played, but also in the way people would talk about him, almost as if he was a sacred idol. Playing goalie in the streets and you made a big save? Carey Price. He was the heart and soul of the organization, of the city, of the province for years and I so wish he had gotten that cup in 2021. Not to see my habs win, to see Carey win. The same way he was compared to Dryden and Roy, Habs goalies will now be compared to Price. Even though I understood his reasons, I was heartbroken when he announced he would be stepping away. Every time he stops by the Bell Centre for ceremonial purposes, I don't think there's a dry eye in the building. We miss Carey, and we'll forever love him.
wait... you're serious? gotta be kidding me. carey who? his price? a loonie.
@@jdbankshotgo watch soccer dude
Price was Montreal’s kobe for a few years
@@dantethunderstone2118kobe won 5 championships.
@@jdbankshotokay? a goalie on his own can’t win a stanley cup. a young kobe can get carried to a three peat by shaq. comparing a superstar goalie in any sport to a superstar basketball player isn’t possible.
"Well he *only* backstopped the Bulldogs to Ontario's first professional hockey championship since 1967." 🔥🔥🔥 Shots freaking fired!
I was just stating a fact and complimenting the Bulldogs' achievement haha, I was not trying to take shots!
@@PinholesGrahamI have a Canadian friend…one of his favorite hockey jokes is ‘yeah you heard Hamilton wants a pro team, well Toronto does too’
Still though, nice one. wink@@PinholesGraham
Boom
I was lucky enough to have a private meet and greet with Carey November 2023. I owned one of his last ever jerseys he wore. I was going to have him sign it, but I asked him if he had any of his last ever worn jerseys. I was saddened to hear he did not. I gave him his jersey he wore in 2022 against Philly. He was moved and genuinely surprised someone would offer something like that to him with no strings. Guy could flat out play. Had it not been for injuries, he could have played to almost 40 and dominate. Suck a good piece that has been created. Everyone who doubted the kid and tore him down should watch this. Montreal had something special. He will be first ballot hall of fame! I truly feel if the Bell Center could have been filled to capacity against the Lightning, the series could have been different.
Man, that's awesome you were able to give that to him
I wanted the canadiens to that year against Tampa so bad mainly for price. Not even a Montreal fan just a wings fan who wanted a great to win a cup
Even more so than King Henrik, I feel for Carey price. He deserved a cup, and the Habs failed him time after time. This man put the team on his back year after year, and the meager supporting cast always let him down. What a shame
Beyond that, the fans often failed him too. There are still French Canadians TO THIS DAY who say "Carey Price never won anything". In the face of facts, in the face of stats, they're immovable in their rejection of him. And they're not a loud minority. There are actually quite many of them. Mostly French-Canadians, as I haven't met a whole lot of Anglophone Habs fans who don't absolutely adore Carey. And he's had to deal with that his entire career. Even after his absolutely sensational run in 2021. Marc Bergevin set Carey up. He gave him an absolutely ridiculous contract that never should have been, and he failed repeatedly to help him out by building an actual team around him. Marc Bergevin failed Carey, and he failed the Montreal fans he was always so condescending toward. My greatest regret is that Carey never wona Cup with us, or at all. I hoope he can stay close to the organization and some day have his name carved into Lord Stanley's Cup. He deserves it more than any other goalie I know.
I mean im french canadian and Carey is easily the best goalie to ever wear a pair of skates… bit of a hot take imho, we used to call him Jesus Price ffs and he was treated like royalty in our city
Nope. You heard the video. The canadiens never focused on defense. The Canadiens were scoring at a higher rate than the Rangers in those days, but still couldn’t win. Meanwhile, Rangers fans were begging for a team that could consistently score 2 goals a game, because we knew Hank would give up only 1 if he gave up any at all.
@Stacey_-bf2mb huh. Idt you remember correctly Rangers offensive rankings 2010-11 17 2011-12 12 2012-13 14 2013-14 14 2014-15 4 2015-16 12 2016-17 8 Canadiens 2010-11 12 2011-12 20 2012-13 2 2013-14 20 2014-15 17 2015-16 17 2016-17 15 Aside from 2011-13 where pryce was shaky the Habs didn't have good offenses post his rookie season.
@@Stacey_-bf2mbduring peak pryce 2014-16 they also had prime subban helping him They just couldn't score.
BABE WAKE UP NEW PINHOLES GRAHAM VIDEO
Bro I’m tired, come back to bed dawg.
