Despite his wife's condition, Carey Price is still in town for a reason

We learned this morning that Angela Price has had a tumour removed and is awaiting the results of a biopsy. She is currently recovering and has difficulty walking.

Carey Price is currently in Montreal, not at his wife's bedside. That would have been a very good reason to miss the golf tournament or postpone the announcement of his association with CF Moto.

But the main reason he's still in town is a matter of salary. Carey is undergoing tests that will prove he belongs on the LTIR (long-term injury list). This means he can be paid by insurance companies.

The point is really not to judge him. Angela is certainly in good hands right now and Carey is really happy to be in Montreal, we felt it during his interviews. In fact, it's been a long time since we've seen number 31 so smiling and enthusiastic.

Let's hope Angela will soon be back on her feet and that the good news will come her way.
