Habs' disrespectful move towards Carey Price has fans talking

This past April saw the long anticipated return to action for Montreal Canadiens goaltender Carey Price against the Washington Capitals in front of a rocking crowd at Bell Centre. The former Hart-Trophy winning goaltender had missed the entire 2021-22 season up until that point after checking himself into the NHL's Player Assistance Program, as well as rehabilitating from offseason surgery.

For his combined efforts, Price was awarded the Bill Masteron Trophy for his perseverance and dedication to hockey. But unfortunately, the latest updates during this offseason have been anything but good. 

Price, who had received injections into his knee earlier this summer, was scheduled to meet with a doctor in July, but the appointment was cancelled. It wouldn't be long afterward that Habs GM Kent Hughes announced that Price would be unlikely to play in the upcoming 2022-23 season, casting a shadow of doubt over his future hockey career. 

And it appears as though the Habs are ready to move on from their star goaltender. Not only was backup Jake Allen re-signed to a two year contract, but Price's stall in the dressing room at Bell Centre has now been assigned to backup Sam Montembeault. 

And there was a mixed reaction from fans on Twitter in response.