Just to add something about how magical that final 10-2 game against the pathers was. The game was played on April 29th, and Guy Lafleur had died exactly a week earlier, on April 22nd. It was Guy Lafleur bobblehead night the the Bell Centre, something that had been planned long before Lafleur's death. The team scored 10 goals that night, and Lafleur wore #10. Chants of "Guy! Guy! Guy!" filled the arena as Price played his final game. The ghosts of the Forum were in the building.
This is factual information. I know. I'm a Forum ghost.
oooooh. get outta here, average goalie, myth-ified by the dumbest fan base on earth.
@@jdbankshot ''average goalie'' I laughed! A goalie of the generation. It's not debatable. The achievements speak for themselves.
@@incumbentvinyl9291ya, average. elevated status because of the blinded fanbase. accomplished absolutely nothing. overrated, deal with it.
@@jdbankshot ''accomplished absolutely nothing'' Jennings Trophy Vezina Trophy Ted Lindsey Award Hart Trophy First Team All Star Masterton Trophy Olympic Gold - Best Goalie World Juniors Gold - MVP World Cup Calder Cup It's like hockey players don't play for anything at all, because nothing is worthy, apparently. Haha! You're quite the comedian! Do you do this for a living?
I want to point out that Marc Bergevin is the villain in this story. At least 3 times, he needed to make a major trade, to help his franchise goalie and Bergevin failed him, time after time. I'd like to see a companion piece.
Burgervan and Gainey were both terrible at their jobs. Imagine if they had started a rebuild, right after the Koivu era, instead of wasting money on piecing a team together with free agents. What kind of team could we have seen Carey with in his prime? It's a damn shame.
@@DirtyDan77 2014 was the year i felt they had their best team and even then he was patching together the team with cheap glue
@@Jbonethekid Desharnais as the top C, I always cringe at that :(
we know today that bergevin was a puppet and did nothing really. It was Molson that tried to be the hero and he's a fucking tool
@@DirtyDan77 Gainey was good
I'm working on getting subtitles in French. Stay tuned :) EDIT: Et voilà!
Great vid as usual. If you need help, I'm fluent in French and English. Would love to help out
And that's why we love you so much, Pinholes
As a Montrealer, it would be a small but awesome touch to acknowledge Montreal and Quebec’s culture. Very few people would take the time to do this, so huge respect to you. Merci! P.S: I know that someone else already offered their help for the translation, but I’d be glad to contribute in making this amazing video even better!
@@fookinkoont Sure! Shoot me an email with your info and I'll send you the script and compensation :)
great video once again! from a lone leafs fan in a habs family, price and my cousin's adoration for him make him a defining player of my childhood. don't know what arrangement you have but i'm an english-french bilingual hockey writer if you need any help with some domain knowledge!
As a generational Habs fan, when I began watching hockey, Price was in his golden age. As a little kid watching Canadiens games on TV with my family, I picked Carey out as my favourite player. And he still is. Long after he's gone, he will continue to be my idol. Just writing this comment has brought back memories of me at 8 or 9 or 10 years old, wearing pillows on my legs and pretending to be Carey Price. I loved this video. It was so well designed and perfectly showcased a career that was if nothing else, incredibly memorable/ Thank you Carey for everything you've done for the game, for my team, and for me.
i got to experience such a legend, im a goalie and im born in 2002 so i only remember having price there my whole by far my favorite player of all time!
stop, i'm gonna cry. he sucked, just like that team.
Something not mentioned here that is part of the myth was his ability to always play even better for Hockey Night in Canada. To the point that he got the nickname Mr Saturday Night.
I grew up not having cable to watch the Habs but I always knew I was getting a W Saturday night on CBC
Never even heard that. Would be interesting to see some statistics.
@@incumbentvinyl9291 he’s 120-56-25. 2.32 GAA, 923 SV %
As a diehard bruins fan watching since 08. That 2014 series will haunt me forever. And 2011 felt like defeating a wall in net. What a legend
My Grandpa passed away a few days before the 2021 playoff run; we were both diehard Habs fans. What price did during those playoffs will stay with me the rest of my life. It was special
Being a Montrealer and a life long Carey Price fan, this video is a gift. Thank you.
Mentioning him dropping his stick and waving at his family knowing it was his last game gave me chills and made me tear up a little. this is a great video and it was put together perfectly.
Carey and PK were my favorite players growing up as a kid. I stopped watching in my early teens, but that 2021 run brought me back to the game. My dad and i watched every gane of those playoffs together, and ever since my love for the habs has come back. I love you carey!
