Bob Hartley is a regular contributor to Jean-Charles Lajoie's show on <i>BPM Sports</i>. The former head coach has a pretty impressive background and his interventions are always biting and relevant, whether you agree or not. This morning, Bob Hartley made a sad comment about Carey Price's career: <q>Although he'll never admit it, Chris Kreider has held Carey Price's incredible career back. - Bob Hartley</q> <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/BPMSportsRadio/status/1568214225264189440?t=tO4eFWtLdTNcGBVhj1jZAQ&s=19'> </a></blockquote></div> The purpose of this piece is not to debate whether or not Kreider's downfall was Alexei Emelin's fault, but rather to note the facts. Carey was in a class by himself. By far the best in the world in his profession, so much so that you wondered who could stop him. Until Chris Kreider got in his face, skates first. <div class='youtube_container'><iframe class='youtube_video' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/3G4IdpqvYtM' width='100%' loading='lazy' frameborder='0' title='' allow='autoplay; fullscreen' allowfullscreen></iframe></div> That brutal collision was the beginning of the end for Carey, who began having knee problems all the time after that, until now. At 35, Price would still have some very good hockey left in him. Instead, everything is pointing towards retirement for him.