It was a great run
He was special 🥲
He is special He will forever be special Carey Price is one of the greats

The level of dedication and depth that you go to with these videos is unparalleled in the Hockey sphere. As someone from the UK, I am ravenous for hockey history and hockey insight since I never had any exposure to the game growing up. Channels like this really help me feel like I can still learn about the NHL and its history. Such great channel, so glad I found it. Keep up the amazing work bud!
if you have heard of him already “the hockey guy” has tons of hockey history videos even a series going year by year. i suggest checking out his playlists
i've been dying for a jon bois type documentary but for hockey, so glad this guy is actually doing it
Thank you for this video. Carey Price in the olympics was the reason I became a goalie. Once I lost my game I and failed my hockey career, I dealt with substance use issues. I got help. Carey Price changed my life
His 2014 series against the bruins was the best I’ve ever seen a goalie play.
You must have missed Halak against Pittsburgh and Washington
If jon wont give us a hockey dorktown, this is the next best thing. Great video man, keep it up. The effort shows!
As a Habs fan and native Montrealer, this city loves Carey and the sacrifices he made for the team. A damn shame that the habs never gave him a proper team, but despite it all he was loyal to the city and the fans. We wish him the best with whatever he chooses to do next.
Thats fake my Guy 90% of mtl/habs fan hate Price 95% of french fans hate Price too for majority of habs and mtl fans Price was nothings and je was the trouble in the team but for some ppl fan of this team je was the greatest goalie ever and in the league fans/players/etc he was the best irs just at mtl Who ppl hate im

@@boudzx4105 you're such a clown. You have no idea what you're talking about. Just say you don't like him
@@boudzx4105 completely false Price is loved across the board in Montreal what people didn’t like was his crazy contract but I haven’t met 1 person who told me they didn’t like Price in 20 years.
@@boudzx4105you are clueless and obviously never talked to us
Since I started watching hockey in 2004, the best player I ever saw play hockey was 2021 playoff Carey Price. Thanks for this great video, his legend deserves it. Cheers!
The 2014 playoffs give me the vibe of a Urinatingtree quote "We have found the only way to stop a brick wall in net is to have an even thicker brick wall" (referring to the preds 2017 playoff run) Like Price was great but there are very few goalies who could have outdueled prime King Henrik
Been asking for this exact video for a while, extremely excited that you actually made it! Edit: Holy christ this is a good video. I don’t think we ever truly appreciated Price for what he did for us while he was here. Made huge saves, stole the show more times than I can count, and he was the backbone of our team for YEARS. If he doesn’t get his number retired, I doubt there will be a soul brave enough to wear it.
YES! Price is my favorite NHL player ever!!!! Caarey! Caarey! Caaaarey!
no doubt, the ABSOLUTE BEST hockey video i've seen and i'm 46!! stats, history, just the good amout of humour. Understanding and explaining at perfection the unique montreal market and an stellar narrative. Thank you!!!
damn pinholes graham got me tearing up at the end of this !! what an excellent tribute to an amazing human
I didn’t have “video about Carey Price makes me cry” on my bingo card for today, but here we are
Another banger video by The Great Pinholio!
sometimes i wake up and get sad knowing he’ll never get a cup. this video is a great tribute to the player who defined my love of hockey from my childhood to my adolescence. thank you.
Price means the absolute world to me!!! Guy is just so laid back and calm off the ice and never quit on the ice. The canadiens will never be the same again without him playing
im freaking sobbing rn man
As a MASSIVE hockey fan, and an even bigger Jon Bois fan, thank you so much for this video. The production style, the storytelling, the sometimes unhinged jokes, i seriously love it all. Not very many people can tell me stories I've already heard and keep me engrossed in a 45 minute video but this did it as well as anything. PLEASE keep making videos like this it is my sustenance.
This has to be atleast on of the best hockey player documents ever produced. I can't even imagine how many hours of research went into this. Well done, marvelously done! I'm a neutral NHL fan as I'm from Europe. I don't have ties to any NHL city or franchise so Carey Price never was anything special to me even though I could never question his skill or greatness and this video still felt somehow special to me. There still is one Habs goalie who has always been special to me. He played for the Canadiens when I started to watch and follow hockey during the early years of the 90s. Patrick Roy was always my favourite and will always be. I would love, totally love, a video like this about him even though I know his career pretty well already. Pinholes Graham is the one man who could make a 45 minute video about Roy, about his career and how he was/is as a person. I wish I could see that someday.
This made me cry and reminisce about his entire journey (and my childhood)! Thank you for creating this. Undoubtedly, it's the best tribute to Carey Price.
These videos are legitimately some of the best hockey content on youtube
As long as you post a new video I’m gonna keep on watchin em keep it up 👍
This is the first of your videos I’ve come across, and just like that, I’ll be binging your channel. This was incredible man.
This is one of the best hockey videos i’ve ever seen. The editing reminds me of a secret base video, and the overall lesson/moral you were able to find is truly incredible! I can’t wait to watch some more videos!
Incredible video, keep it up! Cheers from a hockey fan in New Zealand
this is fantastic, really well made!
Holy shit that has to be the best hockey video I ever saw!! Amazing job man, keep up the good work!
This is somehow the first video I've seen from you and I'm so sad I didn't find you sooner. Incredible video and I hope to see more by the time I'm done watching the rest of your stuff!
The music behind this video is top tier, helps bring it all together. My personal favorite was the final feather act, and the ending credits. Well done, as usual.
Glad you think so lol, I threw the music together in about an hour because I was in a rush, so I was worried it would be the weak point, but I guess not!
Growing up a massive habs fan in the Carey Price era he will probably be my favourite player forever and I don't think I'll ever see a more reliable and impactful goalie on a team I cheer for
Loved this video! I got massive Jon Bois vibes from the presentation, the delivery, and how you connected it to topics bigger than sports. Hockey youtube has been missing these kind of well researched, well presented videos and I'll definitely subscribe and be on the look out for more from you!
So good!!! This is exactly the kind of KZhead channel I’ve been looking for! A video on Hasek would be so cool
It’s amazing how much of an impact Jon Bois has had on youtube sports content. Love the inspiration!
I really love this video. As a Habs fan who only started watching hockey last season, I love hearing the tales of players from the past. I wish I could have watched Carey play, but I also accept that he has done his time and deserves a break. I just wish the team could have performed to his level.
Incredible. Going to dive into your lore throughout the weekend, insane quality.
Awesome work, as always 👏
A superb documentary on the career of Carey Price. Good work as always PHG.
Man thank you so much for that video that was everything! I hope one day carey could watch that video and have a laugh and some tears i guess. Wish we had a different team in front of him but at the end of the day for me hes one of the best goaltender to have played the game
Unreal work as always !!!!
Awesome video man you went in detail to research individual seasons and quotes. As he’s my favourite player ever there’s not a better video on KZhead
In my 24 years of life I think this stands alone as the greatest KZhead video I've ever watched.
This video is absolutely beautiful. As a habs fan, I am amazed. THANK YOU
Just discovered this channel and am going to be doing a lot of binging of the videos over the next few days! Love hockey documentaries like these!
One of your best, keep em coming
Really good videos my man keep it up they are all imterresting
I think I’ve watched/listened to the kings,leafs and ducks ones over 10 times and now you bring us one about the story of one goalie!? Who are you?? 🫡
As always you make amazing hockey content keep up the great work Graham. gonna go watch that 2021 playoff run now even though I'm not a Habs fan I can't help being a Price fan. God Bless Goalies

Another amazing video, your production and writing ability continue to grow with each of these I watch. It's a great testament to the strengths of these videos that long-time viewers (myself) and those who don't follow the sport (some of my friends) are both routinely captivated by these videos whenever we watch them. I'm always looking forward to see what's next, as the passion behind these videos is truly there.

Great video❤
Absolutely phenomenonal video. I'm not even a Habs fan and this made me want to root for them.
Nice job. Well done. I wish you much success.
On the live broadcast Pierre Mcguire called the pick "right off the reservation" within 5 seconds. And he wasn't referring to his Aboriginal roots. That aged like milk to put it lightly.
There goes another reason to not like Pierre lol. How does he keep doing it?
Pierre was kind of right though - with his comments about how the Habs didn't need Price. They really did have so many other needs
Best practice is take the best player available. If Hab scouts looked past the fact Kopitar didn't play in N. America they would have been much better off. Being in the Q even if he is Slovenian may have helped. Passing on Brule was still a miracle looking back at the Louis Leblanc pick.
Sounds racist to me. Poor choice of words considering Price was a Native Canadian. And to think they canceled Don Cherry for much much less.
Thanks for this video. I love Carey Price
another masterpiece we're sat
Great video and super storytelling. Those of us who remember the Habs of the late 60's through the 80's came alive again in the Price period.
The instagram message brought me to tears, this man gave everything he could give to the franchise, the city and the fans, while sacrificing his own mental health. He wanted to win at all cost, but no one helped him. I wish he could’ve won a cup.
I remember being in the 7th grade and having to do a report on a canadian hero. Without a shadow of a doubt Price was the guy who came to mind. I wish hed come back to play 1 more season. But im content with him being the greatest goalie ive ever seen on the ice.
